Indian research group helping to reduce energy cost in sugar, rice sectors

Feb 08, 2014 News

Guyana has been collaborating closely with an Indian-based think-tank group in a number of areas including energy efficiency in the sugar sector.
According to the Office of Climate Change, a unit of the Office of the President, a team of specialists from The Energy and Research Institute (TERI) is currently working in Guyana on priority areas. “They have provided technical support for improvement in energy efficiency in the sugar and rice sectors and work is underway to pilot a programme for energy efficient street lighting.”
The institute will soon be extending its support to Guyana’s private sector with focus on the manufacturing and services industry.
TERI is headed by Dr. R.K Pachauri, Nobel Prize Laureate and Chairman of the Inter- Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Among the broad areas identified for continued assistance are; support for long term strategy development and implementation in the energy sector with focus on renewable energy and energy efficiency.
Dr. Pachauri, who has visited Guyana on several occasions, has been a supporter of Guyana’s climate initiatives and its Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS).
“He has facilitated collaboration with TERI to support and share expertise with Guyana in the area of climate change, energy, environment and sustainable development,” the Climate Change Office said.
