Barauni refinery is located in the eastern part of the country and generate oily sludge containing various hazardous petroleum hydrocarbons. The aim of project is bioremediation of 5000 MT (million tonnes) of oily sludge by using Oilivorous-S. The total 5000 MT oily sludge would be treated in four batches.
The variations in the monsoon pattern as well as the competitive pressures due to globalisation have placed Indian farmers under greater stress. In this context, the issue of pricing power to agriculture has assumed enormous significance particularly when seen in light of the poor economic status of the farmers.
The objectives are to (1) pool and analyse information on materials with completed pathways for production, use, and waste management such as solvents and lubricants; (2) draw conclusions about recommended activity indicators and emission factors based on comparative analyses; (3) create an increased awareness of the need for the harmonization of definitions of non-energy use in energy balances.
The objective of the project is to build capacities of PRIs (Panchayati Raj Institutions) for promotion of energy efficiency, supply, and conservation in the rural areas. The focus would be on building their (PRIs) capacities to assess and plan for energy needs of communities and supervise and manage rural energy projects.
The objectives are (1) to map out the existing lighting infrastructure in selected locations in Dwarka, (2) to assess the efficiencies of existing lighting systems in these locations, (3) to identify options for improving lighting system efficiencies, (4) to recommend appropriate technologies based on their cost-effectiveness in the context of replicability in Dwarka.
The project focuses on undertaking three case studies in different agro-climatic zones, such as Uttaranchal, Jharkhand, and Karnataka, for the development of a common framework through which the local variation/nuances in energy planning, energy access, and use at the regional/micro level can be factored into the national planning process.
TERI launched a project Commercialization of renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies in rural India, funded by British High Commission, to create a sustainable market for solar photovoltaic technologies in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat.
India is a water-stressed country and by the year 2025, it might fall in the category of water-scarce countries (Ministry of Water Resources, 2004). According to the World Health Organization, almost two-thirds of the global population without access to improved and safe water supply lives in Asia. Of this, about 25% live in India.
The representative sample size for estimating energy losses would be finalized mutually between TERI and CESC Ltd. As per the scope, the following sample size has been agreed. (1) All 132-kV systems up to and including 33/6 kV system of CESC. (2) Twenty-four outgoing 11/6 kV feeders and all 6/0.4 kV transformers on the identified feeders. (3) Twenty distribution transformers.
