Carbon Capture
Carbon Capture
The capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) from emission streams is essential for the immediate decarbonisation of the Indian power and manufacturing (Steel, Cement) sectors. Our team develops novel adsorbents and innovative processes to decrease the energy consumption of carbon capture, thereby improving scalability.
Our interests include:
Novel adsorbents for TVSA carbon capture
Solar-powered carbon capture
Electrochemical carbon capture
Reactive carbon capture (capture coupled utilisation)
Clean Water Technologies
Clean Water Technologies
Water remediation and clean water production are cornerstones of sustainable human development (United Nations SDG 6). Our team looks into developing nanoparticle-based technologies for clean water production from wastewater streams powered by renewable energy.
Our interests include:
Solar-driven water filtration
Nanotechnology-based water purification
PFAS degradation and removal
Water-based catalysis

Methanol Economy
Methanol Economy
Our group believes that methanol will play a critical role in the energy transition of the Indian Economy. As famously touted by the great Nobel Laureate Prof George Olah and his colleague Prof Surya Prakash, methanol is indeed a one-carbon solution to a one-carbon problem (CO2). Our group looks into technologies for economic renewable methanol synthesis (from CO2 and waste) and for efficient energy extraction from methanol for transportation and energy delivery purposes.
Our interests include:
1. Low-temperature methanol synthesis from CO2 and waste
2. Catalyst development for coal-to-methanol
3. Low-temperature methanol reforming
4. Direct Methanol fuel cell (DMFC)

Power-to-fuel
Power-to-fuel
With the deployment of photovoltaic technologies, efficient methods to store surplus solar energy as synthetic fuels are needed. Our group look into ways towards fuel synthesis (H2, syngas, carboneceous fuels) through electrolysis.
Our interests include:
1. Solid oxide electrolyzers
2. CO2 to liquid fuel electrolysis
3. Electrochemical alkali production
4. Hydrogen storage
