Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is organizing weeklong activities on One Week One Theme (OWOT) in eight different themes across its 37 laboratories to showcase translatable research leads to marketable/value-added technologies/products, enhancing interactions and connecting to stakeholders to enable ease of technology licensing. The targeted theme “Energy and Energy Devices (EED)” is focused on conventional, non-conventional, sustainable, and innovative approaches for energy generation and storage solutions during 24-28 June, 2024 in New Delhi.
Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) -National Physical Laboratory (CSIR-NPL) is also organizing two days event on 26th and 27th June, 2024, under the OWOT:EED program by displaying technical strengths and achievements in the areas of Photovoltaic Metrology, Flexible solar cells (Silicon & Perovskite), Energy gas (Hydrogen & Alternative Fuels) Metrology and Agricultural waste to Biocoal, through a series of events including expert presentations, industry meet, laboratory visits, demonstration of working facilities etc.
Dr. Sushil Kumar, Convener of the event gave an overview of CSIR-NPL energy based technology driven research. He also spoke about OWOT:EED program of CSIR-NPL on Energy & Energy Devices. Dr. S.R. Dhakate, officiating director CSIR-NPL, emphasized on the importance of renewable energy and technology on solar, bio mass, hydrogen, and its potential to prevent global warming. Throwing some light on the contribution of CSIR-NPL on solar energy and converting bio-mass into bio-coal technology., he added that CSIR-NPL is going to provide primary reference solar cells calibration service in next 2-3 months and asked solar industry to get benefit of it. About 40 participants from PV industry and 80 students from various institute participated in the event. A session on green energy, gas and biomass to biocoal on 27 June 2024.
