ONGOING PROJECTS

At ACPET, we have been in the process of instituting research across domains in energy, using tools from economics, sociology, pure sciences and more. Here is a brief look at all of them:

Transition of coal mine communities towards sustainable lives and livelihoods (Trans-Mine)

The Ministry of Coal has identified a number of mines across the country as abandoned, discontinued, or closed (so far) and Coal India Ltd has taken proactive steps towards the closure of these mines. This would impact around 500,000 jobs/livelihoods and around 100,000 hectares of land and associated natural resources. With this background, ACPET has commissioned a project to “facilitate a smooth transition of coal mining communities towards sustainable lives and livelihoods”.

Energy Transition Financing

Financing clean energy transitions will play a key role in India’s transition into a net-zero economy by 2070. But how fair will the distribution of these finances be across sectors? Keeping this question in mind, the project studies two essential components -a) A Micro Level Household Specific Rural Energy Transition Paradigm and b) A DISCOM level clean energy storage solution paradigm to facilitate a people-centric energy transition. The project specifically looks at laggard and aspiring districts across the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand to understand these paradigms.

Energy Policy Dialogues Series

Building on the foundational project of ACPET, the policy development report- ‘Approach to an Integrated Energy Policy in India’, the Energy Policy Dialogues Series hopes to engage with the youth on various dimensions of the energy transition. Currently being executed in partnership with Young India Fellowship (YIF), Ashoka University, the conversation series is a bi-monthly event that brings energy industry experts, academics, entrepreneurs and changemakers from the grassroots, who together are helping weave the vision of India @2047: The Energy Story.
