Climate Technology

Industrial decarbonisation demands more than renewable energy installations. It requires fundamental improvements in how factories, vehicles, and buildings use energy. Among the least celebrated yet highly effective interventions is thermal insulation — a technology where materials science innovations could deliver outsize climate benefits.   Energy efficiency  remains an overlooked  but critical component of climate action. The International Energy Agency  estimates  that im

Significant technological and cost challenges remain, but long-term support is also forthcoming from corporate and governments.   The market for pulling carbon dioxide directly from the air is seeing important shifts in 2025 – most notably, growing purchases from corporate – via carbon credits, for example, and sustained long-term government support. Startups have made progress on their commercialisation routes.   Direct air capture (DAC)—the technology that uses chemical, el

India's ambitious push into green hydrogen production is creating substantial opportunities for domestic deep-tech startups, with companies like Newtrace demonstrating how innovative engineering can address cost barriers that have limited clean hydrogen adoption.   The government's National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched in January 2023 with close to Rs. 20,000 crore in funding,  aims to produce  five million tonnes annually by 2030. Recent policy developments have accelera
