A policy brief analysing India's aspirations of achieving development without leaving a massive carbon footprint.
Energy-environment-economy models (commonly known as E3) are often used to explore greenhouse gas mitigation policies.
Think Tanks do more than just research.
Nuclear power is a crucial source of clean energy for India.
Measuring progress towards the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs) will substantially depend on how countries are performing in the implementation of targets under the goals.
As a large developing country, India’s challenge is to meet its development aspirations in a carbon-constrained world.
CSTEP's Techno-Economic Model for Photovoltaics (CSTEM PV) has been envisioned as a continuing initiative that aims to constructively support and be in line with India’s clean energy aspirations.
Key Objective: The main objective of this project is to develop an energy model as a visualisation and planning tool (Decision Support System) that will enable policymakers to create and test their strategies virtually.
This project explores a general case methodology for designing mini-grids through a pilot project implementation, to provide a sustainable, economically viable and reliable supply of power to remote areas that face zero-to-poor energy access.
In India, one of the world’s fastest growing economies, most industries still run on fossil fuels.
This article is the fourth in CSTEP’s Enrich series of blogs where we discuss what happens in a think tank beyond research.
India has to overcome several developmental challenges in the coming decades.
A differential pricing mechanism that calculates different pumping and generation prices for pumped-hydro energy storage (PHES) should be employed for its growth in India, recommends a recent study by the Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP).
CSTEP is collaborating with ET Energyworld to conduct a panel discussion titled Decarbonising Hard to Abate Sectors: New Fuels, Old Aspirations.
Green growth refers to a rethinking of traditional development strategies by factoring in how economic growth would impact the environment, and today’s climate crisis prescribes urgent worldwide action on this.
