ABSTRACT: Carbon
dioxide (CO2) is the primary anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG). India’s
CO2 emissions are expected to increase 70% by 2025. Geologic carbon
storage (GCS) offers a way to reduce CO2 emissions. Here we present
the results of a search for the most cost-effective GCS opportunities in India.
Source-Sink matching for large and concentrated CO2 sources near
geological storage in India indicates one very high priority target, a
fertilizer plant in the city of Narmadanagar in Bharuch District of Gujarat
Province, India that is 2 sources are
