The role of emission trading in climate policy

January 15, 2005 to
February 23, 2008
The objective of this project is to support design and implementation of emission trading within the evolving climate regime of Sweden, the European Community, and the larger global community. The focus would be on issues related to globalizing emission trading, including linkages and barriers between the different emission trading schemes and markets, opportunities and risks for developing countries, equity issues/north-south conflicts, and aspects on expanding the market in 2008 and 2013.

Development of legal and policy framework for renewable resource-based electricity generation - Sri Lanka

September 15, 2004 to
February 23, 2008

In this emerging reform environment and the prospect of a rapidly growing renewable energy industry, the Government of Sri Lanka is keen to establish a policy framework that enables the sustained and rational growth of renewable energy services in Sri Lanka. The objective of the assignment is to develop a national policy framework for renewable resource based electricity generation that addresses the following key areas: (i) energy policy, (ii) regulation, (iii) legal issues and (iv) commercial issues including tariffs and subsidies.

Field validation and product formulation of AMF bio inoculant with particular reference to low-input wheat-rice and wheat-pulse cropping systems

May 1, 2005 to
February 23, 2008
The objectives are: (1) Maintenance of gene pools of AMF for their further exploitation. Parallel task will be undertaken by GBPUAT for PGPR. (2) Development of axenic in vitro cultures of LL2 and ZTL isolates, which are the most-efficient AMF isolates selected from already conducted field trials, microcosms, in vitro and trap cultures. (3) Developing understanding on synergistic and/or antagonistic interactions between AMF and PGPR for their application in fields. (4) Development of formulation package of bio inoculants for their application in fields.

Impact of Climate Change on Diarrhoeal Diseases in India: Phase I Study

August 1, 2007 to
February 23, 2008
The study involves both quantitative and qualitative approaches. In the quantitative analysis, a time-series ecological study would be done with the pilot study sites serving as the unit of population. Regression analysis would be utilized for the years 1955-2005 to identify probable trends specific to the region.

Climate Resilient Development and Adaptation: India

May 21, 2007 to
January 31, 2008
This project includes development of a GEF/ UNDP FSP project fostering launch of an integrated program of pilot implementation, documentation, and capacity activities designed to support adaptation to climate change. The approach will develop strategies for responding to a combination of gradual change and the extreme climatic events anticipated as a result of climate change.

Development and testing of low cost membrane filters from biomass ash for clean up of producer gas for gasifier-based power plants

March 31, 2003 to
January 31, 2008
The project proposes to develop membrane filters using biomass fly ash as the starting material for high temperatures particulate removal from producer gas for power-generation application. Biomass ash from gasification of rice husk, bagasse, and other available biomass sources will be characterized and selected for membrane filter preparation. Membrane filters will be made using the technique of tape casting and sintering. Their particulate removal characteristics will be evaluated.

Third Party Water Assessment

September 18, 2006 to
January 23, 2008
The scope of work is to undertake an independent assessment of Coca Cola (India)''s current water resources management practices. While doing so, the evaluation will also seek to ascertain the impact of pesticides on the quality of the intake water, if any, as well as the processes followed in ensuring quality by treating intake water during production of finished product.
