As a signatory to the December 2015 Paris Agreement, India is committed to joining the global community in stabilising global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Centigrade. Rapidly growing economies such as India are faced with the challenge of reducing emissions from the heavy industry and power sectors while ensuring continued economic growth. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), where CO2 is removed from flue gases and injected into deep geological formations for permanent disposal, is recognised by the IPCC as an essential technology for meeting climate goals at least cost. While high-level studies have identified some potential for CO2 storage in India, a perception remains that injected CO2 may migrate upwards from the intended storage reservoir towards the surface. Lack of fundamental research that addresses this issue prohibits detailed assessment of the potential for CCS to contribute to emission reductions in India.COMICS will establish an international partnership to understand the potential for safe and secure CO2 storage in India's sedimentary basins. The team comprises researchers from the British Geological Survey (BGS) and two leading Indian research institutes engaged in CCS, the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) and the National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI). A new £0.5M project announced by the Indian Government's Ministry of Science and Technology 'A systematic large scale assessment for potential of CO2 enhanced oil and natural gas recovery in key sedimentary basins in India' is led by IITB. The project comprises research groups; Indian Institute of Management Ahmadabad, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, and industrial partners; Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, National Thermal Power Corporation, Essar Oil and Gas, and the West Bengal Power Development Corporation.COMICS will complement the new Indian-funded project, combining local knowledge and expertise of the Indian consortium with the experience of the BGS CO2 storage research team. BGS has been active in CO2 research for over two decades, and undertakes related research in overburden properties, fluid-migration process, and monitoring requirements, funded by combination of UKRI (such as the current NERC Migration of CO2 through North Sea Geological Carbon Storage Sites, UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre 2017) and EC H2020 projects (such as SECURe and ENOS). Our current research portfolio is worth over £5M. The COMICS project will extend these endeavours to include Indian data acquired through the new partnership, bringing new insights to CO2 storage processes in a region recognised as being vital to meeting regional and global climate ambitions.The project will initially focus on the Cambay Basin, where the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation have proposed a pilot CO2 injection project for enhanced oil recovery. The assessment of CO2 containment risks and monitoring and conformance requirements imposed by the specific geological setting are critically important. Based on the scientific research undertaken by COMICS, recommendations for safe and secure CO2 storage in the region will be developed. The research will underpin future research and development activities, including the development of new pilot CO2 injection studies. The results will also support nascent policy and commercial development of CCS through collaboration with industrial partners and state-owned companies engaged in the parallel Government of India-funded project. Facilitating CO2 emission reductions in India through targeted research activities is a key aim of COMICS. The proposed activities are aimed at securing future joint research opportunities for UK-India collaboration through Mission Innovation, existing UKRI programmes, and transnational UK Government (BEIS) funding to foster research and innovation related to accelerating CCS technologies.

作为2015年12月巴黎协定的签署人，印度致力于加入全球社区，以稳定全球温度升高至2度以下。诸如印度之类的迅速发展的经济面临减少重工业和电力部门排放的挑战，同时确保持续的经济增长。碳捕获和存储（CCS），其中二氧化碳被从烟道气中去除并注入深层地质格式以永久处置，IPCC被认为是满足气候目标至少成本的必不可少的技术。尽管高级研究已经确定了印度二氧化碳存储的一些潜力，但仍有一种看法，即注射的二氧化碳可能会从预期的存储储量向上迁移到表面。缺乏解决此问题的基本研究禁止对CCS在印度的减排的潜力进行详细评估。该小组由英国地质调查局（BGS）的研究人员和两家参与CCS的印度领先研究机构，印度技术研究所（IITB）和国家地球物理研究所（NGRI）组成。 IITB领导了印度政府科学技术部宣布的一个新的50万个项目。该项目包括研究小组；印度管理学院艾哈迈达巴德，印度理工学院Roorkee和工业合作伙伴；石油和天然气公司，国家热电公司，Essar石油和天然气以及西孟加拉邦电力开发公司将补充新的印度资助项目，将印度财团的当地知识和专业知识与BGS CO2存储研究团队的经验相结合。 BGS一直活跃于CO2研究已有二十年了，并在上过期的特性，流体移民过程和监测要求方面进行了相关研究，该研究由UKRI的组合（例如CO2当前通过北海地质碳储存地点的NERC迁移，英国碳捕获和存储储存研究中心和EC H2020 Projects（例如安全和ENOS）（例如）。我们目前的研究组合价值超过500万英镑。漫画项目将把这些努力扩展到包括通过新合作伙伴关系获得的印度数据，将新的见解带入一个对满足区域和全球气候野心至关重要的地区的二氧化碳存储过程。该项目最初将重点放在坎贝盆地上，该项目将集中于油气和天然气公司，石油和天然天然气公司提出了一项驾驶员二氧化碳注入项目，以增强油回收率。对特定地质环境施加的二氧化碳遏制风险以及监测和一致性要求的评估至关重要。根据漫画的科学研究，将开发有关该地区安全可靠的CO2存储的建议。研究将支持未来的研发活动，包括开发新的试点CO2注射研究。结果还将通过与从事印度平行政府项目的工业合作伙伴和国有公司的合作来支持CCS的新生政策和商业发展。通过有针对性的研究活动促进印度的二氧化碳排放减少是漫画的关键目的。拟议的活动旨在通过任务创新，现有的乌克里计划和英国政府（BEIS）资金来确保英国 - 印度合作的未来联合研究机会，以促进与加速CCS技术有关的研究和创新。
