Strengthen National Climate Policy Implementation: Comparative Empirical Learning & Creating Linkage to Climate Finance (SNAPFI)
July 1, 2019
| Climate Change
International climate finance (ICF) is a vital means for supporting the implementation of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) of emerging and developing countries and facilitating the enhancement of climate ambitions. The overall aim of the project is to explore the implementation of NDCs in different geographies, and how this can be supported through ICF.
Consultancy services for setting up of a floating solar power plant of suitable capacity in JNPT, Navi Mumbai
June 29, 2019
The main objectives of this project are to prepare detailed feasibility report, detailed project report, bid evaluation services, and supervise the installation and commissioning for setting up a suitable capacity floating Solar PV plant in JNPT, Mumbai.
Independent assessment of waste management in municipal corporations of Delhi
June 16, 2019
| Waste
A waste-to-energy (WTE) plant is a concept that is now being widely considered, which uses the segregated waste in order to generate energy for example biogas through bio-methanation, or electricity through incineration.
Setting up of a Bio Methanation plant (TEAM process) 200 kg/day at NTPC-Farakka for the production of biogas and manure from organic solid waste
April 20, 2019
The main objective of this project is to install a solid waste treatment plant based on TERI's Enhanced Acidification and Methanation (TEAM) technology at NTPC Farakka. This plant would treat 200 kg of organic waste generated from the kitchens. TERI will supply the TEAM equipment, erect, and commission the plant. The biogas produced from the plant will be used for partial replacement of LPG in the kitchen; and the manure will be used for horticulture purposes.
Integrated domestic energy systems in rural communities in India through carbon finance
April 1, 2019
The project involves providing access to clean and affordable cooking energy services in various states of India through dissemination of improved, energy-efficient forced draft technology based biomass cookstoves. Under this project the traditional /non-efficient biomass cookstoves will be replaced using carbon finance generated through the use of cookstove.
Assist FISE Bangalore to implement the learning programme on 'Creating a Shared Framework and Roadmap to Adoption for Clean Cooking in India'
April 1, 2019
FISE in collaboration with the Tata Trusts Clean Cooking Alliance, Sambodhi Research, Nexleaf Analytics and 4 other implementation partners is leading this initiative. This initiative has been designed around the core understanding that unless there is sustained use and adoption of clean cooking solutions and subsequent reduction in the usage of traditional stoves in the household cooking stack, impacts on health and quality of life cannot be achieved.
Studies on thermal degradation of crop residues for kinetics, bio-polymeric transitions and value added products
April 1, 2019
The objective of the project is to study the thermal degradation kinetics of selected biomaterials during biomass gasification. It also aims to analyze, model, and validate at laboratory scale the time dependent thermal degradation processes in terms of temperature, biomaterial parameters, and the process output. Under this project, the process conditions for generation and extraction of different gaseous & residual substances from the crop residues will be properly defined and established.
An assessment of socio-economic impacts due to melt water variability in Himalayan States
March 28, 2019
| Water
| Climate Change
Studies linking the impacts of climate change on glaciers and meltwater availability, and associated impacts on livelihood of local communities are missing. This makes it difficult to understand the real impacts of glacier melting on local livelihood except oft quoted statements about the dependence of downstream communities.
Smart/bioactivated nano-probes for extraction and characterization of bioactive compounds from marine resources: macro and micro algae
March 22, 2019
The main objectives of this project are to: (1) Design of nano-probes loaded with probe derived against proposed bio-active molecules which are either metabolites/proteins/peptides (polyamines/ Brassinosteroids/Jasmonides/ signal peptides/antioxidants); (2) Establish a robust reproducible extraction methodology for metabolites/ proteins/ peptides sourced from algae-micro algae; (3) Further screening of algae metabolite or protein/peptide for relevant bioactive molecules with a cell growth inhibitory/ antioxidant properties; (4) Isolation and Characterizat
