Analysis of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology in the Power Sector in India
In the study of CCS technology in relation to India’s Power Sector, IRADe projected emissions of CO2 from power plants in future, carried out literature survey to identify developments in carbon capture technology and evaluated each technology for its economical and technical viability. Specification of sequestration sites, identification of the way forward for development, evaluation of monitoring options of CCS, regulatory issues were discussed . The study provides an opportunity for policy makers to engage in debates. The study recommended that the impact of CCS on the cost of power generation should be assessed with various options to define appropriate technology and costs under Indian conditions.
