(Reference) Introduction of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI)・Year of Establishment: 1974, with support from Tata
Group・Location: Headquarters in Delhi. Regional centers inBangalore, Goa and Guwahati. Presence in Japan.
・Number of staff: 600+・Main activities: Research programs on climate change,energy, environment, sustainable habitat, sustainableagriculture・Others: 1) Japan-India Technology Matchmaking Platform(JITMAP) set up in 2016 by IGES and TERI with the supportof Ministry of the Environment, Japan (MOEJ) to facilitate
the transfer of ETs from Japan for adoption by Indianindustrial end-users.
2) Flagship event "World Summit on Sustainable
Development (WSDS)" organized every year in February3

Progress: A decade of promoting Japanese Environmental Technologies in India
2010~2014 SATREPS project successfully implemented Japanese technologies (gas heat pump (GHP) andelectric heat pump (EHP)) and introduced better operating practices in induction furnaces andcompressed air systems to Indian companies.
2014

JCM (Joint Crediting Mechanism) feasibility study to raise the awareness about JCM scheme
among Indian stakeholders and conduct feasibility studies regarding the application of compressed
air system in Indian industry.

2015

Ministry of the Environment of Japan (MOEJ) project to identify the possibility of applying Japanesetechnologies (once-through boilers, steam management systems, and compressed airsystems) in India by analyzing opportunities and challenges/barriers.

2016~

Japan-India Technology Matchmaking Platform (JITMAP) launched to promote Japanese low
carbon technologies (LCT) such as compressed air system, steam management system,
refrigeration system including EHP and energy-efficient transmission belts .

2020∼

Target technologies for JITMAP were expanded to Japanese environmental technologies.

Examples of outcomes of JITMAP activities【Example 1】 Awareness Seminar on “Promoting India-Japan collaboration on environment technologies”(In cooperation with Japan Environmental Technology Association (JETA))
・Date: February 14, 2023 ・Place: Pune in Maharashtra
・Objectives:
1) To share experiences in India, Japan & other countries to tackle
air pollution.
2) To introduce Japanese environmental technologies to participants.
・Participants: About 65 participants from government agencies,
energy-intensive companies, universities & research institutes, etc.
・Main outcomes:
1) It was found that the government agencies welcomed Japanesecooperation in air quality monitoring.
2) It was found that there are local needs of improving technicalcapacities to tackle air pollution.

Examples of outcomes of JITMAP activities【Example 2】 Situational Analysis & Needs Assessment on the National Clean Air Programm in India
・Period: Feb.~Jun., 2023. ・Target State: Maharashtra.
・Target Areas: Ambient Air Quality Monitoring & Stack Monitoring.
・Implementors: IGES & TERI in collaboration with JETA.
・Activities: Literature review & Interviews with stakeholders in Pune.
・Findings:
1) Issues on Ambient Air Quality Monitoring: (1) Insufficient number ofmeasuring stations, (2) Insufficient monitoring and measures for PM2.5& PM10, (3) Capacity building of stakeholders implementing the AAQM, etc.

2) Issues on Stack Monitoring: (1) Stringent implementation of emission
regulations & measures by relevant agencies, (2) Capacity building ofstakeholders implementing the SM, (3) Access to information on regulations,standards & their effects, etc.

10Examples of outcomes of JITMAP activities【Example 2】 Situational Analysis & Needs Assessment on the National Clean Air Programm in India
・Outcome: Project Proposal on Improvement of Air Pollution through Collaboration between
Government, Industry, Academia & People in India.
- Project Purpose: In a model area in Pune, Maharashtra, an effective air pollution control plan thatis supported by air pollution factor analysis & contributes to reducing the healthhazards of residents is developed through collaboration of industry-government-academia-industry.
- Outcomes:
1. Air quality monitoring capacities of the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board & Pune Municipal
Corporation are enhanced to identify sources of air pollution.
2. Capacities to monitor smoke emissions from target industries in the model area are enhanced.
3. Residents of the model area are provided with information on air pollution (including informationto avoid health hazard) & their ideas on air pollution are communicated to the Air Quality Monitoring
Committee.

Examples of outcomes of JITMAP activities【Example 3】 Approx. 30% energy saving byimproving the operating practices【Example 4】 Awareness raising of steam management
system in a seminar by the state government

・Activity:
Feasibility study (Sep.2017)
Follow-up survey (Jan.2020)

・Date: Feb. 2020 ・Venue: Gujarat

・Location: Maharashtra
・Target industry: Automobile parts
・Recommendations on the FS by the expert ofcompressed air system:
1) To replace an outdated reciprocating air compressor
with an energy-efficient inverter compressor.
2) To improve the operating practices such as
reducing the air leakage.
・Findings in the follow-up survey:
By implementing most of the recommendations, thecompany reduced the annual power consumption
by about 1.8 million kWh, which was equivalent
to about INR16 million (JPY 2.3 million).

・Activity: Introduction of Steam Management
System of TLV International, Inc. in aseminar of the state government.
・Implementing Partners:
1) Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA)
2) National Productivity Council (NPC)
・Participants: About 120 Certified Energy Auditorsand Energy Managers.
・Outputs:
Understanding of participants on energy saving
by using efficient steamvalves & traps based on theresults of feasibility studies
in Indian industries wasincreased.
