Adani is a conglomerate with holdings in coal, the most polluting fossil fuel. The Energy Revolution gallery, opening in 2023, will be sponsored by Adani’s Green Energy arm.
The museum said the gallery “will explore the latest climate science and the energy revolution needed to cut global dependence on fossil fuels”.
Dame Mary Archer, the chair of the Science Museum Group board, said: “This gallery will take a truly global perspective on the world’s most urgent challenge. We’re hugely grateful to Adani Green Energy for the significant financial support.”
Campaigners called the decision “astonishing” and “reckless”. The Science Museum has drawn criticism over sponsorship deals with the oil and gas giants Shell, BP and Equinor.
