TERI in collaboration with ONGC aims to achieve the following specific objectives: 1. To bring improved, clean, and affordable energy to identified secondary schools in Golaghat and Sibsagar through installation of a solar power plant in each school; 2. To improve the knowledge of the school authorities and children in solar energy and create a conducive atmosphere for learning and development of children; 3. To enhance ONGC's visibility in the region through appropriate branding and promotion of their CSR vision.
Consultancy Assignment to study “Economic Rate of Return for various Renewable Energy Technologies”
June 7, 2017
| Energy
| Environment
The project objective is to study the Economic Rate of Return (ERR) for various Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) in India. The study comprises determination of Financial Rate of Return (FRR) for various RETs (solar/wind/biomass/ small hydro etc.) based on primary research and estimation of ERR based on secondary research of socio-economic costs and benefits from each RET, e.g. savings in carbon emissions, local air pollution, avoided health impacts, employment generation etc.
Traffic and air quality in India: Technologies and attitudes (TAQIITA) (Indo-Finland collaborative project)
June 2, 2017
| Air
| Environment
Fine particulate matter is the pollutant of most concern in developing countries today on the basis of exposure, toxicity, and ambient concentrations. Two major contributors in transport to fine particulate air pollution are diesel vehicles and two-stroke engine gasoline vehicles. Due to strong motorization, India has become one of the biggest emitters of atmospheric pollutants. The country's fuel consumption in the transport sector has approximately doubled in every ten years since 1980.
