Abstract

It is conspicuous that industrialization has impacted our climate and almost every nation has a role to play in it. With rising global temperatures and increased concentrations of Carbon-dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, it is our responsibility to impede the gradual obliteration of the climate. Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) is one of the ways in which mankind can contribute to climate reversal or at least sustain rising temperatures. In this regard, the assessment of Carbon Storage sites is pivotal and in our present study, an integrated approach has been deployed to not only identify the storage site but also to estimate the volume of CO2 that can be sequestered into the subsurface. Such integrated assessment has been carried out for the first time in Mumbai Offshore Basin, making it a potential site for a Carbon sink.
