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

Climate policy assessment and Mitigation Modeling to Integrate national and global Transition pathways for Environmental-friendly Development (COMMITTED)

November 27, 2023
| Energy Assessment and Modelling

With no singular pathway to fulfilling Paris Agreement and reaching globally agreed climate targets, the action intends to reinforce global climate change mitigation effort by supporting developing countries. This action builds on past and existing international cooperation and will seek to engage the most influential Asian/EU experts on models and modelling tools to increase domestic capacities on low-emission development scenarios modelling. As part of the study, socio-economic impact assessment (of decarbonization policies) is also proposed.

Digital Twin for Enhanced Electric Distribution Grid Operation and Management

| Energy
| Electricity and Renewables

A digital twin is a dynamic, real-time replica of the physical distribution grid. It brings together data from various sources to provide a comprehensive view of power flows, and grid behaviours. This project will be the first demonstration in India, at a useful scale, of applying cloud-based digital twin technology to an electrical distribution grid. The aim is to improve the reliability and cost-effectiveness of an emerging economy distribution network. The pilot is taking place in Delhi under the BRPL licensee region.

COOL IT FOR THE CLIMATE: Embracing Sustainable Cooling

November 17, 2023
| Energy Efficiency

In a world grappling with the escalating impacts of climate change, sustainable cooling practices have emerged as a critical area of focus. Refrigerators and air conditioners, two common household appliances, contribute significantly to global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Adoption of sustainable cooling habits among consumers is essential to mitigate the environmental impact of these appliances and ensure a more sustainable future.

Energy efficiency improvements among small and medium textile units in India

November 7, 2023
| Energy

A study on ‘energy efficiency improvements among small and medium scale textile units in India’ was carried out by TERI targeting the three major energy consuming sub-sectors within textile industry, namely spinning, weaving and wet processing. The study covered surveys/interviews of textile units and key stakeholders across five clusters: Ahmedabad, Bhiwandi, Coimbatore, Surat and Tirupur.

The priorities of the study were:

1) ensuring maximum impact in terms of energy savings (targeting the most relevant processes and improvement opportunities),
