Comparative LCA Between Powertrain Components of ICE Vehicles Versus EVs
August 9, 2023
| Transport
| Resources & Sustainable Development
| Energy
Manufacture, promotion and adoption of EVs seem to be one of the top priorities of government all across the world including India when it comes to green measures. The aim of this project is to quantify the benefits associated with such a switch compared to the traditional option of using ICE vehicle powertrain and fuel in Indian roads. The upstream manufacturing of EVs is both resource and energy intensive while there is also an inflexion point beyond which EVs have to be driven to become environmentally competitive with ICE vehicles.
Sustainability Assessment of Vehicle Fuel

| Transport
| Resources & Sustainable Development
In a scenario where India is actively pursuing green energy, the objective is to realize the full potential of biogas as a vehicular fuel. Biogas has multiple benefits in the Indian context in terms of energy efficiency, raw material availability, affordable mobility and rural mobility penetration, waste management, as well as several social-economic benefits that come with its usage.

The Environment Education and Awareness (EEA) Area at The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) has designed a summer programme that enables school students to gain knowledge, enhance their skillsets and obtain access to resources and networks to strengthen their competencies on issues related to environment and sustainable development. Technical sessions by subject experts, hands-on training, internship opportunity and mentoring on sustainability-linked topics are some of the key activities curated within this holistic programme.
Roadmap for India's Energy Transition in the Transport Sector
April 4, 2023
| Energy
| Transport
Transportation plays a pivotal role in the economic an social development of a country, carrying men and materials, such as- carriage of raw material and finished product; minerals; food and other essential products; and services, opening new avenues of employment opportunities. The main sources of energy for transport are diesel and petrol; alternative fuel technologies are relatively more expensive for an extensive use. Both cost and availability of alternative fuels have been a significant factor in the unprecedented growth of petroleum product demand for the transport sector.
Preparing Roadmap for Fleet Electrification of Department of Posts, India and Estimating Potential Cost and Emission Benefits
February 1, 2023
| Transport
At the COP 26 Climate Summit in Glasgow, India set an ambitious target of attaining net-zero emissions by 2070 and a 45% reduction in the emissions intensity of its GDP below the 2005 levels by 2030. The transport sector holds responsible for 14 percent of energy-related CO2 emissions, and it also accounts for 70 percent of total diesel consumption and 100 percent of gasoline consumption.[1]
Transformative Climate Action using Participatory data driven decision making platforms (T-CAP)
December 26, 2022
| Cities
India is undergoing rapid urbanization, with its urban population expected to surpass its rural population by 2031. This process has been accompanied by a gamut of social, economic, and environmental changes, including increased greenhouse gas emissions and the potential for greater vulnerability to the impacts of climate change. One of the main challenges Indian cities are facing as they grapple with adversities is the need to adapt to extreme weather events. These events can have significant impacts on public health, economic productivity, and infrastructure.
Baseline Study for Non-Urban Road Transport
August 4, 2022
| Transport
TERI is undertaking a baseline study for the Indian non-urban road freight transport. As part of the study, TERI aims to identify major carriers, develop a methodology for data collection and validation, and establish key requirements for implementing an efficiency improvement program in the future.
EV planning and capacity assessment
February 14, 2022
| Transport
The main objectives of this project are:
To understand the current status and readiness of cities towards EV ecosystem planning;
To explore the institutional, operational and financial capacities of cities for EV planning and deployment.
Scoping project: design of India-UK E-mobility accelerator awareness campaign
December 3, 2021
| Transport
The purpose of the project is to work on a scoping project to design UK-India Electric Mobility Accelerator Awareness Campaign which can support delivery of India's ambition on adoption of electric mobility, thereby contributing to cleaner air in cities, achieving energy security and creating new jobs both in India and in the UK.
