Ongoing Projects

Setting up of a Bio Methanation plant (TEAM process) 200 kg/day at NTPC-Farakka for the production of biogas and manure from organic solid waste

April 20, 2019

The main objective of this project is to install a solid waste treatment plant based on TERI's Enhanced Acidification and Methanation (TEAM) technology at NTPC Farakka. This plant would treat 200 kg of organic waste generated from the kitchens. TERI will supply the TEAM equipment, erect, and commission the plant. The biogas produced from the plant will be used for partial replacement of LPG in the kitchen; and the manure will be used for horticulture purposes.

Studies on thermal degradation of crop residues for kinetics, bio-polymeric transitions and value added products

April 1, 2019

The objective of the project is to study the thermal degradation kinetics of selected biomaterials during biomass gasification. It also aims to analyze, model, and validate at laboratory scale the time dependent thermal degradation processes in terms of temperature, biomaterial parameters, and the process output. Under this project, the process conditions for generation and extraction of different gaseous & residual substances from the crop residues will be properly defined and established.

Assist FISE Bangalore to implement the learning programme on 'Creating a Shared Framework and Roadmap to Adoption for Clean Cooking in India'

April 1, 2019

FISE in collaboration with the Tata Trusts Clean Cooking Alliance, Sambodhi Research, Nexleaf Analytics and 4 other implementation partners is leading this initiative. This initiative has been designed around the core understanding that unless there is sustained use and adoption of clean cooking solutions and subsequent reduction in the usage of traditional stoves in the household cooking stack, impacts on health and quality of life cannot be achieved.

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.
