“The future of energy lies in the synergy of conventional expertise and alternative resource innovations.”

The FIPI IIT(ISM) Student Chapter was honoured to conduct a specialized online guest lecture entitled “Hydrogen and Geothermal as Alternative Energy Resources: Methods of Production and Storage” on 11th May 2026. This academic initiative featured Dr. Annapurna Boruah, Senior Associate Professor at UPES Dehradun, who provided an in-depth technical overview of future energy landscapes.

From the complexities of the Hydrogen Spectrum (Blue, Green, Gold, and Orange) to the foundational science of Geothermal Gradients, the session provided our members with a rigorous technical framework for future exploration. Furthermore, the presentation analysed subsurface thermal structures to illustrate the viability of geothermal gradients in modern energy production. The session demonstrated how using different fields like geology, geochemistry, and drilling together helps find and develop new or alternate energy zones.

The webinar concluded with a Q&A session where participants discussed the technical production and storage of alternative energy resources. Dr. Boruah’s lecture on the hydrogen rainbow and geothermal alternatives provided valuable research ideas regarding reservoir characterization and the role of geophysics in CO2 storage monitoring.

The FIPI IIT(ISM) Student Chapter extend our sincere professional gratitude to Dr. Annapurna Boruah, for her invaluable contribution to the academic development of our members.

FIPI IIT(ISM) Student Chapter is delighted to invite you to an insightful guest lecture on “Hydrogen and Geothermal as Alternative Energy Resources: Methods of Production and Storage”, by Dr. Annapurna Boruah, Senior Associate Professor at UPES, Dehradun.

Dr. Boruah specializes in energy exploration, CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage), hydrogen energy systems, basin modelling, and sustainable energy technologies. With extensive experience in research and academia, she has contributed to several interdisciplinary projects in geosciences, energy transition, and unconventional energy resources. Her research work has been published in reputed journals and international platforms, reflecting her active contribution to the field of sustainable and cleaner energy solutions.

This session will provide valuable insights into the growing role of hydrogen and geothermal energy as sustainable alternatives for the future. Participants will gain an understanding of various production techniques, storage methodologies, technological challenges, and industrial applications associated with these emerging energy resources. The lecture will also highlight their significance in achieving cleaner energy systems and supporting the global energy transition.

We look forward to your participation in this enriching session and an opportunity to learn from Dr. Annapurna Boruah’s expertise and experience in the field of sustainable energy and geosciences.

“Effective carbon management is driven by the integration of innovation, responsibility, and decisive action.”

The FIPI IIT(ISM) Student Chapter successfully hosted an insightful online webinar on the theme “Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) in India” on April 17 2026, with the objective of improving the students’ growing awareness and sense of responsibility in relation to carbon management.

This session was delivered by Mr. Mahabir Prasad Mahapatra, MBA, PMP®, a senior geologist at Qatar Energy. He provided valuable exposure to the current state of CCUS technology and the initiatives related to its climate commitments (achieving net zero by 2070) and the involvement of India in making the youths take part in research and development, along with proposing several project ideas, were highlighted during this lecture.

The webinar concluded with an engaging Q&A session, where participants explored measures related to CCUS to be implemented in a technically sound and responsible way. His insights on Reservoir modeling and CO₂ storage analysis, gave research ideas and valuable inspiration to attendees.

The FIPI IIT(ISM) Student Chapter extends sincere gratitude to Mr. Mahabir Prasad Mahapatra for enlightening us with his immense knowledge and valuable insights.

FIPI IIT(ISM) Student Chapter is excited to invite you to an engaging guest lecture on “Carbon Capture and Storage in India: Shaping a Greener Future”, by Mr. Mahabir Prasad Mahapatra, MBA, PMP® , Senior Geologist at Qatar Energy, Doha.

Mr. Mahapatra’s expertise lies in integrated subsurface geoscience and reservoir modeling, with a strong focus on 3D geocellular modeling, seismic and log interpretation, as well as volumetric & uncertainty analysis. He has led and contributed to multiple international projects, including field development and fracture modeling studies across India, the Middle East, and other global basins.

This session will offer clear insights into how carbon dioxide from industries can be captured before it enters the atmosphere, and then either safely stored underground or reused in useful ways like making fuels or building materials. Participants will acquire an in-depth understanding of the process, its real-world applications, its benefits and limitations, and how it can contribute to a more sustainable future.
