Research Wings
GERMI will research on issues of national and international importance related to the science, technology and management of climate change impacts. The other areas of the research in this wing include fundamental science and applied aspects of energy and nutrient optimization in substrate conversions and indicators.
This Centre is a bid to develop a world-class research institute with state-of-the-art facilities, and expertise to carry out fundamental and applied research. The objectiev is to help solve practical problems faced by industries & enable the integration of innovative need-based technologies and other holistic interventions.
Environmental Research
From the conceptual to the real: Integration to sustain development
- The institute’s Environment and Climate Change Research aims to generate insights that lead to integrated benefits for multiple stakeholder groups, including industry, policy and decision makers in the government, bi-and-multilateral institutions and communities.
- The nature of this wing's research will be in response to emerging environmental challenges faced by Gujarat and the country at large, aligned with India’s priorities, commitments and stand with respect to multilateral environmental agreements.
- The institute recognizes the fact that environmental impacts are cross-cutting and can emerge from the extraction of energy from various sources, and use in industrial, domestic and other applications. Climate Change impacts are one set of manifestations and it is important to understand impacts holistically to develop and implement system and sector-specific preventive and/or remedial measures .
Areas of research:
- Assessment of potential renewable and alternative energy options in:
a) Unit operations and processes in industries
b) Eco-industrial development - Bio-conversions and optimization pathways
- Environmental impacts assessment, remediation and preventive practicies
- Emission Mapping in industrial areas
- Assessment of adaptation needs to cope with challenges due to climate change, in the Petroleum sector
- Mitigation and adaptation measures in impacted areas – strengthening CSR initiatives in the Petroleum and other sectors
- Integrated development of SEZs, with special emphasis on Clean Air Action programme
- Advanced treatment of chemicals and Strengthening market mechanisms to secure credits
- Policy support to improve resilience of environmental, production and consumption systems through appropriate adaptation strategies
