SCCS Working Paper 2009-04: Prospects for Carbon Capture and Storage in India

A 2009 technical report commissioned by Christian Aid and authored by University of Edinburgh and University of Surrey researchers. It explores the potential role of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology in global climate change mitigation, with a specific focus on India. The report is available for download via a persistent handle from the UK Data Service.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the technical and economic feasibility of CCS deployment based on the report's findings.
• Informing climate policy development for India based on the technology assessment.
• Benchmarking historical CCS prospects against current technology and policy landscapes.
• Studying the role of CCS in global climate action as framed in the 2009 analysis.

Strengths

• Commissioned by a named organization (Christian Aid), providing context for the research.
• Authored by researchers from two UK universities, suggesting an academic foundation.
• Has a persistent digital object identifier (hdl.handle.net/1842/15679) for reliable access.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The report is from 2009, which may limit its relevance to current technology and policy discussions.
