Life cycle assessment of Hot Mix and Cold Mix technologies for Construction and Maintenance of Rural Roads
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Transport | Environment | Sustainable Habitat
The project aims to study these hot mix and CRRI-Bitchem cold mix technology applications for rural road construction and maintenance works in India in order to estimate and compare their life cycle cost, energy consumption, GHG and criteria pollutants generation, material consumption, impacts on safety and health of construction workers and population, road maintenance requirements, and projec
Mapping, identification of molecular markers associated with heat tolerance QTLs in tomato
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Sustainable Agriculture
Tomato is one of the most significant vegetable crops grown worldwide. However, important traits such as pollen meiosis, germination, ovule development, viability and development of the embryo and fruit set of most tomato cultivars are adversely affected under temperatures higher than 35°C. This leads to non-availability in certain months.
Engineering the Nodulation Signaling Pathway in Rice Plant
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Sustainable Agriculture
The study aims to engineer Nodulation signal perception mechanism in rice plant. This is a critical step in paving way for the development of N2-fixing symbiosis in this cereal crop to enable it to synthesise its own nitrogen fertiliser for its growth, akin to legumes.
Project STARs: Sustainable Tracking, Action and Reporting in Schools
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
Project STARs - a pioneering ESD project in the state of Goa explored the principles of sustainable development through the adoption of the 3C sustainable school concept. It was a three year project (2013-2016) jointly implemented by the Dempo Group of Companies, and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) across 10 schools in Goa.

December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Sustainable Habitat
Eco–city broadly means a human settlement modelled on the self–sustaining structure and functioning of natural ecosystems. It is developed on the lines of integrated urban planning and management programmes addressing social and ecological health of the city.
Development of Molecular Tools For Detecting Arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungi In The Environment
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Sustainable Agriculture
Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi (AMF) are vital components of the microbial soil community, forming the most commonly occurring underground network, probably the oldest and largest symbiotic association between the roots of more than 80% of all terrestrial plant species.
Air and Water Quality report of Maharashtra
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) regularly monitors the qualitative state of the water resources across the state as well as the air quality across various locations in the state. TERI has been extending support to the State Pollution Control Board in sorting and analyzing the data sets whilst developing graphical and spatial illustrations.
Developing a recycling plan for old solar PVs
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Energy
The project is to study challenges in the inter-connection of solar PV based microgrid with distribution grids and develop standardized architecture/road map to accelerate the solar PV based microgrid development in India and Develop a recycling plan for solar PV module and new battery technology used in microgrids applications.
Study on the future carbon market in India
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Energy Efficiency
The main objectives are to: • Organise a series of interviews with Indian CDM project participants TERI would arrange 5-6 meetings (online zoom) with Indian CDM project participants. Project participants would be nominated after consultation with IGES. • Analyse views on the future CDM market in India.
Learning platform for power sector utilities in India
December 27, 2017
| Ongoing project
The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), with the support of Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation (SSEF), has launched a Distribution Utilities Forum (DUF) that brings together various distribution utilities across India to a single platform and envisages taking up issues and challenges in the distribution sector towards enabling distribution reforms.
