CO₂ Geosequestration: Capturing Carbon for a Sustainable Future

Dr. Annapurna Boruah is a senior associate professor at UPES Dehradun, India. She is a geoscientist, energy explorationist, sociopreneur. She was awarded her doctorate in geology from the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda. Her research activities related to shale gas exploration, CO2 sequestration, and new hydrocarbon prospect identification techniques have set a new paradigm for understanding the future energy prospects of India. With 10+ years of work experience in both research and academics, she developed skills in diversified areas of earth science, energy exploration, and petroleum engineering. She has published many (30+) research papers in reputed journals, books, and conference proceedings. She delivered talks and courses at several international forums and has accomplished many (10+) industrial and collaborative projects in collaboration with industries and international universities. She is a part of "i-HAV," a special exploration drive of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG). She is the deputy associate editor of "Interpretation" Journal and an editorial board member of "Nature Portfolio". Recipient of the DST International Travel grant, AAPG Young Professional, Goldschmidt Students’ Mentoring Grant, etc. She was featured on the January 2020 cover page of "Drilling and Exploration World" magazine as an inspiring woman in oil and gas.
