Microalgae for Sustainable Animal Nutrition
TERI is harnessing the potential of microalgae to revolutionize animal nutrition, addressing the escalating demand for sustainable feed alternatives in poultry, aquaculture, and cattle rearing. Our research focuses on naturally resilient strains isolated from mangrove ecosystems.
Post-Green Revolution Challenges
Fifty years after the Green Revolution, India is navigating "second-generation" agricultural challenges. Intensive, inorganic chemical-based farming has led to a decline in crop productivity, deteriorating soil health, and a loss of soil organic carbon.
The Hon'ble High Court of Madras, through its order dated 10.01.2025 in WP Nos. 27356 and 28266 of 2022 and WMP Nos. 13292, 13294, 35572, and 3700 of 2024 have directed the concerned authorities to take prompt and decisive action regarding environmental violations.
The Green Ports Rating Framework and ESG-Based Reporting for Ports project has been undertaken to support India’s maritime sector in its transition toward sustainable, resilient, and environmentally responsible port operations.
The Shore-to-Ship Power (SPS) Business Model project focuses on developing a scalable, techno-economically viable, and policy-relevant framework for implementing SPS systems across major Indian ports. SPS enables berthed vessels to shift from fossil-fuel-based auxiliary diesel generators to grid electricity, resulting in significant reductions in fuel costs and emissions.
The National Green Shipping Policy (NGSP) is an ongoing initiative led by the National Centre of Excellence for Green Ports and Shipping (NCoEGPS) to develop a comprehensive and forward-looking policy framework for India’s maritime sector.
India has operationalized the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS), notified in June 2023 under the Energy Conservation (Amendment) Act, 2022, establishing a domestic carbon market that builds on the earlier Perform, Achieve, and Trade (PAT) framework.
India, the world’s third-largest energy consumer, relies on fossil fuels for about 80 per cent of its energy needs, with coal dominating electricity generation (70 per cent) and expected to grow further despite renewable expansion targets. At the same time, India has committed to significant decarbonization goals, including a 47 per cent reduction in emissions intensity by 2035.
