Iceland is courting India for collaboration on geothermal, CCUS, and carbon-to-stone technologies, according to The Hindu. The pitch centers on basalt-based carbon mineralization, one of the few carbon removal routes with demonstrated field results. For anyone tracking carbon capture deployment, this points to growing interest in pairing Iceland's geology with India's industrial emissions. The story matters because India has a large coal fleet and heavy industry but limited CCUS infrastructure. A technical partnership could bring practical know-how rather than just finance. The open question is whether this stays at government MoU level or moves into actual injected tonnes and operating geothermal projects.
