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
April 15, 2015
| 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.
United Technologies-TERI Center of Excellence for Energy Efficient Buildings in Indian Cities
October 1, 2014
| Ongoing project
| Buildings
In order to address energy efficiency in existing buildings, United Technologies and TERI entered into a partnership to set up a Centre of Excellence on building energy diagnostics and evaluation for improving energy efficiency in existing buildings.
The main objectives of setting up this Centre of Excellence include:

July 17, 2014
| Ongoing project
| Buildings
Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College is an upcoming institutional campus located at Karnal, Haryana. The project consists of two buildings: (1) institutional building; and (2) OPD building. TERI will provide GRIHA consultancy as well as the final documentation of GRIHA certification.
Development of Okra varieties resistant to YVMV using marker assisted selection
July 1, 2014
| Ongoing project
The project aims to identify molecular markers linked to YVMV resistance in Okra using mapping populations. A number of strategies such as QTL mapping and bulked segregant analysis will be done for this purpose.
Stabilization and upgradation of biomass derived bio-oils over tailored multifunctional catalysts in a dual stage catalytic process to produce liquid hydrocarbon fuels and Its application studies
September 11, 2013
| Ongoing project
The high oxygen content, acidity and immiscibility with petroleum fuels hinders large-scale applicability of bio-oil obtained via pyrolysis of biomass. This project proposes to develop a technology for Catalytic Two-Stage Stabilization and Upgradation of Bio-oil for enhanced stability and potential applications as fuels.
