Pre Feasibility study for Solar PV plants in different states

May 3, 2010 to
November 15, 2010

The potential area identification is first and most important criterion for the success of any solar project. One of the clients is interested to put grid connected Solar PV plant (MW scale) of various capacities in different states. For this, broad solar radiation resource assessment is required to have go/no go decision. Second important thing is to analyze available center and different state level policies. In this project, potential areas (district level) were identified based on the solar radiation resource assessment in the selected states.

Non-energy use and CO2 emission - Phase III

October 15, 2004 to
November 5, 2010
The objectives are to (1) pool and analyse information on materials with completed pathways for production, use, and waste management such as solvents and lubricants; (2) draw conclusions about recommended activity indicators and emission factors based on comparative analyses; (3) create an increased awareness of the need for the harmonization of definitions of non-energy use in energy balances.

TERI-ITEC training program on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, 2008-09

August 1, 2008 to
November 3, 2010
This programme is one of the five courses being offered by TERI under the ITEC (Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation programme) /Special Commonwealth Assistance for Africa Programme (SCAAP) of the Government of India. This course, Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, will be held from 05 to 23 January 2009 for about 30 participants. The course aims to develop an understanding of existing and emerging renewable energy technologies, energy conservation and efficiency improvement techniques across various sectors.

Warming in the North East: developing adaptation strategies

March 10, 2008 to
November 2, 2010

The objective of the study is to undertake integrated impacts, vulnerability, and adaptation assessment of environmental degradation and climate change with respect to the water resources, forests, and livelihoods in the NER (north-eastern region) of India.

Climate change workshops with Journalism Students

November 8, 2009 to
October 31, 2010
Create awareness on climate change issues among the future journalists.

Scoping Study on Climate Change Induced Migration and its Security Implications in India''s Neighbourhood

February 16, 2009 to
October 31, 2010
This study seeks to throw light on the literature and stake holder perceptions on the linkage between climate change, migration and security in the Indian neighbourhood. While a lot has been written and said on the general linkage between climate change and security, and migration and security, relatively little has been written and said about the relationship between climate change induced migration and its security implications. Even less has been written and researched on this subject in the context of the Indian neighbourhood.

Patent pooling and access to knowledge: a case study of biotechnology

May 1, 2008 to
October 30, 2010
The main objective of this project is to assess the potential and feasibility for patent pooling to act as an effective mechanism to make biotechnology available in developing countries including its possible nature and institutional structure.

Study on local manufacaturing of Renewable Energy Technology Components in East Africa

December 2, 2009 to
October 28, 2010
This study should support the overall work of UNIDO in the area of Renewable Energy with a focus on two countries of East-Africa viz. Ethiopia and Uganda. The overall objective of this study will be to contribute towards strengthening the local manufacturing sector in East-Africa to produce renewable energy technologies and/or systems. The specific objective will be to identify, map, and prioritise components and/or systems for two renewable energy technologies over the short, medium and long term that could be manufactured in Ethiopia and Uganda.

Framework for cooperation for the identified MSME clusters and preparation of the project document

September 21, 2009 to
October 23, 2010
The specific objectives of the project preparation support activity are: (1) To prepare cluster-specific reports for all the 12 clusters pre-selected by UNIDO.

Alternative energy generation options in India

April 26, 2010 to
October 23, 2010
The study aims to examine electricity generating strategies in India, given the need to significantly reduce carbon intensity in response to climate change.Particular attention will be paid to non-coal based generation (such as solar, wind, geothermal and nuclear), and what is known about the technology trajectories, costs, carbon intensity, and job creation possibilities associated with each; as well as the role of the state in developing and implementing such strategies.
