Koyali CCUS project

Dastur announced the successful completion of the Techno-Economic Feasibility of the Indian Oil Corporation Limited’s (IOCL) Carbon Capture and Utilization Project at the 13.7 mtpa Koyali refinery in Gujarat, India. The project was funded by a grant from the United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA). The project, as designed, provides IOCL with a technically and economically viable solution for capturing up to almost 0.7 mtpa (million tonnes per annum) of carbon dioxide from its Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) based Hydrogen Generation Units (HGU) at a very competitive cost structure. The captured CO2 will be primarily used at the Oil and Natural Gas Commission's (ONGC) Gandhar oilfields for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) from its maturing oil wells. A part of the captured CO2 is also expected to be liquefied and purified to 99.9% for supply to food and beverage sector consumers.
