Low Carbon Pathways for Madhya Pradesh
August 4, 2023
| Energy
TERI carried out a study on decarbonization pathways for the power sector in the state of Madhya Pradesh. The primary aim of this study is to assess the future capacity and generation portfolio in the state of Madhya Pradesh in the short and medium term—2025 and 2030—to meet the anticipated demand profile. The study provides an assessment of key aspects such as (a) the degree of VRE generation which can be integrated with the state grid, (b) system costs, and (c) the impact on the operation of the coal fleet.
The study brings out the following impressions:

| Energy
| Transport
Transportation plays a pivotal role in the economic an social development of a country, carrying men and materials, such as- carriage of raw material and finished product; minerals; food and other essential products; and services, opening new avenues of employment opportunities. The main sources of energy for transport are diesel and petrol; alternative fuel technologies are relatively more expensive for an extensive use. Both cost and availability of alternative fuels have been a significant factor in the unprecedented growth of petroleum product demand for the transport sector.
UI-ASSIST (US-India collAborative for smart diStribution System wIth Storage)

| Climate Change
Indoor air pollution is a critical issue in rural areas. The use of biomass in the traditional household cookstove of the rural areas is also an important source of atmospheric black carbon. Conventional cooking methods have also been reported as important source of ambient air pollution in different cities. Promoting cleaner fuels like LPG to remote rural areas has different issues. In West Bengal, many rural households still depend on cooking in traditional cookstoves using locally available biomass materials.
Aggregating DSM Opportunities Among Industrial Consumers at Utility Level for Low Carbon Growth
November 27, 2022
| Energy
Recognizing the enormous potential for DSM among industrial consumers, TERI, with support from MacArthur Foundation, undertook a study to explore the scope for aggregation of the DSM opportunities among SME industrial consumers in India. For the study, a partnership with the largest private sector power utility, Tata Power, was forged. About 100 SME customers were selected in consultation with Tata Power spread across Delhi, Ajmer, and Mumbai. The selection of the SMEs was followed by unit level energy assessment studies.
ELEVATE- Enabling and leveraging climate Action Towards net zero Emissions
September 1, 2022
| Energy Assessment and Modelling
By 2025, countries are expected to produce new NDCs covering the post-2030 period, informed during the 2022-23 period by the 6th Assessment Report of the IPCC and the Paris Agreement Global Stocktake. Project results are anticipated to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: Provision of information for the preparation of climate policies and national planning for the post-2030 period, in light of the Paris Agreement goals and the need to reduce global net greenhouse emissions to zero by 2050.
