Foreword
The Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment of 2014 (AR5) suggests that the carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere are approaching 400 ppm, against the pre-industrial value of 280 ppm. A safe limit of 450 ppm has been set for the year 2050 to protect the planet Earth from any climatic disasters. With the growing threat of climate change resulting from increasing accumulation of CO2-eq gases, CO2-sequestration technology is seen as an assurance for continuation of fossil fuels use, especially coal in the energy sector. To do this we must have adequate research and policy infrastructure that can help in testing CO2 sequestration and utilization options. When Dr. (Mrs) Malti Goel, who was Adviser in the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India approached me to inaugurate the five-day training workshop
