Just Transition: Understanding the implications of moving away from coal

August 1, 2021
| Energy

It is the need of the hour to take a closer look at the fossil-fuel economy, environment, people, market opportunities and other players/stakeholders. An action research agenda in the coal producing belts could create a ground for further reflection and trigger a futuristic worldview that envisages greater inclusion and equity. While transitioning to the envisaged non-fossil fuel economy in time, it is crucial to map implications of coal phase-out and create a blueprint for a proactive planning and an inclusive, fair and humane transition.

India Development Partnership Activity (IDPA) - Diagnostic Study to Augment Triangular Cooperation (India-US-partner country) in Renewable Energy (RE)

May 20, 2021

The project aims to work out a framework for Triangular Cooperation (India-US-partner country) in Renewable Energy (RE) in the Indo-Asiatic region. It will study the ongoing cooperation efforts with selected 3-4 countries, map India's strengths in supporting RE development in the selected countries and finally suggest a framework for the same.

Cluster mapping of secondary steel sector in India and identification of minimum 2 clusters per sub sector for further deep dive activities

May 5, 2021
| Energy Efficiency

A data analysis of secondary steel sub-sectors at cluster level will be carried out to assess the energy consumption of the sector. The secondary steel sub-sectors covered under the study include foundry, forging, steel re-rolling, sponge iron, electric arc furnace and electric induction furnace. The project will identify potential clusters in each sub sector for deep diving activities by developing a selection matrix.

Supporting clean energy adoption in Rural India

TERI has installed around 25000 cookstoves in Bihar. From the use of these stoves, carbon credits are being generated. TERI with the support from VNV Advisory Services are able to sell these carbon credits and generate revenue. The same fund is being utilized for maintenance and replacement of cookstove and other components in Bihar engaging the women energy entrepreneurs. TERI has been setting up women energy enterprises who are being engaged in maintenance and servicing of cookstoves in different districts of Bihar.
