ONGC inks MoU with Shell for carbon capture, utilisation, storage

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) signed an MoU with global petroleum giant Shell on 7 December 2022, for cooperation in Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) studies.

The MoU is aimed at developing Carbon capture, utilisation and storage, or CCUS/carbon capture and storage (CCS) as an emissions mitigation tool for combating climate change and injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) for geological storage as well as enhanced oil production from mature fields of ONGC.
