Since Carbon Dioxide Sequestration is a potent technology to reduce GHG emissions for climate change mitigation PetroFed organised a focused half-day seminar on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Sequestration (CCS): Status and Prospects jointly with Shell India on February 25, 2010 at New Delhi.
Inaugurating the seminar Mr. A. K. Hazarika, Director (Onshore), ONGC and Director (Incharge) Health, Safety & Environment of ONGC’s operations as well as the Head, Carbon Management Group and Member, PetroFed Governing Council made a detailed presentation on the prospects and possibilities of CCS.
Earlier Dr. Jyoti K. Parikh, Executive Director, Integrated Research and Action for Development (IRADe) gave a global perspective in her presidential address. Welcoming participants, Mr. A. K. Arora, Director General, PetroFed appreciated the response of Shell and their Group Chairman in India, Mr. Vikram Singh Mehta in particular, in focusing attention on CCS through this seminar. India, he said has conveyed to UNFCCC that by 2020 it will endeavour to reduce the emissions intensity of its GDP by 20 to 25% in comparison to the 2005 level through domestic mitigation actions.
The core session was chaired by Mr. S. K. Manglik, former CMD, ONGC with five expert presentations covering various facets of GHG emissions, CCS and climate change mitigation. An extended question & answer session demonstrated the keen interest aroused on the subject. A vote of thanks was proposed by Dr. Shailaja Sharma of Shell India.
