Advancing Sustainable Energy: CSIR's Focus on Energy Technologies
Key Ideas
- CSIR labs across India are actively organizing programs under the One Week One Theme campaign, focusing on Energy and Energy Devices, bringing together industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers.
- Events like the Two-Day Workshop on Challenges and Opportunities in Gasification and the Interaction Meet on Geothermal Energy aim to explore the potential of technologies like gasification and geothermal energy.
- Focus on hydrogen technology at CSIR-CMERI and CSIR-CGCRI showcases cutting-edge research and technological advancements in hydrogen energy, batteries, and alternate fuels.
- CSIR-NCL's symposium on Catalysis and Renewable Energy emphasizes the importance of alternative fuels and renewable energy in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and addressing global energy challenges.
The Ministry of Science & Technology in India, under the leadership of the Hon’ble Union Minister of State for S&T Dr. Jitendra Singh, launched the One Week One Theme (OWOT) Campaign at the India Habitat Centre in Delhi. This initiative aims to promote awareness and innovation in various themes, with a recent focus on Energy and Energy Devices. CSIR’s labs, such as CSIR-CIMFR, CSIR-NGRI, and CSIR-CSMCRI, have organized workshops and events showcasing advancements in gasification, geothermal energy, hydrogen technology, and renewable energy.
CSIR-CIMFR in Dhanbad hosted a workshop on Challenges and Opportunities in Gasification, bringing together key stakeholders to discuss the potential of gasification technology. Meanwhile, CSIR-NGRI in Hyderabad organized an Interaction Meet on Geothermal Energy to explore the current status and future potential of geothermal resources in India.
CSIR-CSMCRI in Bhavnagar highlighted advancements in hydrogen, batteries, and solar energy, driving sustainable energy solutions. Similarly, CSIR-CECRI in Karaikudi and CSIR-CMERI in Durgapur focused on hydrogen technology, discussing production, storage, and utilization methods. CSIR-CGCRI in Kolkata showcased innovations in hydrogen, photo catalysis, and solid-state batteries.
Furthermore, CSIR-NCL in Pune hosted a symposium on Catalysis and Renewable Energy, emphasizing the importance of alternative fuels and catalytic technologies in sustainable development. The ongoing initiatives from CSIR demonstrate a collective effort towards advancing sustainable energy solutions and fostering collaborations in the field of energy technologies.
