Other Renewable Energy Technologies
The Institute support to other emerging and niche Renewable Energy technologies such as bio-fuels, biomass briquetting, solar thermal, bio-hydrogen, etc. The identified research areas to be pursued are as follows:
- Demonstration of biomass briquetting technology and dissemination
- Provide cost-competitive, new and renewable energy options
- Operation of plants on BOLT system and Pilot innovative projects and Fuel cells, bio-hydrogen, etc.
- Development of bio-fuel production using non-edible, cooked oil and waste oils, and other feed stocks and the use of bio-diesel as fuel in diesel engines. Study on the growth characteristics of different varieties of oil bearing plants and others
- Preparation and supply of Inoculum (anaerobic bacteria) for Composite Bio-toilets (as per DRDO) and production & supply of FRP bio-digester tanks (as per DRDO design)
- To develop hybrid/integrated renewable energy systems to seek to find optimum solutions for the major stakeholders across the entire spectrum of the clean energy sector.
- To provide consultancy, policy making services to other Institutions in the country both in the government and in the private sector and reparation of detailed project, feasibility reports, energy audit, energy conservation studies, survey, study, documentation, assessment, mapping and design of energy efficient systems.
