Innovation and Demonstration of Technologies for Improved Production and Enhanced Shelf life of Tomato and Onion

November 23, 2015
| Ongoing project

The project is to increase the shelf life of tomato by increasing the storage capacity and to develop value added products through the agriculture and food process technology with emphasis on nutritional and technological quality.

Carry out microbial-influenced corrosion (MIC) and biotechnological intervention for its control in VSPL and KG Basin pipelines

October 1, 2015
| Ongoing project

Gas exploration is the major activity energizing human needs; however, it confronts operational hindrance and economic run-offs arising due to extremities such as deep dwelling sites (submarine; deep subterranean/subsurface) conditions.

Linking Climate and Development Policies - Leveraging International Networks and Knowledge Sharing (CD-LINKS)

August 13, 2015
| Ongoing project

Decision-makers throughout the world tend to prioritize societal objectives quite differently, depending on local and national circumstances (e.g., development stage, income inequality, exposure and vulnerability to impacts, fossil fuel resource endowment, energy trade balance, domestic food production).

Identification of elite mutants in Jatropha curcas using TILLING and Eco-TILLING

May 22, 2015
| Ongoing project

The aim of this project is to build technical capabilities for the identification of elite accessions using SNP discovery techniques such as TILLING and Eco-TILLING. These will be applied to identify and characterize rare mutations in Jatropha curcas from an artificially mutagenized population as well as natural germplasm.

Joint UNEP-UNIDO Programme to host and manage the Climate Technology Centre and Network

| Ongoing project

The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) has been established by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of Parties. It is the operational arm of UNFCCC Technology Mechanism.

Toxicity of nano particles against the earthworm and its potential as bio-transformation agent

December 1, 2014
| Ongoing project

Nano-particles in the range of 1-100 nm have been present on earth since its existence and have been used by mankind for thousands of years. Among various nanomaterials, the intense interest in the metallic nano-particles (MNPs) is due to their unique chemical and electronic properties arising from the small volume to big surface area ratio and the separation in the electronic energy level.

Biohydrogen production from second generation feedstock

November 1, 2014
| Ongoing project

Compared to other biofuels, bio-hydrogen holds the most attractive future energy carrier due to its high energy density, low energy input and higher conversion efficiency to usable power including its non-polluting nature.
