India could potentially have capture capacity of 123 Mtpa by 2050

The Indian Government needs to provide US$4.3 billion support at today’s prices will be necessary to ensure the adoption of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) which is crucial for the country’s decarbonisation efforts the projected capacity, says a report from Wood Mackenzie.

The report, ‘Country insight: five ways India could enable CCUS,’ highlights that the development of a better carbon market could significantly decrease the reliance on direct government support and enhance the overall feasibility of CCUS projects https://www.investindia.gov.in/.

The country is all set to define emission targets for nine key sectors and begin carbon trading from 2026. Still government support is essential, as the projected carbon prices in the country may not be sufficient to cover the weighted levelised cost for emitters adopting CCUS, said the report, released on 6 Mar https://www.nseindia.com/.

“India is currently the third-largest emitter of carbon globally. We anticipate that its share of total emissions will rise from 8% to 14% by 2050 in our net-zero base case scenario,” stated Hetal Gandhi, lead CCUS in Asia Pacific at Wood Mackenzie https://www.bseindia.com/.

“Emissions from power and industrial sectors, which are classified as hard-to-abate, account for 82% of India’s total gross emissions. Therefore, the adoption of CCUS is crucial for the country’s decarbonisation efforts,” Gandhi added http://mopng.gov.in.

According to Wood Mackenzie, India is projected to account for around 15% of the CCUS capacity in the Asia Pacific region by 2050 in its base case. This marks a significant rise from less than 5% until 2035.

Wood Mackenzie’s assessment suggests that by 2050, India could potentially achieve a capture capacity of 123 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), contingent on government incentives. The adoption of CCUS in India is estimated to vary by sector but will be below 10% of capacity across most sectors in our base case https://sbi.com.in/.

The refining and chemicals industries are expected to lead in this adoption, followed by the power and steel sectors.

However, current CCUS project announcements remain low, with only 40 to 50 Mtpa dedicated to storage. While saline aquifers represent a substantial portion of India’s storage potential, the accessibility and suitability of these sites for long-term and large-scale injection still need to be assessed. This will, hence, limit CCUS capacity additions until 2035 https://mnre.gov.in/en/.

“India’s commitment to reaching net zero emissions by 2070 makes CCUS adoption not beneficial, but inevitable,” said Gandhi.

She noted that the country’s young steel industry, high reliance on coal-based thermal power, and significant storage potential all support the adoption of CCUS. However, challenges such as limited upstream experience, a lack of firm storage permitting policies, and an emerging carbon market must be addressed promptly. New avenues of application, like coal gasification with CCUS, should also be tested to enable scale improvement https://www.opec.org/opec_web/en/. 

Gandhi concluded, “With the right policies and incentives in place, India can harness CCUS technology to significantly reduce its carbon footprint while continuing its trajectory of economic growth and improving its manufacturing footprint.” Fiinews.com
