KPMG in India is hosting an online session on carbon management and industrial decarbonisation, drawing lessons from Norway and exploring opportunities in India. The event covers Norway's carbon management ecosystem, CCUS value chains, and collaboration potential between the two countries. Speakers include KPMG partner Bidyut Chakraborty. The session is relevant for companies in hard-to-abate industries and those interested in carbon capture, utilisation, and storage. The agenda includes India's industrial decarbonisation landscape, emerging CCS and CCUS opportunities, government policy outlook, and tax and regulatory considerations for Norwegian companies. It runs from 2:00 to 3:00 PM IST. This is a knowledge sharing event, not a technical deep dive, but it's a good overview for anyone tracking India's carbon market developments.

Interesting that KPMG is positioning this as a knowledge partner thing. The focus on Norway's carbon management ecosystem is useful, Norway has actual storage capacity. But the India side is more about policy outlook and regulatory considerations for Norwegian firms. So it's more about market entry than deep technical detail.

The session is only an hour, so probably high level. But the topics are relevant: CCUS value chains and industrial decarbonisation in India. I'd want to know what specific opportunities they see in hard-to-abate sectors like steel and cement. The event page doesn't list that, so maybe it's covered in the talk.

Norway's carbon management ecosystem is well established, but India's grid is still coal heavy. Decarbonising industry will need more than CCUS, it needs clean power. The event might touch on that, but I'm skeptical they'll get into the grid constraints. Still, worth attending if you're tracking India's CCS policy.

The tax and regulatory part for Norwegian companies is interesting. India's carbon market is still developing, and foreign investors need clarity on carbon credits and CCUS incentives. This event seems aimed at that. But it's only a one hour session, so likely a teaser rather than a detailed policy update.

Hard-to-abate industries in India are a huge opportunity, but the payback periods are long. Norway has experience with industrial decarbonisation, but their conditions are different. I'd like to see specific case studies or numbers on cost per tonne of CO2 avoided. The event description doesn't provide that, so maybe they'll discuss it.
