SPRINT 3: Mitigating Environmental Impacts of Post Combustion Carbon Capture Plants

This event has ended. Find the presentations here.

SCOPE (Sustainable Operation of post-combustion Capture plants) contributes to accelerating the decarbonization of industry by holistically addressing key knowledge gaps and emission reductions from amine-based carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) along with information exchange that is critical in mitigating the environmental impacts of emissions and addressing the climate change. Global warming is a well-known, worldwide concern, caused by increasing concentrations of CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere mainly due to anthropogenic activities. India is also making a decisive march towards a sustainable energy future. India’s pledge at COP26 towards a net-zero by 2070 further accelerates this momentum. CCUS has an important and critical role to play in it especially for India to accomplish net zero by 2070.

The SPRINT (Stakeholder, Policy, Research and Industry NeTwork) event hosted by the GGS Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) will provide a valuable opportunity for key stakeholders to share knowledge between universities, technology institute, research institutes, industry operators, including regulators and other stakeholders involved in permitting process and development of environmental quality standards. Further the scope is to gain an understanding and knowledge of the environmental impact mitigation of amine-based carbon capture and other toxic compounds on the ecosystem. Integrating science, policy and industry knowledge will help in determining various mitigating strategies to reduce the environmental impacts of emissions and benefits and public perception towards post-combustion carbon technology.
