Net Zero Consulting
A clear, phased path to net zero
Structured decarbonisation for small and mid-size industrial plants, sequenced in fundable phases, without a multi-year, multi-crore program to get started.

Service tiers
Start with an audit, add a roadmap, or bring us alongside through execution, whatever fits where your plant is today.
Tier 1
Utility & Emissions Audit
Baseline utility mapping, Scope 1/2 GHG inventory, and quick-win identification.
Single engagement, weeks
Tier 2
Audit + Roadmap
Everything in Tier 1, plus a phased decarbonisation roadmap: utility-substitution sequencing, capex/opex modeling, and payback analysis per phase.
Multi-week engagement
Tier 3
Full Implementation Support
Everything in Tier 2, plus ongoing engineering support through execution of each phase, and net-zero / net-negative verification support.
Ongoing engagement
How we approach it
A four-step sequence, run in order, from baseline to verification. References the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064 as the frameworks the work is measured against.
01
Utility Audit
Baseline utility mapping and a Scope 1/2 GHG inventory of the plant as it runs today.
02
Quick Wins
Identify the cost-negative, fast-payback measures first: the ones that fund the rest of the roadmap.
03
Utility Substitution
Sequence renewable sourcing and process-efficiency levers against real capex/opex modeling.
04
Net-Zero / Net-Negative Verification
Verify progress against recognised frameworks as the roadmap executes.
A worked example: what this looks like in practice
How the same four-step approach plays out against a real plant profile, modeled step by step.
A worked example of how we'd approach a real lithium-ion cell manufacturing plant. This is the founder's own independent modeling exercise, not a client engagement.

Scope 1 (natural gas combustion)
In this model, about 96% of total abatement is net cost-negative: it saves money while cutting carbon. The remaining ~4% (green hydrogen substitution and dry-electrode conversion) is genuinely expensive or technologically immature today, and is modeled as a later-phase, non-carbon business case rather than a near-term carbon play.
Phase 1: Quick wins
2026–202868% cumulative modeled abatement
- •Optimised formation-cycling protocols
- •Efficient motors, VFDs & compressed-air optimisation
- •Dry-room dehumidification optimisation
- •Open-access renewable PPA (70% of post-efficiency demand)
All four levers are modeled as cost-negative today. The renewable PPA alone, at a modeled ₹3/kWh versus a ₹7.5/kWh grid tariff, is the single largest lever in the model, saving money from day one.
Phase 2: Structural efficiency & on-site renewables
2028–203394% cumulative modeled abatement
- •NMP-recovery heat integration
- •Industrial heat pumps for residual dry-room load
- •Captive rooftop and behind-the-meter solar (remaining 30% of demand)
Process-engineering levers aligned with direct plant experience: heat integration on solvent recovery, and thermal modeling for dry-room heat pumps. Modeled as still net cost-negative after capex.
Phase 3: Technology transition & residual
2032–2040100% cumulative modeled abatement
- •Verified carbon offsets for the unavoidable residual (~2%)
- •Green hydrogen / biomass substitution
- •Dry (solvent-free) electrode coating on 30% of lines
These levers are modeled as cost-positive and are framed as needing a non-carbon business case (solvent-safety benefits, thicker/denser electrodes, export-market carbon-disclosure pressure) rather than being pursued for carbon return alone.
See your potential savings
A quick, ballpark sense of what a decarbonisation program could mean for your utility bill, not a substitute for a full audit.
Methodology
Reduction and payback ranges reflect typical outcomes reported across structured industrial energy-efficiency programs by utility type, a rule-of-thumb range, not a model fit to your facility. A Tier 1 audit replaces this with numbers specific to your plant.
Enter your monthly utility spend to see an estimated savings range for a program like this.
Who this is for
Small and mid-size industrial plants across these sectors.
Regulatory and incentive context in India
A few of the mechanisms currently in play, as they stand today.
PAT scheme
The Perform, Achieve and Trade scheme sets energy-efficiency targets for designated industrial units and allows trading of efficiency certificates between them.
Renewable purchase obligations
State-level renewable-purchase obligations set minimum shares of renewable power for certain consumers, shaping how a plant sources electricity.
Carbon-credit mechanisms
Domestic and voluntary carbon-credit mechanisms exist for verified abatement, as they currently stand, and continue to evolve.

Who's behind this
This work is led by a chemical engineer with hands-on industrial process experience, grounded in process-safety and engineering-first thinking rather than generic sustainability consulting. Every model and recommendation is built to be defensible and source-cited, not aspirational.
