India has launched five Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) testbeds in the cement sector—the country’s first innovation cluster to reduce industrial carbon emissions. Led by the Department of Science and Technology, these testbeds aim to trap CO₂ from cement production and convert it into useful products. The initiative supports India’s climate goals and carbon-neutral target by 2070, involving partnerships with cement companies and research institutions across five states.
