| Energy

Global warming is significantly altering precipitation patterns, making wet regions wetter and increasing aridity in dry areas. This research project investigates the impacts of Solar Radiation Modification (SRM) specifically Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) on monsoon systems. By utilizing high-resolution climate models, we aim to provide a detailed understanding of how cooling the planet might modulate the fundamental physical drivers of extreme weather.

Mission for High Impact Areas (MAHA): Advancing EV Mobility in India

The Mission for High Impact Areas (MAHA) program, under the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF), is a priority-driven initiative designed to address urgent scientific and technological challenges through targeted, high-impact solutions. Unlike general research mandates, MAHA fosters a collaborative ecosystem, bringing together researchers and academicians from diverse fields to leverage collective expertise, drive innovation, and deliver tangible results.

Decarbonizing Industries in India: A Holistic Approach for Industry Transition

April 1, 2024

| Energy Efficiency

The objective of the project is to accelerate transition of Indian industry sector to a low carbon pathway by an integrated approach which focuses on decarbonizing the energy intensive industries (steel, cement) including associated value chains.

Solar-biomass hybrid dryer with thermal energy storage

March 5, 2024

| Energy

TERI has developed Solar-biomass hybrid dryer with thermal energy storage for rural tribal communities, women and differently-abled persons. The integrated system has a Thermal Energy Storage (TES) device and a Biomass-based Heat Exchange (B-HE) system. These components are integrated with a solar dryer developed by SEED for continuous operation and efficient utilization of the hybrid system in food drying and increasing the capacity utilization factor of the system.

Long-term Energy Transition: An Integrated Modelling Approach for Indian Economy (ICEMF)

January 19, 2024

| Energy Assessment and Modelling

| Energy

To develop an energy-economy inter-linked decarbonization roadmap for India for its short (2030), medium (2047), and long (2070) term. An integrated energy-climate-economy modelling framework will be developed for simulating the impacts of exogenous circumstances, global climate policies, national policies, and technology development on India’s energy supply and demand, GHG emissions, and impacts on policy relevant macroeconomic variables.

Pumped Storage Plants - Essential for India's Energy Transition

January 15, 2024

Pumped Storage Hydropower is a mature and proven technology and operational experience is also available in the country. CEA has estimated the on-river pumped storage hydro potential in India to be about 103 GW. Out of 4.75 GW of pumped storage plants installed in the country, 3.3 GW are working in pumping mode, and about 44.5 GW projects are at various stages of development.
