The UK real estate transition is no longer constrained by ambition. Developers, lenders, owners, and advisors increasingly recognise that sustainability is fundamental to asset quality, resilience, and long‑term value. This report distils learnings from a cross‑sector roundtable and deep‑dive interviews with senior leaders across London’s development ecosystem.
India’s growing interest in low-carbon hydrogen reflects a broader global trend: several industrial sectors are beginning to explore transition pathways where molecular fuels may play a long-term role. Electrolyser (technology required for producing hydrogen from renewable electricity) manufacturing capacity is expanding, and early pilots are emerging across green ammonia, mobility, and steel. As attention shifts from technical feasibility to commercial viability, a key strategic question emerges: what actually drives green hydrogen from early projects into large-scale market adoption?
India’s clean hydrogen ambitions risk stalling due to weak storage, transportation, and safety infrastructure. Hydrogen storage—particularly high-pressure systems for mobility and distributed use—is a system-critical enabler that remains underdeveloped, underfunded, and poorly aligned with existing capital and policy instruments.
India could emerge as a cost-competitive hub in a multi-billion global market. Yet, systemic barriers—spanning financing, infrastructure, regulation, coordination, and competitiveness—hinder the leap from lab innovation to commercial deployment.
This article from Sam Preece, Partner, Xynteo, explores how leveraging the X-SR framework can allow organisations to transform complex challenges into practical, actionable pathways that deliver commercial success
India’s aviation sector has grown rapidly over the past decade, with domestic passenger numbers increasing from around 50 million in 2010 to approximately 230 million in 2024. India will require a rapid scale-up in SAF production, but the availability of sustainable feedstocks remains a critical bottleneck.
The fifth and final paper in Xynteo’s Future of Mobility series, Charging Infrastructure for Electrification of Road Transport, turns the spotlight on the often-overlooked final pillar—decommissioning and recommissioning.
In August 2025, the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) announced a record-low price of ₹49.75 per kg ($569 per MT) for green ammonia under the Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition (SIGHT) program, a significant drop from the 2024 H2Global auction’s ₹100.28 per kg ($1,153 per MT). This article examines the price discovery, auction winners, cost drivers, broader implications, including import substitution, export potential, market development, and associated risks and mitigants, along with a detailed table of the auction winners.
Build Ahead’s latest working paper explores how India’s green housing finance ecosystem can evolve to unlock sustainable growth in the built environment, and maps current financing instruments, assesses institutional readiness and identifies pathways to scale certified green lending through collaboration among financiers, developers and certification bodies. This marks the first step towards a shared roadmap for mainstreaming green capital in India’s construction and real estate sectors.
India is entering one of the largest construction cycles in history—amid intensifying climate risks and a fast-approaching net-zero horizon. With embodied carbon already accounting for around 30% of built environment emissions—and set to reach 50% by 2050—there’s an urgent need to decarbonise the materials that shape our cities. Cement and concrete alone contribute roughly 45% of a building’s embodied carbon. …
India is at a pivotal moment in the green hydrogen transition. With world-class renewable resources, deep engineering capabilities, and a fast-maturing innovation ecosystem, the country can lead the next wave of clean industrial growth. The question is no longer “if” — it’s “how fast” we can move from promising prototypes to commercial deployment at scale.
Rather than simply meeting regulatory demands, companies must harness sustainability data to unlock value, accelerate innovation and build long-term resilience. Through dynamic discussions and hands-on exercises, participants at KEY ESG’s Sustainability Unlocked explored how to turn reporting obligations into opportunities for competitive advantage.
