Independent assessment of waste management in municipal corporations of Delhi
June 16, 2019
| Ongoing project
| Waste
A waste-to-energy (WTE) plant is a concept that is now being widely considered, which uses the segregated waste in order to gen
Setting up of a Bio Methanation plant (TEAM process) 200 kg/day at NTPC-Farakka for the production of biogas and manure from organic solid waste
April 20, 2019
| Ongoing project
The main objective of this project is to install a solid waste treatment plant based on TERI's Enhanced Acidification and Methanation (TEAM) technology at NTPC Farakka. This plant would treat 200 kg of organic waste generated from the kitchens. TERI will supply the TEAM equipment, erect, and commission the plant.
Studies on thermal degradation of crop residues for kinetics, bio-polymeric transitions and value added products
April 1, 2019
| Ongoing project
The objective of the project is to study the thermal degradation kinetics of selected biomaterials during biomass gasification. It also aims to analyze, model, and validate at laboratory scale the time dependent thermal degradation processes in terms of temperature, biomaterial parameters, and the process output.
Integrated domestic energy systems in rural communities in India through carbon finance
April 1, 2019
| Ongoing project
Assist FISE Bangalore to implement the learning programme on 'Creating a Shared Framework and Roadmap to Adoption for Clean Cooking in India'
April 1, 2019
| Ongoing project
FISE in collaboration with the Tata Trusts Clean Cooking Alliance, Sambodhi Research, Nexleaf Analytics and 4 other implementation partners is leading this initiative.
An assessment of socio-economic impacts due to melt water variability in Himalayan States
March 28, 2019
| Ongoing project
| Water | Climate Change
Studies linking the impacts of climate change on glaciers and meltwater availability, and associated impacts on livelihood of local communities are missing. This makes it difficult to understand the real impacts of glacier melting on local livelihood except oft quoted statements about the dependence of downstream communities.
Smart/bioactivated nano-probes for extraction and characterization of bioactive compounds from marine resources: macro and micro algae
March 22, 2019
| Ongoing project
The main objectives of this project are to: (1) Design of nano-probes loaded with probe derived against proposed bio-active molecules which are either metabolites/proteins/peptides (polyamines/ Brassinosteroids/Jasmonides/ signal peptides/antioxidants); (2) Establish a robust reproducible extraction methodology for metabolites/ proteins/ peptides sourced from
DBT - TDNBC - DEAKIN – Research Network Across continents for learning and innovation (DTD-RNA)
March 18, 2019
| Ongoing project
| Sustainable Agriculture
TERI, India and Deakin University, Australia are two destinations in the world that are actively engaged in nanotechnology based research on agriculture, material science, food storage and safety.
Development of Epicuticular fatty acids catabolizing fungi enriched biopesticide formulation: validation of Beta oxidation enhanced pathogenicity in Citrus aphids
March 11, 2019
| Ongoing project
| Microbes
The research project would identify fatty acid dissolving fungal strain and their possible usages in biopesticide formulation with higher biocontrol potential, lesser variation yet safer for predators and pollinators.
TERI Coastal Education Hub
February 25, 2019
| Ongoing project
| Land
Coastal wetland carries a wide variety of marine biodiversity (flora and fauna) which needs to be conserved.
