Developing energy efficient technology compendium for Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) sector

September 1, 2017

| Energy Efficiency

The project aims to (1) Conduct energy audit of six EAF units (2) Develop a technology package compendium 'Energy efficient technology packages for electric arc furnace', and (3) Develop a booklet 'Ready reckoner on energy efficient technology packages for electric arc furnace'.

Capacity building of LSPs under GEF-UNIDO-BEE project in Ceramic and Dairy sectors

September 1, 2017

| Energy

The aim of the project is to develop and promote a market environment for introducing energy inefficiencies and enhanced use of renewable energy technologies in process applications in 12 selected energy-intensive MSME clusters in India with expansion to more clusters later. This is to improve the productivity and competitiveness of units, as well as to reduce overall carbon emissions and improve the local environment.

August 1, 2017

| Energy

| Energy Access

This research and innovation programme will deliver new technologies and robust evidence on the critical barriers hampering systemic change and scaling up energy access, working with Southern researchers and entrepreneurs, to drive locally relevant innovation and delivery. This will have a transformative impact on deploying renewable energy solutions in developing countries, especially in South Asia and Africa.

Development of sludge free, clean, green and cost-effective technology at bench-scale for treatment of textile and dyeing industry effluent

July 18, 2017

| Waste

| Environment

The main objectives of this project are: 1. To develop a bench scale photocatalytic reactor (PCR) specifically targeting such organic dyes which are in dissolved state, highly toxic, recalcitrant/non-biodegradable in nature and constitution, present in the effluent of textile & dyeing Industry.

Development of polyolefin composites loaded with co-microencapsulated intumescent fire retardant system along with nanosized wear resistant additives

July 17, 2017

In this study a high temperature charring agent i.e. propane terephthalamide will be synthesized. This will be co-micro encapsulated with APP in melamine-formaldehyde resin. The microcapsules thus developed will be blended along with nanosized silicon nitride in LLDPE, PP, LDPE and HDPE. The microcapsules will enhance the fire retardancy. Thus, the developed blend will have effective fire retardancy.
