Clean Energy

With world-leading renewable energy deployment, and deep capital markets, the UK is the natural home for Clean Energy industries. The UK’s 2035 growth vision aims to make it the most attractive place in Europe for Clean Growth investment, grow exports across all clean energy sectors, create hundreds of thousands of quality jobs across the country, drive higher domestic commercialisation of emerging technologies, and secure resilient supply chains.

With an ambitious target of over £30 billion[1] in annual clean energy investment by 2035, the UK offers significant partnership potential in offshore wind, nuclear, green hydrogen, Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS), and smart grid technologies. The UK’s net zero economy is already growing three times faster than the wider UK economy.

The UK’s strong regulatory environment, cutting-edge innovation, and experience in large-scale clean energy projects make it an ideal partner for India.

Expand your Clean Energy Business in India

India, the world's third-largest energy consumer, presents a dynamic and fast-growing market for global businesses seeking to expand globally in green technology and sustainable energy solutions. With a strong focus on climate action, India announced its ambitious climate strategy, known as Panchamrit (meaning "five nectars"), at COP26[2].

With over £150 billion[3] in projected renewable energy investments by 2030, India has become a global hotspot for clean energy partnerships. UK companies with expertise in new energy technologies, innovation, financing, engineering, storage, hydrogen, and digital energy services are uniquely positioned to co-create sustainable solutions in collaboration with Indian counterparts.

CCUS: India is in the early phase of its CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage) journey to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors like cement, steel, and power. A dedicated CCUS mission is expected to launch soon, aiming to provide regulatory clarity and accelerate deployment. A target of 750[6] Mtpa CO2 capture by 2050 has been set by NITI (National Institution for Transforming India) Aayog.

Nuclear Energy: India’s nuclear energy sector is a critical component of the country’s clean energy transition. As the government is aiming to triple its current nuclear power capacity by 2032, it opens various collaboration opportunities such as advanced reactor design, small modular reactor, safety systems, fuel cycle technology, decommissioning, and waste management.
