Ongoing Projects
Integrated domestic energy systems in rural communities in India through carbon finance
April 1, 2019
The project involves providing access to clean and affordable cooking energy services in various states of India through dissemination of improved, energy-efficient forced draft technology based biomass cookstoves. Under this project the traditional /non-efficient biomass cookstoves will be replaced using carbon finance generated through the use of cookstove.
Solar-biomass hybrid dryer with thermal energy storage
March 5, 2019
| 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.
