Traffic and air quality in India: Technologies and attitudes (TAQIITA) (Indo-Finland collaborative project)
June 2, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Air | Environment
Fine particulate matter is the pollutant of most concern in developing countries today on the basis of exposure, toxicity, and ambient concentrations. Two major contributors in transport to fine particulate air pollution are diesel vehicles and two-stroke engine gasoline vehicles. Due to strong motorization, India has become one of the biggest emitters of atmospheric pollutants.

Cleaning up our rivers
May 26, 2017
| Ongoing project
India is blessed with 14 major, 55 minor and numerous small rivers. However, many of these rivers are polluted due to disposal of sewage into these water bodies. There is no sign of river pollution being stopped. It is increasing day by day. There are several sources of water pollution, which deteriorate the river water quality. Industries discharge their liquid waste products into rivers.
BIGASTORE: Biogas driven cold storages for Sub Zero applications in India
May 22, 2017
| Ongoing project
The objective of the proposed project is to design and engineer cold storage container using bio-waste as energy source. Using bio-waste as energy source reduces high losses in food production and storage that is caused due to missing cold storage and cooling chains in developing and emerging countries.
