Can CCUS Scale in India? Researchers, Industry & Investors Debate the Molecule to Market Path
Can carbon utilisation scale in India? The science is advancing. The technologies are improving. But the harder questions remain.
At Boring Deeper, GPS Renewables' first Boring Climate Conference, researchers, industry leaders, and investors -- many of whom were part of drafting the CCUS R&D roadmap: R&D Roadmap to Enable India's Net Zero Targets through Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) -- came together to discuss what it will take to move carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) from molecule to market.
Featuring:
Research: Vivek Polshettiwar, Chinmoy Ranjan and Rajnish Kumar
Industry: Sushma Rawat and Lovish Ahuja
Investment: Ashish Goel and Vishnu Rajeev
Moderated by Sebastian Peter.
The discussion explored the realities of scaling CCUS in India, from technology readiness and catalyst development to carbon pricing, investment viability, and the policy frameworks needed to support deployment at scale.

When Mangoes Bloom Early: Geetha Ramaswami & Suhirtha Muhil on What India's Trees Are Telling Us
India's trees are flowering earlier than they used to. Geetha Ramaswami and Suhirtha Muhil M have spent 15 years documenting exactly this through SeasonWatch, a citizen science initiative they helped build that has now logged nearly 900,000 observations of tree behavior across India.Geetha is an ecologist and one of the principal researchers behind SeasonWatch. Suhirtha led the development of SeasonWatch's Climate Change Educator Handbook — designed to be age-appropriate, culturally grounded, and taught through the tree outside the classroom window.We ask them what phenology is and why it matters, what 900,000 data points reveal about India's shifting seasons, what happens when a mango tree flowers three weeks early but its pollinators don't follow, and how citizen science turns everyday observation into a data revolution.
