India’s one of the most prominent research organizations, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), is keen to offer Japanese energy-efficient technologies among Micro Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the state.
The Delhi-based TERI is of the view that AP has tremendous scope and potential to promote energy efficiency to address serious challenges faced by the sector because of dependence on obsolete, low-efficiency technologies that result in
wasteful energy consumption and reduce profitability and competitiveness in the MSMEs sector in India thereby controlling emissions too.
TERI is keen to introduce low-carbon technologies in AP MSMEs with the help of the Japanese government after due consultation and consent from the Union Ministry of Power led Bureau of Energy Efficiency and other ministries.
A two-day conference on “Building a Resilient De-carbonized Society in India through Environmental Infrastructure and Technology” is being conducted by TERI in New Delhi in association with IGES (Institute of Global Environmental Strategies), Japan and other Indian as well as Japanese organisations.
During the conference participated by CEO AP State Energy Conservation Mission, senior director of TERI, Girish Sethi, said that Japan-India technology matchmaking platform (JITMAP) is working towards awareness creation amongst the MSMEs in India. “It focuses on promoting low-cost technologies to the user end. There is a need to explore the energy efficient technology basket,” he said.
