HAREDA had issued a notification to incorporate energy efficient building features in all new Goverment sector buildings from 30th June, 2006. HAREDA has approached TERI to organise an orientation programme to equip the architects and engineers with the tools and technologies of energy efficient buildings.
The Forestry and Biodiversity Group of TERI has been awarded the consultancy by the Ministry of Agriculture, Govt. of India, to conduct a mid-term evaluation of watershed development activities under the National Watershed Development Project for Rainfed Areas (NWDPRA) programme during the tenth five year plan.
TERI is involved with the Monitoring, Evaluation and Impact assessment under the UNDP-CCF-II, the afore-cited project is being implemented with the following objectives:- 1) Provide renewable energy for meeting cooking, lighting and motive power needs leading to additional income generation activities to enable the villages to cross the poverty line.
Under this project, TERI would collaborate with HPCL for carrying out a feasibility study for Jatropha based biodiesel production in the states of Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. The study would take into account, the policy environment in terms of not only the policy initiatives of the GoI, but also the policy initiatives adopted by the respective state govts.
· To develop intensive green cover in order to achieve higher transpiration rate. · Use of efficient microorganisms for sustainable plant growth and nutrient mobilization and their availability to plants. · Assessment on loading of effluent (primary treated) in created furrows at site. · Demonstration of fully operational model with effluent management and greening.
At Gleneagles in July 2005, the G8 highlighted the importance of strengthening technology cooperation to develop low carbon energy options. Many developing countries pressed for a new approach to international cooperation in the area of clean energy technologies.
Myanmar is committed toenhance the social and economic lives of its rural people within the context of environmental restoration and greening on a sustainable basis. Towards this end, it is considered to set up the biomass gasifier system for supplying electricity for various applications, including pumping of water in rural areas.
