        The Carbon Storage Assurance Facility Enterprise Initiative (CarbonSAFE)

        …the CarbonSAFE Initiative aims to “address the R & D knowledge gaps and develop the technologies needed to nationally deploy commercial scale (50+ million metric tons) CO2 storage; understand the development of a CCUS storage complex from the feasibility study through the point of injection; improve understanding of commercial-scale project screening, site selection, geologic characterization, modelling, and monitoring; and address both the technical and non-technical challenges associated with characterization, permitting, and monitoring of a geologic storage complex.”

        The US Department of Energy and National Energy Technology Laboratory are responsible for the CarbonSAFE Initiative. It was started in 2016…

        Carbon Negative Shot

        Announced in 2021, the Carbon Negative Shot aims to spur innovation, research, manufacturing and deployment of CO2 removal (CDR). Led by the US Department of Energy (DOE), the Carbon Negative Shot is guided by four goals:Reduce the cost of CDR to less than USD 100 per tonne of CO2e for both capture and storage within the next decade (i.e., by 2030)Robust accounting of full lifecycle emissions (i.e., ensures emissions created when running and building the removal technology are accounted for). Secure geologic storage or equivalent storage with costs demonstrated for monitoring, reporting and verification.Enable necessary…

        CCUS R&D Roadmap

        The CCUS R&D Roadmap is a strategic framework to help India achieve Net-Zero emissions by 2070. It serves as a core technological pillar for decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors like power, cement, and steel through real-world test beds. Implementation is bolstered by the ₹1 Lakh Crore RDI Scheme to accelerate private-sector-led innovation in industrial decarbonisation.
