Dastur Energy has completed the techno-economic feasibility study for the Indian Oil Corporation Limited‘s (IOCL) carbon capture and utilisation project at the Koyali refinery in Gujarat, India, which processes 13.7 million tonnes per year.
The initiative was supported by a grant from the United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA).
As conceived, the project offers IOCL with a technically and economically feasible option for collecting up to nearly 0.7 million tonnes of CO2 per year from its SMR-based Hydrogen Generation Units (HGU) at a very reasonable cost structure.
The CO2 collected will largely be used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) from mature oil wells at the Oil and Natural Gas Commission’s (ONGC) Gandhar oilfields.
