Our Impact

Innovating for a low-carbon, sustainable industrial future

The Industrial Decarbonisation group focuses on developing and implementing low-carbon technologies and process improvements for heavy industries. It conducts techno-economic analyses, policy assessments, and collaborates with stakeholders to accelerate sustainable industrial transformation and emission reduction.

Contribution to the Grand Challenges

The Industrial Decarbonisation group plays a vital role in India’s Green Energy Transition by developing and promoting cleaner technologies and processes across key sectors. We focus on reducing carbon emissions from heavy industries, which are significant contributors to the country’s carbon footprint. Our work includes techno-economic assessments, technology evaluations, and policy recommendations to enable industries to adopt low-carbon alternatives without compromising growth. By collaborating with industry stakeholders, policymakers, and researchers, we drive innovation and support scalable solutions that align with India’s climate goals and economic development priorities.
