Discussion Paper on GHG Emission Inventorisation Tool for Iron and Steel Industry
January 31, 2007 to
July 31, 2007
The current WRI Iron and Steel GHG Inventory Tool is several years old and provides very simple calculation approaches for this sector. The new IPCC guidelines reflect further thinking on this sectors sources, as well as updated and new emission factors. The International Iron and Steel Institute has also develop a tool for GHG accounting. In order to update the WRI I and S Tool the present thinking on GHG emission inventorisation has to be consolidated.Trade Liberalization in Services
September 1, 2006 to
July 28, 2007
The objective of the project is to find out the impact on the various strata of the economy in terms of public, private and community sector with regard to liberalization in tourism and health sector. The project tries to find out how liberalization has impacted some of the goals of MDG related to income generation, living standards of community people after liberalization with a vision to find out possible gaps in attaining the development goals.This project is funded by United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.
Green design, energy efficiency and renewable energy systems in the upcoming hospital for Fortis Healthcare Limited
September 5, 2005 to
July 18, 2007
The proposed multi super speciality hospital with special focus on Cardiac and GI diseases, envisages incorporation of energy efficient design at all levels. It is a vision of the Fortis Healthcare Limited to optimize the design and building systems to achieve best standards in Green design for the proposed hospital complex at Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi. The complex will have 3,20,000 sft. Built up area in Phase I and 20,00,000 sft. in Phase II.Mobile air-conditioning assessment study in India
September 16, 2005 to
July 2, 2007
India''s Mobile Air-Conditoning (MAC) study is about the mobile air-conditioners which results in the direct emissions of chlorofloro carbon (CFC refrigerant), and the indirect emissions of CO2 generated by the extra fuel required to power the A/C system. The objective of this project is to determine fuel consumption and CO2 emissions due to operation of the MACs in different regions of the country with the refrigerant used presently and further estimate the same, if advanced refrigerants are used. This project would also carry out toEnvironment Knowledge Hub (eKH) on Energy for South Asia
September 1, 2006 to
June 30, 2007
Within overall ambit of UNEP's endeavour of establishing an Environment Knowledge Hub for the region, TERI is developing a package of the knowledge related to the energy aspects in South Asia sub-region, based on existing information/databases.Development of protocols for increased cell density for Glori cultures
April 1, 2007 to
June 30, 2007
The objectives were:1. Standardization of fermentation conditions to increase the cell density by manipulation of :
i. Temperature condition
ii. Inoculum density
iii. Agitation
2. Standardization and selection of suitable growth factors to achieve higher cell density of at least 108 CFU per ml of sample.
3. Following growth factors were tested :
i. Growth stimulators (Vitamins and trace minerals)
ii. Carbon source (combination of different carbon sources)
