Aggregating DSM Opportunities Among Industrial Consumers at Utility Level for Low Carbon Growth
November 27, 2022
| Energy
Recognizing the enormous potential for DSM among industrial consumers, TERI, with support from MacArthur Foundation, undertook a study to explore the scope for aggregation of the DSM opportunities among SME industrial consumers in India. For the study, a partnership with the largest private sector power utility, Tata Power, was forged. About 100 SME customers were selected in consultation with Tata Power spread across Delhi, Ajmer, and Mumbai. The selection of the SMEs was followed by unit level energy assessment studies.

SHELL Project - Contribution to lowering GHG emissions from Agriculture
September 30, 2022
| Sustainable Agriculture
Developing Nano-Fertilizers and Mycorrhizal Biofertilizers to reduce the dose of chemical fertilizers by 25 to 50 per cent and supplementing the same with these innovative fertilizers. Shell India (Industry Partnership) is providing support for research and field trials on maize and direct seeded rice (DSR) for multiple seasons (Rabi and Kharif). Soil health is also being monitored (e.g. soil organic carbon and microbial population, etc.) in comparison with the recommended dose of fertilizers for developing suitable Package of Practices.
SHELL-TERI Strategic Research: Nano fertilizers and Mycorrhizal biofertilizers to develop Package of Practice by improving soil health and reducing GHG emission
September 5, 2022
| Sustainable Agriculture
Developing nano-fertilizers and mycorrhizal biofertilizers to reduce the dose of chemical fertilizers by 25 to 50 per cent and supplementing the same with these innovative fertilizers is the need of the hour. Shell India and TERI partnership aims to unveil complex genetic interactions involved in carbon and nitrogen metabolism during symbiotic associations to understand their role in establishing symbiosis, enhancing soil-organic carbon (SOC) and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from arable land.
ELEVATE- Enabling and leveraging climate Action Towards net zero Emissions
September 1, 2022
| Energy Assessment and Modelling
By 2025, countries are expected to produce new NDCs covering the post-2030 period, informed during the 2022-23 period by the 6th Assessment Report of the IPCC and the Paris Agreement Global Stocktake. Project results are anticipated to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: Provision of information for the preparation of climate policies and national planning for the post-2030 period, in light of the Paris Agreement goals and the need to reduce global net greenhouse emissions to zero by 2050.
Process Monitoring under Rejuvenating Watersheds for Agricultural Resilience through Innovative Development (REWARD) Project
August 15, 2022
| Land
The Watershed Development Department (WDD) of Karnataka is implementing the REWARD project with financial assistance from the World Bank. Currently being piloted in the states of Karnataka and Odisha, the project focuses on promoting climate-smart agriculture to bolster rural resilience. Initiated in 2021–22 and slated to continue through 2026–27, the initiative provides comprehensive solutions to farmers through scientific watershed development, encompassing production, processing, post-harvest management, and marketing.
Long term plastic flux monitoring and river assessment in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR)
August 11, 2022
| Waste
| Environment
While the usability of plastic in different spheres of the modern lifestyle such as automobiles, electronics and medical equipment cannot be done away completely, efforts to tackle plastic waste entering the marine environment are essential.
This calls for an assessment of the types and quantity of plastic waste entering water bodies which would also provide insights of consumer behavior with respect to plastic waste management.
