Investment prospects in concentrating solar power projects in India

April 1, 2009 to
March 31, 2010
The broad overarching objective of the study will be to identify key areas of interest that along with contributing to sustainable development will provide solutions to financial institutions to undertake mitigation and adaptation as a business case. Although, the association with HSBC will continue for a three-year period, the scope of the work outlined in this work plan has been limited to one year.

Study of Transport System in a Low Carbon Society

July 1, 2009 to
March 31, 2010
As part of the ITPS Study of Transport Sytem in Low Carbon Society, TERI is evaluating the different kinds of measures that could be taken so that the aggregate amount of CO2 emissions from all transport modes in India increase by the smallest possible quantity by 2050. TERI is building a model for measuring CO2 emissions from all transport modes in India by constructing different scenarios based on different images of the future and policy packages in order to reduce the emissions.

Conclave at WFES- Climate change and buildings Conclave at World Future Energy Summit, Abu Dhabi- Climate change and buildings
<br>

January 17, 2010 to
March 17, 2010
It is widely recognized that buildings are responsible for more than one-third of total energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions globally. The building sector can contribute to mitigating impacts of climate change by delivering significant greenhouse gas emission reductions; and energy, resource, and cost savings through action oriented policy initiatives.

Possible Impacts of relatively severe climate change
<br>

September 1, 2008 to
March 16, 2010
A1Fi storylines looks into the higher range of emissions and therefore relates to severe impacts. This study seeks to carry out an assessment of these impacts over North India and seeks to suggest measures that help close the feedback loops.

Income generation activity for SHG women in rural areas through conservation of biomass and promotion of Biomass Gas Stoves (BGS's) for small commercial applications

November 10, 2008 to
March 4, 2010
The major goal of the project is to promote fuel efficient energy devices in rural sector. We proposed two major approaches: i) promotion of BGS for small enterprises in rural areas; and ii) involving Self Help Groups (SHGs) for cutting and supplying sized biomass to the BGSs.

Third Indo-Japan Energy Forum

December 1, 2009 to
