July 2025 : Carbon Clean recently announced the official opening of its new Global Innovation Centre (GIC) in Navi Mumbai, India. This state-of-the-art facility, spanning 77,121 square feet, is set to become one of the world’s largest dedicated carbon capture research hubs.
The GIC houses two carbon capture plants alongside cutting-edge laboratories for solvent development, analysis, and testing, serving as a central hub for research, innovation, and technology demonstration. Carbon Clean has made a significant investment in the GIC, which will accommodate its latest technologies and an expert workforce of over 100 people, with the capacity to expand to 350 employees. This center is poised to support Carbon Clean’s continued global growth and provide world-leading capabilities in Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) research, accelerating the development and deployment of next-generation carbon capture technologies.
The Centre was inaugurated by Ms. Ajita Hathlia, Deputy Director, Trade and UK Exports, South Asia, alongside senior investors, strategic partners, Carbon Clean’s international Board, and other industry leaders.
The GIC represents a significant milestone in Carbon Clean’s mission to decarbonize hard-to-abate industries. The facility will play a critical role in scaling up the deployment of CycloneCC, the company’s breakthrough modular, space-efficient carbon capture technology, which offers a cost-effective and scalable decarbonization pathway for heavy emitters.
Aniruddha Sharma, Chair and CEO, Carbon Clean, stated: “Continued investment in innovation and R&D is central to Carbon Clean’s growth strategy. The GIC will be a game-changer in scaling our technology and accelerating the development of next-generation carbon capture solutions. As a UK-headquartered company founded in India, this investment underscores the economic and industrial opportunities CCUS offers both countries. It also reflects our global commitment to tackling the complex challenge of industrial decarbonization at scale. With pilot partnerships already underway in India, we are well positioned to progress rapidly from demonstration to large-scale deployment, helping industries remain competitive as regulations such as the EU and UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms come into force.”
Harjinder Kang, His Majesty’s Trade Commissioner to South Asia and British Deputy High Commissioner to Western India, congratulated Carbon Clean, highlighting the significant milestone in UK-India collaboration in the clean growth sector. He noted the UK Government’s sustained support, including £5 million in grants that promoted the company’s technology.
With more than 2.8 million operational hours across its technology portfolio, Carbon Clean continues to lead in innovation and performance. The launch of the GIC further reinforces its commitment to India, where Carbon Clean has pilot partnerships already underway with BHP and JSW, NTPC, and Tata Steel. This move also builds on the growing momentum behind CCUS in the country, with a national CCUS mission expected to be announced in the coming months.
