  • Industrial Heat Electrification: What India Can Learn from Europe’s Clean Energy Investments

    India can leverage electric heating technologies and thermal energy storage to enhance industrial decarbonisation, drawing lessons from Europe’s recent initiatives. With significant energy demand growth, electrifying industrial heat in sectors like textiles and chemicals is crucial for reducing emissions. Targeted policies and renewable energy integration are essential for maximizing efficiency and promoting cleaner alternatives.

  • From CAPEX to Service: Can EaaS Accelerate Green Hydrogen Adoption in Indian Industry?

    India is advancing its green hydrogen strategy with the introduction of “Electrolyser as a Service” (EaaS), shifting infrastructure investment from industrial consumers to specialized providers. This model aims to simplify hydrogen adoption for industries like refineries and steel manufacturing by lowering initial costs, but project viability will hinge on efficient financing and operations to ensure…

  • India’s Carbon Market Moves Into Implementation: What New CCTS Developments Mean for Industry

    India’s carbon-market framework is moving deeper into implementation, with recent government actions showing a growing emphasis on sector-level emissions data, credible baselines and project-level evidence of greenhouse-gas reductions. For energy-intensive industries, this transition could have implications well beyond carbon-credit trading. As emissions measurement becomes more structured, decisions around energy efficiency, renewable electricity, fuel switching, process…

  • India’s Solar Thermal Push: Can Concentrated Solar Heat Help Decarbonise Industry?

    India’s industrial energy transition is increasingly moving beyond renewable electricity to address one of the harder challenges of decarbonisation: process heat. In a recent development, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has invited proposals for Concentrating Solar Thermal (CST) technologies for Indian industries, signalling renewed policy attention on using solar energy directly for…

  • India’s Industrial Power Market Enters a New Phase: From Renewable Energy to Firm, Flexible Power

    India’s industrial energy landscape is moving beyond the traditional question of how much renewable electricity can be procured to a more consequential one: how reliably and flexibly can clean power be delivered when industries need it? Recent developments suggest that the answer is increasingly being shaped by firm and dispatchable renewable energy (FDRE), energy storage…

  • EU Carbon Market in Freefall: Insights from Analyst Henry Lush Illuminate Market Trends and Challenges

    European Union (EU) carbon prices have undergone a notable downturn, hitting a new 22-month low at €61.40/t, as reported in Veyt’s carbon market note from Henry Lush, Analyst EU Carbon. This decline brings the market to levels not seen since the Russian invasion of Ukraine approximately two years ago. Lush’s technical analysis signals the potential…
