Comprehensive | FTI Consulting discloses a high level of detail on every aspect of its climate-policy lobbying. It names the specific measures it is working on, including India’s forthcoming “National Hydrogen Policy and Roadmap,” the creation of an “H2India Green Hydrogen Taskforce,” and associated programmes such as “Hydrogen-blended Compressed Natural Gas (H-CNG)” and “National Green Hydrogen Demonstration Projects.” The company also explains how it seeks to influence these measures: it describes “direct engagement” with the Indian Government’s “NITI Aayog, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Ministry of Heavy Industries, [and] Ministry of Road and Highways,” the formation of a dedicated taskforce, and “multi-stakeholder consultations” with more than 50 domestic and international energy companies, think-tanks and academics. Finally, it is explicit about the concrete outcomes it is pursuing, targeting “a four percent hydrogen share in the national energy mix by 2030,” “75,000 hydrogen-related direct and indirect jobs,” “GW-scale electrolyser capacity by 2030,” “10 national hydrogen infrastructure projects,” and “20 percent hydrogen blending in natural gas by 2030.” This combination of clearly identified policies, well-described engagement channels and specific, measurable policy objectives demonstrates comprehensive transparency in the company’s climate lobbying disclosures. | 4 |
