Area Focus

Research, design and development efforts should invariably lead to manufacture of complete systems, even if these efforts are required to be shared among different institutions. Thus, there would be a need for system integration broadly covering the following areas: -

1. Alternate Fuels (hydrogen, bio & synthetic) to supplement and eventually substitute liquid hydrocarbons;

2. Green Initiative for Future Transport (GIFT) based on Alternate Fuels for land, air & sea applications to supplement and eventually substitute fossil-fuel systems;

3. Green Initiative for Power Generation (GIPS) based on Alternate Fuels for stationary & portable power generation applications to supplement and eventually substitute fossil-fuel systems;

4. Standalone new and renewable energy products to provide cost-effective energy for cooking, lighting and motive power;

5. Distributed new and renewable energy systems to provide cost-competitive energy supply options for cooking, lighting and motive power;

6. New and renewable energy products for urban, industrial and commercial applications, including energy recovery from urban and industrial wastes and effluents; and

7. MW scale grid interactive renewable electricity systems to contribute towards supplement and eventually substitute fossil-fuel based electricity generation.
