Shifting seasons, changing rainfall patterns, floods and fires across the globe, all have become realities before us. In the meeting of COP 26 held in Glasgow in November 2021, world leaders have agreed to take intense climate change mitigation actions in a move towards net-zero emission targets. It is therefore vital to recognize Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) as one of the key energy technologies and understand natural and manmade carbon sinks on land and air.
