Mainstreaming of BIPV Under PM Surya Ghar Scheme Across India
CSTEP partnered with the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH for a workshop titled ‘Mainstreaming of BIPV under PM Surya Ghar Scheme Across India'.
The workshop brought together global and Indian stakeholders to discuss building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) design, manufacturing, deployment, and India-specific needs, shaping strategies and developing comprehensive guidelines to scale up BIPV adoption in India.
Employing GIS in Climate Risk Assessment for Adaptation
CSTEP organised a webinar to deepen the understanding of geographic information system (GIS) technology and its role in informed decision-making for adapting to climate change. The webinar explored how GIS is changing climate risk analysis and providing information for formulating adaptation strategies.
Climate Hour
The 29th session of the Conference of Parties (COP29) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) marked a critical juncture in global climate negotiations. The decisions made at COP29 will be pivotal in shaping national and international trajectories toward achieving the 2030 and 2050 climate goals.
Senior Associate
The candidate will be involved in developing models to project India’s future energy and emissions landscape, assess resource constraints and macroeconomic impacts, and conduct financial analyses. Therefore, a multi-disciplinary background is essential.
Responsibilities
· Join the team in building models to better understand the future from the perspective of climate change mitigation and sustainability.
Carbon-to-chemicals: A techno-commercial assessment
Carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) is an innovative concept that involves converting carbon dioxide (CO₂) captured from point sources of emission or the air into value-added products. It has been gaining considerable attention lately for its role in realising a circular economy. In this context, our study aimed to examine the techno-economics of producing methanol and urea from the captured CO₂, while also evaluating the implications of producing these chemicals domestically, instead of importing them.
Senior Associate
We are seeking a highly motivated ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) expert to conduct comprehensive ecological analyses and design targeted green infrastructure plans in Bengaluru. The candidate will also assist the team in integrating nature-based solutions (NbS) into climate adaptation strategies, policies, and programmes.
Analyst
The candidate will contribute to the outreach activities of the Adaptation and Risk Analysis group by organising workshops and public meetings, engaging with stakeholders, and facilitating community feedback to strengthen ecosystem-based adaptation or EbA-focussed adaptation strategies.
