- Green Energy Council
As the global community intensifies its response to climate change, energy transition has become a defining agenda for both governments and corporations. India, aligned with the objectives of the Paris Agreement, has taken a leadership role in shaping the global net-zero trajectory.
At COP26, India made bold commitments, including achieving 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030, reducing emissions intensity by 45%, and reaching net-zero by 2070. These targets were reinforced and operationalised under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, which aims to produce 5 MMT of green hydrogen annually by 2030 and position India as a global hub for hydrogen technologies.
By COP29, progress had been made in defining market mechanisms, improving international collaboration, and expanding the scope of technology financing to support the global South. India has begun implementing these priorities through major tenders, strategic public-private partnerships, and domestic technology development.
In this context, Larsen & Toubro has taken decisive steps to lead India’s energy transition. Through its subsidiary, L&T Energy GreenTech Limited (LTEGL), the Group is building deep capabilities across Green EPC, Green Development, and Green Manufacturing—with a core focus on Green Hydrogen, derivatives and energy storage business spanning from products to projects.
L&T has formed the L&T Green Energy Council (GEC), a think-tank comprising eminent thought leaders, in a significant step towards building a global green energy business.
The council's responsibilities will be to identify technology trends in green energy, analyse the evolving global policy developments, evaluate emerging business models, and advise on collaborations.
Mr. Bart Biebuyck is one of the leading global thought leaders in the green hydrogen economy. Until 2023, he held the position of Executive Director of the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, a prestigious public-private partnership between the European Commission, Hydrogen Europe, and Hydrogen Europe Research. Today, as CEO and founding member of Green Energy Park, he spearheads the development of large-scale hydrogen production facilities worldwide, supporting national decarbonization strategies and the establishment of integrated hydrogen ecosystems.
Accomplishments:
Education: Mr. Bart Biebuyck graduated in 1998 from the Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen (HAN) in the Netherlands with a bachelor’s degree in Automotive Engineering.
Dr. Naomi Boness is the Managing Director of the Natural Gas Initiative at Stanford University and Co-Managing Director of the Stanford Hydrogen Initiative. She is an experienced practitioner in the energy sector with a focus on using her background in reservoir geophysics and technoeconomic modeling to develop technology solutions related to natural gas, hydrogen, and decarbonization in both the developed and the developing world. Prior to Stanford, Dr. Boness held a variety of technical and management positions at Chevron.
Other Current Positions:
Education: Dr. Boness holds a Ph.D. from Stanford University in Geophysics, M.Sc. from Indiana University and a B.Sc. from the University of Leeds.
Prof. Christopher Hebling is the director of Hydrogen Technologies at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE, one of the leading global research institutes on renewable energy technologies in Germany.
Additionally, he is the delegate on behalf of Germany in the Executive Committee of the Technology Collaboration Program (TCP) for the Generation and Utilization of Hydrogen of the International Energy Agency, IEA. Furthermore, he is the Co-Chair of the board of the National Organization Hydrogen and Fuel Cells, NOW.
Accomplishments:
Education: Prof. Hebling received his doctoral degree in 1998 from the University of Konstanz on the topic “Crystalline Silicon Thin Film Solar Cells on Insulating Substrates”.
Prof. S Dasappa, a faculty member at the Centre for Sustainable Technologies, Indian Institute of Science, is India's leading scientist in the Bio-gas sector.
His primary research focus spans the combustion of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels, with a current emphasis on green hydrogen. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Prof. Dasappa played a pivotal role in the development and deployment of medical oxygen generator systems in hospitals. Prof. Dasappa has consistently been identified among the World's top 2% most influential scientists by Stanford University (2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024). Prof. Dasappa has also licensed his biomass gasification process to GE, USA.
Additional current roles:
Education: Prof. Dasappa has a Ph.D from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.
