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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Considering India's dynamically changing energy use landscape and recent policy interventions to improve air quality, there is a need to update air pollution emission inventories
The project aims to study these hot mix and CRRI-Bitchem cold mix technology applications for rural road construction and maintenance works in India in order to estimate and compare their life cycle cost, energy consumption, GHG and criteria pollutants generation, material consumption, impacts on safety and health of construction workers and population, road maintenance requirements, and project implementation requirements.
