Completed Projects
Development of bio-oil-based cooking stoves
January 21, 2006 to
April 8, 2011
TERI has under taken this project with the following objective of : 1. Performance study of using bio-oil in pure and different blend in the existing stoves 2. Modification of the existing stoves to suits the use of bio-oil or blend with kerosene. The scope of work involed identifying power output, specific fuel consumption, preliminary emission measurements. The target group is rural community and devices considered are for rural kitchen. It is estimated that nearly 2930 million litres ofkreosene is being used as cooking fuel.Rural Household Air Pollutants: Strategies and Programmes
April 27, 2009 to
April 6, 2011
Biomass accounts for more than 80% of domestic cooking in India. The combustion of biomass fuels produces a large number of air pollutants including nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), Sulphur dioxide (SO2), respirable particulate, formaldehyde and benzene.This project will assess knowledge, attitude and practices related to cooking fuel, Monitor levels of air pollutants in the cooking area, and
assess the feasibility of possible interventions for the community in Ballabgarh.
Toyota Asian Ozone project

April 6, 2011
The international collaborative project, supported by Toyota Motor corporation, focuses on the need to achieve economic growth by meeting the energy needs while ensuring at the same time that environmental issues such as ozone pollution are adequately addressed. Under this project on air quality improvement, TERI would develop energy scenarios, calculate the emission inventory and carry out 3-D air quality simulation (for ozone and particulate matter) using CMAQ model and finally develop alternative energy and emission scenarios.Environmental Status Report and estimation of Carbon footprint for Pune City

Adaptation economics calculated
February 1, 2009 to
March 31, 2011
The aim is to improve the methodology for estimating the costs of adapting to climate change and to apply it to estimate these costs for India. Issues to be addressed in making such estimates are:1/ Getting better estimates of the impacts of climate change on individuals;
2/ Allowing for autonomous adaptation to climate change;
3/ Allowing for costs of adjustment to climate change;
4/ Allowing for the impacts of general development on the costs of adaptation;
5/ How to allow for increased uncertainty about future impacts in terms of the costs it generates;
