Hydrogen is critical in the global push toward decarbonization, particularly to achieve a low-carbon economy. Current hydrogen production processes emit around 1,200 million tons of CO2 annually, accounting for ~3% of global carbon emissions. The majority of the 95 million tons of hydrogen produced in 2022 came from fossil fuels, with natural gas accounting for about three-quarters of the production …

As India’s electric vehicle revolution gains momentum, the country faces a critical challenge: building a circular ecosystem for electric vehicle (EV) batteries. With projections showing that by 2030, 128 gigawatt-hours’ worth of EV batteries will reach their end-of-life for primary automotive applications, the imperative to develop robust recycling and second-life infrastructure has never been more urgent.
India’s industrial sector, consuming 51% of the nation’s energy and generating 31% of energy-related emissions, presents a critical decarbonization challenge through its heating requirements. While green hydrogen offers promise, the path to sustainable industrial heating requires a strategic assessment of multiple solutions – from bio-derived fuels to electric heating systems and thermal storage. Success lies in understanding how these technologies …
Last month, sales of new battery electric vehicles reached a milestone – hitting 25% of all new car sales for November. Yet, even with this good news, the 2030 ban on the sale of new ICE cars is fast approaching, and overall adoption rates are plateauing. And while Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate is placing immediate pressure on automakers to scale production, we need renewed urgency across the entire value chain in tackling the systemic changes and innovations needed to drive growth.
In this article from Xynteo’s Amy Marshall and Ashish Pandey, we unpack some of the key points from our recent EV roundtable discussion – as we all look to a world of zero emissions, electric transportation.
