IIT Bombay To Boost Research In Decarbonising Petroleum Sector
New Delhi: The Directorate General of Hydrocarbons under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has joined hands with the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, to foster research and development in enhanced hydrocarbon recovery and geologic carbon dioxide storage.
The Memorandum of Understanding signed between DGH and IIT Bombay aims to drive the advancement of new energy and decarbonisation technologies in India. This will be achieved via collaborative learning, joint research, innovative breakthroughs, and potential deployment. This comes after the DGH set up a new department, Hydrocarbon Efficiency and New Energy -- launched by the Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri at UrjaVarta 2024 organised in July.
Meanwhile, IIT Bombay has been spearheading a large number of initiatives in the petroleum sector, including upstream and downstream, conventional and unconventional.
