Transitioning to alternative sustainable materials can help mitigate the carbon intensity associated with plastic production and its impact on climate change.
Sustainable Aviaton Fuel Roadmap for India
August 9, 2023
| Ongoing project
| Energy | Transport
Fossil fuel-sourced Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) has significant environmental impacts along its well-to-wheel chain. In 2021 aviation accounted for over 2% of global energy-related CO2 emissions, having grown faster in recent decades than road, rail or shipping.
Crop Diversification Pathways for Punjab
August 9, 2023
| Ongoing project
| Sustainable Agriculture | Health & Nutrition | Environment
TERI, under its commitments to the FOLU India platform operations, has taken the responsibility of developing a roadmap for the crop diversification of Punjab. The general approach adopted is to initiate a value chain-based gap analysis to identify the enabling conditions required to make the alternate crops economically lucrative to the farmers.
Comparative LCA Between Powertrain Components of ICE Vehicles Versus EVs
August 9, 2023
| Ongoing project
| Transport | Resources & Sustainable Development | Energy
Manufacture, promotion and adoption of EVs seem to be one of the top priorities of government all across the world including India when it comes to green measures. The aim of this project is to quantify the benefits associated with such a switch compared to the traditional option of using ICE vehicle powertrain and fuel in Indian roads.
Establishing Energy Data Management Unit (EDMU)
August 9, 2023
| Ongoing project
| Energy Efficiency | Energy Access | Energy
Energy access, energy security, and energy transition are vital both at the global and national levels. This necessitates the availability of robust, consistent, and reliable energy data, which can help in understanding the energy profile of a country. Furthermore, it aids in assessing the impact of various policies and programs.
