Catalysing high-potential start-ups to accelerate the commercialisation and scaling of the clean hydrogen value chain, supporting India's energy goals and economic development

Positioning India at the centre stage of the world's clean hydrogen market
India aims to become one of the world's biggest and most innovative clean hydrogen markets by 2050 with a worth of $340 billion. National demand, expected to reach 24-60 million tonnes per annum, will underpin its growth journey, especially in the fertiliser, refining, industry, and chemicals sectors.
However, servicing this demand is inhibited by a lack of indigenisation and commercialisation across the value chain. India is reliant on external technologies and supply chains to support domestic hydrogen production.
This is where Energy Leap steps in.
Take your hydrogen technology to the next level with Energy Leap
India’s clean hydrogen value chain remains disconnected between upstream inputs (such as renewable electricity, water, or biomass), midstream production, storage and transport, and downstream clean hydrogen consumers; with made-in-India hydrogen solutions lack support for commercialisation, scaling, and driving India's potential in the world's clean hydrogen market.
Energy Leap's Growth Accelerator is designed to help discover nascent technologies from start-ups and academic and research institutes and connect these solutions across the value chain with industry players and funding agencies, create business models, and scale the technologies.
