Hyderabad / Colombo, 27.01.2026
Greenstat Asia Pvt Ltd and the Institute of Fire & Disaster Management Studies (IFSDMS), Vadodara, Gujarat, India, have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to collaborate on the establishment of a Center of Excellence (COE) in Hydrogen and Process Safety.
The proposed COE aims to address one of the most critical enablers of the hydrogen transition: safety, skills, and institutional capacity. The collaboration will focus on applied training, advanced risk modelling, testing and certification support, and the development of safety frameworks aligned with international best practices and national hydrogen programs.
Under the LOI, the parties will jointly explore:
Greenstat Asia will contribute international expertise in hydrogen and process safety, curriculum development, access to advanced modelling and simulation tools, and support for international partnerships and funding pathways. IFSDMS will act as the host institution, providing infrastructure, faculty, and operational capacity to deliver training and certification programs.
“Hydrogen will only scale if safety scales with it,” said Sturle Harald Pedersen, Chairman of Greenstat Asia.
“This collaboration is about building long-term institutional capability — not just projects. By combining international experience with strong local institutions, we aim to support industry and authorities in deploying hydrogen safely and responsibly.”
Commenting on the collaboration, IFSDMS Chairman Vikram Mahurkar leadership noted:
“As hydrogen technologies begin to enter industrial, transport, and infrastructure applications, safety competence becomes non-negotiable,” said a senior representative of IFSDMS.
“Through this collaboration, IFSDMS aims to strengthen professional training, applied research, and certification capacity in hydrogen and process safety, supporting industry, regulators, and emergency services with practical, field-oriented expertise.”
The initiative is intended to support industry, ports, infrastructure developers, public authorities, and emergency response organizations as hydrogen deployment accelerates across Asia. The LOI marks the first step toward a structured partnership, with the parties now working toward a detailed implementation plan, governance model, and phased rollout of the COE.

On 14 August 2025, the Greenstat Centre of Excellence in Hydrogen (COE-H) had the honour of hosting Professor Sir Jim Skea CBE FRSE FEI HonFSE, Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), for an exclusive session on the state of global climate science and the path ahead.
About the Webinar
The IPCC plays a central role in shaping global climate policy by providing rigorous, science-based assessments of climate change. In this webinar, Professor Skea unpacked the key findings of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, explained their direct relevance to the Paris Agreement goals, and highlighted knowledge gaps that must be urgently addressed. He also shared insights into the Seventh Assessment Cycle, setting the stage for the next decade of global climate collaboration.
Key Takeaways
What the IPCC is and how it works.
Key findings from the Sixth Assessment Report critical for achieving net zero emissions and the Paris Agreement.
Where global climate knowledge gaps remain and how they can be addressed.
Plans and priorities for the Seventh Assessment Cycle.
One of the most striking points shared:
“To stay below 1.5°C, global emissions should have been halved during the 2020s. That hasn’t happened. This means 1.5°C is now almost out of reach. Even keeping warming under 2°C will require drastic action in the next decade.”
This urgent message reinforces that every fraction of a degree matters. Beyond 2°C, we face irreversible risks to coral reefs, forests, food security, and future generations.
Why Watch the Replay?
If you are a researcher, policymaker, or clean energy professional working in fields such as green hydrogen, energy transition, and capacity building for net zero emissions, this is a must-watch session. Professor Skea’s decades of leadership in energy innovation, just transition frameworks, and international climate policy offer unique insights to guide today’s action.
