Achievements:

This project is deploying and demonstrating clean and sustainable sector coupled energy system for rural cummunities. Through this project, new indigenous technologies targetting different energy vectors are developed with a specific focus on achieving carbon netutral energy system. The technologies are deployed in the three field demonstration sites including two remote rural sites, one being off gridBarubeda tribal area in Jharkhand state, and another being Borakhai village in Silchar Assam. The energy systems are helping the local community in various socio-economic ways.

Brief Description

Description :

The SUSTENANCE project aims to develop and demonstrate sustainable multi-energy vector based clean local energy system. This project focuses on the development of smart technological concepts enabling a green transition of energy systems with a higher share of local renewable energy. The main goals of the project include decarbonisation of local energy systems via optimal integration of locally available renewables, Integration of energy systems for local communities, Technical benchmarking and solutions matched with viable business models, Evaluation of solutions from the demonstration sites for replicability.
