Bridging Technology and Capital to Scale
Decarbonization across the Global South
Watch Our Previous Conferance Video
“India’s CCUS landscape is entering a transformative scale-up phase, moving from localized R&D to a massive, gigaton-scale carbon management ecosystem under the National CCUS Mission 2026. While India has identified a storage potential of over 400 Gtpa, the challenge lies in bridging the gap between pilot success and industrial-scale deployment.
The Bharat CCUS Summit 2026 in Ahmedabad is the premier platform designed to catalyze this transition. Gathering 800+ senior leaders from India’s ‘hard-to-abate’ sectors including steel, cement, and chemicals alongside global technology partners, the summit will forge the alliances necessary to unlock the ₹20,000 Cr mission outlay. Hosted in the heart of the Gujarat Carbon Cluster, the event will focus on securing FIDs, establishing shared transport infrastructure, and showcasing world-class basalt and saline aquifer storage solutions.”
The global shift toward integrated carbon hubs is now arriving in India. As capture capacity requirements surge toward the 50 Mtpa national target, the priority has shifted to building ‘Carbon Clusters’ that can scale efficiently through shared infrastructure.
The Gujarat Carbon Cluster Forum 2026 is the definitive event for stakeholders driving this industrial evolution. Located in Ahmedabad the gateway to India’s most promising storage formations the summit brings together 800+ decision-makers from across the Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. Our mission is to move ‘from Lab to Cluster,’ addressing the critical priorities of building bankable business models, navigating the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS), and accelerating the development of the Eastern and Western industrial corridors.
The global CCUS industry is evolving into a connected, gigaton-scale ecosystem, and India is poised to lead this transition for the Global South. To meet the urgent climate goals of 2030, we must move beyond isolated projects toward a globally integrated carbon management framework.
India CCUS Impact 2026 in Ahmedabad serves as the apex gathering for this movement. As the premier knowledge hub for the National Mission, this summit convenes 800+ leaders in finance, policy, and engineering to solve the ‘deployment gap.’ By showcasing ‘World’s Best Practices’ and fostering cross-border collaboration, the event will focus on mobilizing capital, training a specialized workforce of 1,200+ professionals, and establishing India as a global exporter of CCUS expertise and ‘Green Steel’ solutions.

As Gujarat establishes itself as India’s premier CCUS hub state, the Gujarat State CCUS Mission Chapter presents a landmark report on the key entities securing the region’s industrial future. This whitepaper highlights the ‘Top 50’ companies actively deploying carbon management solutions within Gujarat’s industrial heartland—spanning refineries, chemicals, and power. By showcasing project case studies and vetted technology pathways, this report serves as the essential directory for industrial enterprises seeking to align with state-level incentives and global ‘Green Steel’ standards.
The Gujarat Carbon Cluster Forum 2026 is the region’s premier event for CCUS driving this transition. Gathering 800+ senior leaders from the steel, cement, refinery, and chemical sectors across Gujarat and India, the summit will forge partnerships and strategies for cluster-based deployment. Through high-level discussions, the forum will address critical priorities including securing FIDs, accelerating the Gujarat State Chapter’s development, and showcasing World’s Best Practices for hub-and-spoke solutions.
The Gujarat CCUS industry is entering a decisive scale-up phase moving from isolated pilots to a connected, state-wide carbon management ecosystem serving as a national model. While capture goals for Gujarat are set at 5-8 Mtpa by 2030, achieving this requires a shift from standalone projects to integrated clusters. To close this gap, the priority is shifting to rapidly building a regionally integrated ecosystem that can scale efficiently, unlock ₹500 Cr in state-level capital, and enable vendor-industry collaboration.
The Global South’s CCUS industry is entering a decisive scale-up phase—moving from laboratory R&D to a connected, knowledge-driven carbon management ecosystem led by India. While technical expertise is growing, the path to capturing 35 million tonnes annually requires a transition from theory to specialized capacity building. To close this gap, the priority is shifting to rapidly building a globally integrated ecosystem that can scale efficiently, unlock ESG-led investment, and enable South-South collaboration.
India CCUS Impact 2026 is the premier knowledge-sharing event for CCUS driving this transition. Gathering 800+ senior leaders from industry, finance, and policy across India, Southeast Asia, and Africa, the summit will forge partnerships and strategies for inclusive, large-scale deployment. Through high-level discussions, the summit will address critical priorities including securing FIDs, training a cohort of 1,200+ CCUS professionals, and showcasing World’s Best Practices for sustainable carbon solutions.
