Hydrogen Application in Hard-to-Abate Industries – Steelmaking
CSTEP organised the event Hydrogen Application in Hard-to-Abate Industries – Steelmaking and launched its latest report on 16 December 2024. CSTEP conducted the study to explore the role of hydrogen as a viable alternative in decarbonising hard-to-abate industries. The project was funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India.
The report launch was followed by a presentation by CSTEP researchers and panel discussions.

Mainstreaming of BIPV Under PM Surya Ghar Scheme Across India
CSTEP partnered with the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH for a workshop titled ‘Mainstreaming of BIPV under PM Surya Ghar Scheme Across India'.
The workshop brought together global and Indian stakeholders to discuss building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) design, manufacturing, deployment, and India-specific needs, shaping strategies and developing comprehensive guidelines to scale up BIPV adoption in India.
Employing GIS in Climate Risk Assessment for Adaptation
CSTEP organised a webinar to deepen the understanding of geographic information system (GIS) technology and its role in informed decision-making for adapting to climate change. The webinar explored how GIS is changing climate risk analysis and providing information for formulating adaptation strategies.
Climate Hour
The 29th session of the Conference of Parties (COP29) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) marked a critical juncture in global climate negotiations. The decisions made at COP29 will be pivotal in shaping national and international trajectories toward achieving the 2030 and 2050 climate goals.
Carbon-to-chemicals: A techno-commercial assessment
Carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) is an innovative concept that involves converting carbon dioxide (CO₂) captured from point sources of emission or the air into value-added products. It has been gaining considerable attention lately for its role in realising a circular economy. In this context, our study aimed to examine the techno-economics of producing methanol and urea from the captured CO₂, while also evaluating the implications of producing these chemicals domestically, instead of importing them.
