Sustainable energy in Micro-enterprises for Income and Livelihood Enhancement (SMILE) would aim to work with multiple of stakeholders, following an integrated approach, to identify and remove barriers, specifically for the micro and home-based enterprises. It would also work towards improvement of energy efficiency and adoption of RE energy, build capacity, help develop financial instruments, and establish linkages with financial institutions and facilitate deployment of energy-efficient RE technology for productive use specifically.
Reliable energy access has been a major challenge in remote rural area. The proposed intervention focuses on developing value chain for solar related products as well as forced draft biomass cookstove engaging women entrepreneurs in the state of Bihar. Use of efficient biomass stove will reduce the air pollution which will result in improvement of air quality in the proposed 5 districts of Bihar.
TERI with support of Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation (SSEF) is undertaking this research project to design and implement feasible business model for enhancing clean energy access and energy efficiency systems in micro enterprise clusters of Jharkhand.
Cities in developing countries and economies in transition struggle to develop effective waste management projects due to a range of financial barriers. These include limited awareness of financing options; lack of capacity to develop and execute contracts with the private sector; and limited access to certain types of financial support.
In Eastern India, the states of West Bengal and Jharkhand have a large number of energy intensive metallurgical and engineering clusters and industrial parks. Industries like foundry, forging, steel rolling, wire drawing, galvanizing and other mixed engineering units are concentrated in this region. In addition, with high growth expected for engineering goods over the next 10 years, large capital expenditure is being planned by new industries being set-up in up-coming industrial parks, like the Foundry Park in Howrah.
The detailed scope of work for consultancy services for demand forecasting, energy portfolio management (EPM) in BESCOM will be as follows;
The objective of this consultancy is to support the sustainable and inclusive economic development of rural areas in Papua New Guinea by increasing the use of renewable energy for selected end-users in East and West Sepik provinces.
Detailed task to be performed:
An Anniversary Update report titled ‘Practices and Solutions: Accelerating Indian Industry Decarbonisation’ was launched at a COP28 side event in the presence of Professor Jim Skea, Chair of the IPCC, and Indian Business Leaders.
The report has been prepared with inputs from the signatory companies of the ‘Industry Charter for Near Zero Emissions Ambition by 2050’, a voluntary grouping of leading Indian businesses. The Industry Charter was launched in 2019 at the New York Climate Week with leading Indian businesses committed to a reduction of emissions.
TERI will work with the IEA on an analytical report on the opportunities for clean energy transition policy synergies in India. Building upon the ‘IEA Energy sector air pollution and climate synergies in India Draft Issues Paper’ scoping report from April 2020, TERI shall bring expertise and provide comments to the IEA to refine technical analysis of specific clean energy transition policy integration synergies.
The TERI-KAS Energy dialogues would be a series of conferences that would deliberate on some major challenges and opportunities that are prevalent in Indian energy sector and its implications for the world.
