What is Carbon Capture? Explained Simply for Everyone
🌍 Introduction
Every day, industries, vehicles, and even power plants release carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the air. This greenhouse gas traps heat and contributes to global warming. To fight climate change, scientists and companies are turning to a technology called Carbon Capture.
At Group Surya, we are investing in this innovative solution as part of our commitment to a cleaner, sustainable future. But what exactly is Carbon Capture, and why does it matter? Let’s break it down.
🌱 What is Carbon Capture?
Carbon Capture is a process that traps CO₂ at its source—before it enters the atmosphere. Think of it as a giant filter for factories, industries, or power plants.
Instead of releasing CO₂ into the air, the gas is:
-
Captured from smokestacks or industrial processes.
-
Transported through pipelines or tanks.
-
Stored or Reused safely underground or converted into useful products.
🏭 Why Do We Need Carbon Capture?
-
Climate Change: CO₂ is the biggest contributor to rising global temperatures. Capturing it reduces pollution.
-
Industrial Reality: Some industries like steel, cement, and fertilizers cannot stop producing CO₂ entirely. Carbon capture offers them a solution.
-
Net-Zero Goals: To achieve India’s 2070 Net-Zero pledge (Government of India Net-Zero Roadmap), carbon capture is essential.
⚡ Types of Carbon Capture
-
Pre-Combustion Capture – Capturing CO₂ before fuel is burned.
-
Post-Combustion Capture – Filtering CO₂ from smoke after burning.
-
Direct Air Capture (DAC) – Removing CO₂ directly from the air (like giant “CO₂ vacuums”).
🔄 What Happens to the Captured Carbon?
-
Storage: CO₂ can be injected into deep rock formations or empty oil & gas fields.
-
Utilization: Captured CO₂ can be reused to make building materials, synthetic fuels, or even in carbonated drinks.
🌟 Benefits of Carbon Capture
-
Reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
-
Keeps hard-to-abate industries (cement, steel, oil & gas) running sustainably.
-
Creates opportunities for new jobs in clean technology.
-
Helps countries meet climate pledges.
🚀 Group Surya’s Role in Carbon Capture
As part of our expansion into Renewables, Green Ammonia, and Carbon Capture, Group Surya is actively exploring:
-
Industrial applications: Integrating capture systems in energy-intensive industries.
-
Clean fuel synergy: Using captured CO₂ in green ammonia & hydrogen projects.
-
Sustainable future: Ensuring our businesses—from Solar to water solutions—support India’s clean energy roadmap.
📌 Final Thoughts
Carbon Capture is not just science—it’s a lifeline for our planet. While solar and renewable energy reduce emissions, Carbon Capture ensures that industries can operate responsibly while we transition to greener fuels.
At Group Surya, we believe in a multi-solution approach to sustainability: from Solar to carbon capture and green hydrogen projects, we are building a future where growth and sustainability go hand in hand.
