In response to India's pivotal role in combating climate change, highlighted by its assumption of the G20 presidency and COP28's call to action in 2023, the Energy Leap programme emerges as a central force driving sustainable transformation in the nation's energy sector. Led by Xynteo, this initiative focuses on decarbonizing and fostering sustainable growth within India's energy landscape, with a specific emphasis on leveraging hydrogen innovations.
Through collaborative efforts and technological innovation, the Energy Leap programme aims to catalyse sustainable growth, aligning with India's commitment to energy transition and decarbonization.
Experts and advisors of the Energy Leap programme, including Aravind Kumar Chandiran from IIT Madras and Manish Panchal from the CII Green Hydrogen Task Force, recognize the critical importance of driving innovation and collaboration in the clean hydrogen space.
They state, "As advisors of Energy Leap, we acknowledge the critical importance of driving innovation and collaboration in the clean hydrogen space. Through our collective efforts, we aim to foster advancements that not only address immediate challenges but also pave the way for sustainable growth and environmental stewardship."
The Energy Leap programme is part of a broader array of initiatives within the energy sector, including the National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency and efforts to address e-waste management, collectively underscoring the industry's commitment to reducing carbon footprints and promoting sustainability.
Commenting on the significance of collaboration, Vikas Mehta, Executive Director of SED Fund, emphasises that collaborating with the Energy Leap programme presents an exciting opportunity to catalyse innovation in the clean hydrogen ecosystem. Mehta notes, "Collaborating with Energy Leap marks an exciting opportunity to catalyse innovation in the clean hydrogen ecosystem alongside industries and investors. The Innovation Challenge award marks a significant step towards cultivating a pipeline of commercially viable solutions, driving hydrogen into the mainstream agenda and towards achieving net-zero emissions."
Vipul Kumar, Senior Partner at Xynteo, reflects on the global resonance of industry-driven commitments against the backdrop of heightened awareness and urgency surrounding climate change.
Kumar remarks, "As the sun sets on the horizon, the resonance of these industry-driven commitments reverberates globally, signalling a collaborative effort to combat climate change. Through platforms like the Exchange and initiatives like the Energy Leap programme, the energy sector is demonstrating its transformative potential in advancing sustainable growth and mitigating the impacts of climate change." As the sun sets on the horizon, the energy sector demonstrates its transformative potential in tackling climate change and fostering sustainable growth under the leadership of Xynteo's Energy Leap programme.
