Hyderabad, April 19 (UNI) The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (CSIR-IICT) and Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) Corporate R&D have forged a partnership to develop technology for capturing and converting carbon dioxide (CO2) to Dimethyl Ether (DME) through direct catalytic conversion.

This collaboration, under the Department of Science & Technology's initiative on Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU), aims to harness innovative technologies to combat carbon emissions and promote sustainable energy solutions, a statement said on Friday.
