“…An estimate by the IEA state that to meet the Paris agreement goals, an additional investment of USD 9.7 trillion, by 2050 would be required in Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) deployment (IEA 2019). Wei et al (2021) also estimated a similar number at USD 8.2 trillion as per the "global cost effective CCUS layout strategy". Moving ahead with IEA's estimatein absolute terms, this is almost 3.4 times the size of India's GDP.…”

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is a three-tier process- carbon capture, transport andstorage. The capture consists of pre-combustion, oxy-combustion and post-combustion capture.Transport of CO2 is most viable through pipelines.The biotic CO2storage occurs throughterrestrial or oceanic pathways and can be simulated naturally or artificially. The abiotic/geologicstorage is achieved through sequestering CO2 in depleting/depleted hydrocarbon reserves, indeep saline aquifers or through mineral carbonation. At the district level, 64 out of 641 districts(2013 government reports) accounted for ~ 60% of the total CO2 emissions. Controlling CO2emissions comes with the challenge of sustainable socio-economic growth of the country- ademanding task for the economy. Indian organizations have made international collaborations.India holds a substantial geological sequestration potential in its basaltic rocks, coal seams,depleted oil reserves, soils, deep saline aquifers and sedimentary basins. At this point, no carboncapture and storage / clean development mechanism projects are operational in the country. Thenext 10-15 years would be very crucial for India to attain technological advancement to deploylarge-scale CCS projects.

“…Carbon removal and storage does come with specific geo-and biophysical conditions that lend support to geographical equivalence and the international exchange of removal responsibilities. Geological storage capacity, for instance, is unevenly distributed across space, implying that some countries will be unable to store captured CO 2 within their jurisdictions (Kelemen et al, 2019;Wei et al, 2021). Similarly, higher biological sequestration rates in the tropics favors them as locations for afforestation/reforestation and bioenergy production in global estimates of mitigation potentials (Griscom et al, 2017).…”

Concerns are increasingly raised over the centrality of carbon removal in climate policy, particularly in the guise of “net-zero” targets. Most significantly perhaps, treating emissions and removals as equivalent obscures emission reductions, resulting in “mitigation deterrence.” Yet the conflation of emission reductions and removals is only one among several implicit equivalences in carbon removal accounting. Here, we examine three other forms—carbon, geographical, and temporal equivalence—and discuss their implications for climate justice and the environmental risks with carbon removal. We conclude that “undoing” these equivalences would further a just response to the climate crisis and tentatively explore what such undoing might look like in practice.

“…9,10 Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been highlighted as a promising solution to achieve efficient decarbonization to mitigate climate change. 11,12 Greenhouse gas removal (GGR) has also been considered for climate change mitigation. 13 This suggests that deploying CCS and GGR technologies is integral to meeting climate change and sustainable development goals (SDGs).…”
