In the heart of Madhya Pradesh’s steel belt, furnaces burn day and night, producing the metal that underpins India’s highways, railways, and high-rises. For workers, the economic payoff is clear, but so is the environmental cost. India’s steel sector emits more than 2.5 tonnes of CO₂ per tonne of steel produced, significantly above the global average, and heavy industries remain the country’s largest industrial greenhouse gas emitters.

Maintaining gas supply reliability above 99.99% across 3,700 kilometers of underground pipework provides Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited…

India’s lithium ion battery waste is projected to rise sharply this decade as electric vehicle adoption and stationary storage deployments scale, with industry estimates indicating end of life volumes will move from pilot scale to industrial scale well before 2030.

Swiss hydrogen technology company SoHHytec is preparing a significant international expansion into India, targeting Maharashtra as a hub for large-scale solar-driven green hydrogen projects.

Microsoft’s offtake agreement with Varaha for biochar-based carbon dioxide removal in India highlights a growing shift toward agricultural waste streams as a scalable, verifiable source of long-term removals, while also exposing the operational and integrity challenges that still define the sector.

More than half of India’s steel exports now flow to the European Union, a market that has effectively rewritten the economics of carbon-intensive manufacturing. With the EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism entering its implementation phase this month, Indian steelmakers face the prospect of paying levies tied directly to the emissions embedded in their products, a shift that threatens to erode price competitiveness built on coal-based production.

India added more than 49 GW of non fossil fuel capacity in 2025, lifting total installed clean power to 266.78 GW, yet the country’s green hydrogen ambitions remain constrained less by generation than by demand certainty.

India has taken a major step toward becoming a global exporter of renewable hydrogen and ammonia through a long-term offtake agreement signed between AM Green Ammonia India and Uniper Global Commodities.

India and Germany reinforced their strategic ties on Monday, signing multiple Memorandums of Understanding in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

India’s push to decarbonize rail transport has reached a technical inflection point, with a 1 MW green hydrogen pilot project now in the final stages of commissioning and set to supply fuel for the country’s first hydrogen-powered train.
