ABOUT SDC IN INDIA

BACKGROUND

GOAL

• A technical cooperation partner of India for more than fifty years.

• Since 2011, SDC’s programme focuses specifically on the issues of climate change.

• SDC’s Global Programme Climate Change (GPCC) supports innovative climate change and mitigation projects in select partner countries, facilitates the generation and dissemination of knowledge and engages in climate change policy processes.

• Contribute to a climate compatible development in India over the long term by:

• Reducing or avoiding greenhouse gas emissions without compromising India’s development goal (Mitigation); and

• Safeguarding development achievements from the negative impacts of climate change (Adaptation).

BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT (BEEP)

Built Environment

The project aims to contribute to reducing

energy consumption in new buildings and

promoting best practices in designing and

applying energy-efficient measures.

• Promote an integrated design

approach for large buildings.

• Reinforce material testing capacities.

• Develop guidelines for the design of energy-

efficient residential buildings.

• Prepare design templates for energy –

efficient public buildings.

• Build capacity and disseminate knowledge.

Built Environment

Achievements

• 11 integrated design workshops organized

for commercial /public building resulting in

reduction of energy consumption by 20-

40%.

• Guidelines for energy-efficient multi-storey

residential buildings for composite and hot

climates officially launched in 2014.

• A public building in Jaipur, Rajasthan

constructed using energy-efficient design

recommendations, estimated to save

energy by 32%.

• About 500 building sector professionals

made aware of integrated design

methodologies and best practices for

energy-efficient buildings.

BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT (BEEP)

Built Environment

Planned Results

Implementing Partners

• More building professionals and practitioners are

introduced to integrated design practices and

trained in energy-efficient designs.

• Laboratory capacity in India to test the thermal

performance of insulation materials and

assemblies is strengthened.

• Comprehensive guidelines on designing energy-

efficient residential buildings are developed for

two more climatic regions.

BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT (BEEP)

Built Environment

About the project

Objectives

The project aims to enable recognition of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement as the cement suitable for general construction and as a mainstream cement type.

• Standards committees in India, Cuba and

possibly a third country accept for

consideration the Standards for production

and use of LCC.

• Cement sector invests in the production of

LC3.

LOW CARBON CEMENT PROJECT (LCC)

Planned Results

Implementing Partners

Built Environment

• Standards developed and submitted to

standardization bodies for approval.

• Efficiency, sustainability and market potential of

LC3 production proven.

• Potential and results of LC3 project

communicated to relevant stakeholders from

research and industry.

• Experts in LC3 technology become available

and the cement sector invests in the production

and use of LC3.

LOW CARBON CEMENT PROJECT (LCC)

About the project

Objectives

Small-scale Industries

The project aims to enhance energy efficiency in

micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) through

successful demonstration of clean, reliable and cost-

effective technologies.

• Create an enabling policy environment and

programme to facilitate the uptake of energy

efficient technologies in MSME sector.

• Expand the use of energy-efficient

technologies in the foundry sector.

• Energy-efficient technologies are used in other

MSME sector.

SCALING UP OF ENERGY-EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES IN SMALL ENTERPRISES (EESE)

Planned Results

Implementing Partners

Small-scale Industries

• Facilitating the uptake of energy-efficient

technologies in MSME sector through analysis

and dissemination of data on energy-intensive

clusters.

• Engaging with relevant stakeholders and

formulating policy recommendations for an

enabling environment.

• Scaling up the use of energy-efficient

technologies or practices in the foundry sector

through training of foundry entrepreneurs and

enabling local service providers to provide

technical backup support.

• Enabling the use of energy-efficient technologies

or practices in other MSME sectors like the

aluminum sector and in the production of

agricultural pump sets.The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), India

SCALING UP OF ENERGY-EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES IN SMALL ENTERPRISES (EESE)

Renewable Energy

About the project

Objectives

The project aims to accelerate the usage of biomass-

based clean energy solutions for electrification and

industrial use through technology development,

demonstration and market development.

• Develop and demonstrate an advance gasifier

technology.

• Sustainable biomass supply chain identified.

• Increase awareness on a wider scale about

biomass based clean energy solutions.

ACCELERATING THE USE IF BIOMASS FOR CLEAN ENERGY SERVICES

Renewable Energy

Achievements

• About 60 biomass thermal gasifier systems

installed in 15 sectors across five states.

• In six out of the 15 sectors, biomass thermal

gasifier was introduced for the first time,

replacing systems using polluting fuels.

• Thermal gasifiers and its different end-use

applications in MSME sector demonstrated to

about 700 owners of MSME units, industry

association representatives and government

officials in India and 44 in Ethiopia.

• Two-stage biomass gasifier for electricity

generation successfully adapted to Indian

conditions and needs, tested for over 1,500

hours and is ready for field implementation

in rural India.

• Biomass thermal gasifier with full

automation features (for temperature

control) successfully tested and installed in

the ceramics industry in Naroda industrial

cluster of Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
