Exploring factors that enhance and restrict women's empowerment through electrification
May 2, 2015 to January 31, 2019
| Completed Project
| Energy Access
This project will examine the gender dimension of emerging electricity systems in East Africa and South Asia and their social effects. Through empirical investigation we will compare centralised (grid) and decentralised systems and also study how such systems work in parallel and/or complement each other.

Development of microbial process for in-situ generation/enhancement of methane from underground coal seams
April 1, 2015 to August 31, 2017
| Completed Project
| Microbes
The main objective of this project is to carry forward and upscale the work initiated by TERI for production of methane from coal through microbial intervention. The project aims at design, development and demonstration of an up-scaling protocol for a microbial consortium, already developed in the previous phase of the study, for enhancing methane recovery from coal.
Studies on Indoor Air Quality- Formaldehyde Monitoring in Indoor Environments of Tropical Climates
April 1, 2015 to October 31, 2015

Photobioreactor Design and Harvest Technology for Algal Biofuels
March 24, 2015 to March 31, 2018
| Completed Project
| Energy
An algal photobioreactor design, based on sunlight distribution, is being developed for 2-4 times improvement in areal productivity after initial tests. Harvesting microalgae has been a decisive barrier in the algal biofuel field. A process based on specific harvest features of algae and an in-situ collection mechanism in the growth system itself is being developed.
