Market size of global hydrogen market by 2050
Accelerating the growth of the global clean hydrogen economy
Clean hydrogen is necessary for the world to stay on track with its net-zero goals, 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. Only by collaborating across sectors and geographies can we overcome the challenges in technology commercialisation and market creation to unlock hydrogen's benefits for society and the planet.
To solve these challenges, Xynteo launched Energy Leap in 2023
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 most hydrogen solutions lacking support for commercialisation, scaling, and driving India's potential in the world's clean hydrogen market.
Energy Leap is designed to help discover technologies from start-ups and academic and research institutes and connect these solutions with business and technical advisory, networking and partnerships, investment opportunities, and market access via a bespoke consulting approach.
India-UK hydrogen landscape and opportunities for collaboration
Upcoming webinar event
May 15, 0930 - 1100 BST / 1400 – 1530 IST
Hosted by Energy Leap and Energy Systems Catapult as part of the collaboration between Energy Leap and the Innovating for Transport and Energy Systems programme, this webinar is for Indian and UK innovators, knowledge professionals and stakeholders to explore and build understanding of the opportunity space for innovation and collaboration in building the hydrogen economy of the future.
Part of the ITES Knowledge Series, the webinar will showcase perspectives from Indian and UK experts around technology, regulatory and market landscapes for clean hydrogen across these two leading players in the global energy transition.
