The Indian Institute of Technology Madras Energy Consortium hosted an industry meet on Thursday to discuss ways to boost low-carbon future.
The consortium was established in December 2021 to leverage the institute’s expertise to accelerate the de-carbonisation of Indian industry’s energy systems. The ‘industry day’ event focused on providing international perspectives and the evolving global energy challenges and opportunities for the country.
The consortium’s strategic action teams include the institute’s faculty and advisers from member industries. At the meeting, policy imperatives and international collaborations were also discussed. Over 50 faculty from various disciplines in the institute, besides over 250 postgraduate (PhD and MS) students and at least 25 post-doctoral fellows are working on various domains related to energy.
