NIT Jamshedpur Researchers Develop Carbon Capture Technology for Zero Emission Power Plants
Researchers at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Jamshedpur have developed a Pre-Combustion Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology aimed at achieving zero carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. This innovation allows chimneys to emit only steam, enhancing efficiency in energy-intensive sectors, particularly the power industry.
The findings were presented by Md. Wasim Akram, whose work led to a PhD recommendation by Dr. S.
P. S. Rajput from Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT), Bhopal.
The research is expected to contribute to India's Green Circular Economy and align with the national vision of 'Viksit Bharat-2047'. It offers potential for converting captured CO₂ into industrial products, promoting environmental benefits and energy security.
