Banana fiber extraction by mycogenic pectinase and surface modification through laccase enzymes thereafter - an eco-friendly approach

March 22, 2018
| Microbes

Enzymatic retting and processing of banana fibers with mycogenic pectinase supported by standardization of effective surface modification treatments parameter through mycogenic laccase enzymes will results in solution of simple processing and their utilization perspective as renewable fiber sources to open the ways for industrial areas of uses.

NAMA - GIZ - pilot implementation of India's Forestry NAMA in Assam

January 18, 2018
| Forest & Biodiversity

The proposed initiative aims to enhance carbon sequestration and to reduce pressure on forests from unsustainable collection of fuelwood through sustainable fuel wood management, deployment of energy efficient technologies and alternative fuel in select districts of Assam.

| Air

Kaniha Open Cast Coal mine is located in Talcher coalfields of Odisha in the District Angul and is being operated by Mahanadi Coalfields Limited, which is a subsidiary of Coal India Limited. Mining Lease Area of the Kaniha Opencast Coal mine is 718 ha with production capacity of 14 million ton per annum.

Development of High Resolution, Dynamic Regional Emissions Inventory for Delhi National Capital Region

December 27, 2017
| Air

Air pollution in the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR) remains a critical challenge to public health and environmental sustainability. With particulate matter (PM) levels often exceeding national standards by up to four times, there is an urgent need for precise, actionable data.

Process Monitoring under Rejuvenating Watersheds for Agricultural Resilience through Innovative Development (REWARD) Project

December 27, 2017
| Land

The REWARD project by the Watershed Development Department of Karnataka, supported by the World Bank, promotes climate-smart agriculture through scientific watershed development. Launched in 2021–22 and running until 2026–27, it covers 20 lakh hectares across 21 districts, with focused interventions on 1 lakh hectares. The project integrates production, processing, post-harvest management, and marketing while supporting landless individuals and women.

MEOR: Recovering Oil from Stripper Wells

December 27, 2017
| Microbes

Ageing oil wells are a growing challenge for the global oil industry. As reservoirs deplete, declining pressure reduces oil flow, leaving many wells classified as stripper wells, low-producing assets nearing the end of their economic life. Despite this, substantial residual oil remains trapped in these reservoirs. Conventional recovery methods are costly (USD 140,000–200,000 per well) and increasingly ineffective at higher depths and temperatures.

Afforestation/Reforestation Clean Development Mechanism study under Uttar Pradesh Participatory Forest Management and Poverty Alleviation Project

December 27, 2017
| Forest & Biodiversity

Under this study, TERI is preparing Afforestation/Reforestation Clean Development Mechanism (A/R CDM) projects in the areas under UP Participatory Forest Management and Poverty Alleviation Project (UPPFMPAP - http://www.uppfmpap.org/), which is under implementation in the 20 forest divisions spread over 14 districts of the state of Uttar Pradesh.

Assessing the co-benefits of a low carbon development pathway for India

December 27, 2017
| Air

The objective of the project is to estimate co-benefits of the GHG mitigation strategies on air quality, human health and agricultural productivity. This calls for the following: a) Preparation of high-resolution emission inventory based on energy modelling results of the MARKAL/TIMES model for the policy scenarios developed under the on-going WRI/TERI study. b) Carrying out meteorological and air quality simulations to predict Particulate Matter (PM) and Ozone concentrations across the study domain for current and future time scales
