Scope and Role of Natural Gas in Mitigating Industrial Air Pollution
September 6, 2021
| Air
Some of the main objective of this project are: 1. Study of existing emissions policies and regulations applicable for various industries and estimate the potential reduction in emissions (PM2.5, PM10, C02 SOX and NOX) due to replacement of solid (coal/pet coke) and liquid (FO, Diesel and LPG) fuels by Natural Gas (NG) in the identified polluted industrial areas/clusters. 2. Assessment of potential reduction in water and land pollution due to replacement of solid and liquid fuels by NG in the identified polluted industrial areas/clusters.

Opportunities, Risks and Governance for Deep Sea Mining in the Indo Pacific
July 1, 2021
| Water
Mineral resources in the Indo-Pacific represent a substantial opportunity to provide the materials required for economic development and the specialist minerals need for the energy transition. Licenses to extract minerals from Deep Sea Mining (DSM) to realise this opportunity are starting to be awarded in the Indo-Pacific. However, substantial risks exist if we do not increase the understanding of impacts upon the marine ecosystem in this nascent field.
Preparation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Policy on nomination basis
June 29, 2021
| Environment
Solid waste management (SWM) has become an issue of immediate importance in Goa, which is rapidly urbanizing. Many factors, such as waste amount and composition, awareness and attitudes of stakeholders, access to collection, institutions and legislations in place; that vary from place to place must be considered in the design of a SWM system. Single use plastic, in particular, is a grave problem in Goa, which is known as an international tourist destination.
