IIT Bombay is at the forefront of India’s ambitious effort to decarbonise the cement industry. As one of five national Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) testbeds announced by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), the Institute is partnering with Dalmia Cement to develop a catalyst-driven CO₂ capture process, installed directly at a cement plant. This initiative is part of a pioneering Public-Private Partnership model aimed at deploying real-world, scalable solutions in hard-to-abate sectors.

The testbed reflects IIT Bombay’s strength in translational research and its commitment to solving climate challenges through science and engineering. This work not only strengthens India’s path to net-zero by 2070 but also reinforces the role of academia in driving clean industrial transformation.
