Transforming Energy Access in South Asia and Africa towards renewable
August 1, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Energy | Energy Access
This research and innovation programme will deliver new technologies and robust evidence on the critical barriers hampering systemic change and scaling up energy access, working with Southern researchers and entrepreneurs, to drive locally relevant innovation and delivery.
Development of sludge free, clean, green and cost-effective technology at bench-scale for treatment of textile and dyeing industry effluent
July 18, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Waste | Environment
The main objectives of this project are: 1. To develop a bench scale photocatalytic reactor (PCR) specifically targeting such organic dyes which are in dissolved state, highly toxic, recalcitrant/non-biodegradable in nature and constitution, present in the effluent of textile & dyeing Industry.
Development of polyolefin composites loaded with co-microencapsulated intumescent fire retardant system along with nanosized wear resistant additives
July 17, 2017
| Ongoing project
In this study a high temperature charring agent i.e. propane terephthalamide will be synthesized. This will be co-micro encapsulated with APP in melamine-formaldehyde resin. The microcapsules thus developed will be blended along with nanosized silicon nitride in LLDPE, PP, LDPE and HDPE. The microcapsules will enhance the fire retardancy.

This Assignment will involve following two components: (i) Designing of a new Market Based Mechanism (MBM) with the following key steps: (a) Baseline assessments and setting the scope; (b) Determining and setting mitigation targets along with time-frame; (c) Ensuring market stability through design features like a price collar; (d) Setting up an oversight and compliance mechanism to enforce the
Strengthening Non-state Climate Action in the Global South
July 1, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Climate Change | Environment
This project aims to fill two crucial gaps in the world's response to climate change by generating an evidence base to expand the participation and leadership of climate action by cities, companies, civil society groups, and other sub/non-state actors in the Global South, as well as the effectiveness of such action.

Replacing kerosene for solar in households for lighting
June 30, 2017
| Ongoing project
| Energy Access
The project aims to develop a business case for redirecting / re-routing kerosene subsidies in India towards the solar product value chain, and in essence, to replace the use of kerosene for basic lighting at the household level by making comparable solar based lighting alternatives available and affordable.
