The study is distinctly different from the normally available literature on the subject. The book is an attempt to go into both the policy and programme aspects of India's Nuclear development and factors influencing the India-United States of America Civil Nuclear Deal.
It being with examination of the various national choices of nuclear policies involving consideration of diverse and often mutually conflicting objectives. It also analyses the growth and ...
This book is a geo-strategic study of hydrocarbon, metal and mineral resources in Africa. It showcases India’s efforts to project itself as a key player in the extractive-resource partnership with African countries. It studies trends in India-Africa resource engagement: India’s oil partnership with Nigeria, natural gas partnership with Mozambique, diamond partnership with Botswana, partnership on uranium with Namibia and partnership with Senegal ...
TERI Energy and Environment Data Diary and Yearbook (TEDDY) is an annual publication brought out by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) since 1986. It is the only comprehensive energy and environment yearbook in India which provides updated information on the energy supply sectors (coal and lignite, petroleum and natural gas, power, and renewable energy sources), energy demand sectors (agriculture, industry, transport, residential, and commercial sectors), ...
Nuclear energy is today seen as a major contentious area where India’s technology policy is concerned. The volume presents state-of-the-art discussions by experts on diverse issues concerned with India’s nuclear energy programme. The experts debate public concerns like nuclear reactor safety and radiation hazards, technical issues like the use of breeder reactors and close fuel cycles, and legal issues like regulatory bodies and legislative acts as ...
Contributors to the volume study various facets of the energy scenario including economic, political, technological, national, regional and global strategies concerning energy. Taking into consideration concepts like energy security and the working of energy diplomacy, they examine how strategising of energy is linked to domestic and foreign policies of nations or regions and they are futuristic in their character as strategies have a long-term perspective. The ...
The anaerobic process is in many ways ideal for waste treatment. It has several significant advantages over other available methods and is almost certainly assured of increased usage in the future. Anaerobic treatment is currently employed at most municipal treatment and also in some industrial sectors. However, inspite of the present significance and large future potential of this process, it has not yet enjoyed the favourable reputation it truly deserves. The ...
The book questions nationalist notions about development of atomic science in India and shows that the emergence of the country’s nuclear science infrastructure was in fact tenuous and contradictory and rich in faction fights that determined the direction of the development. Tracing the academic roots of India’s nuclear research to universities, industrial philanthropy, scientists and laboratories, it locates three different transitions in the ...
The book is concerned with the world energy scenario and specifically the energy scenario in India. Highlighting the decreasing conventional energy resources even as the need for energy grows, it takes up in-depth the role of the new green energy sources in meeting the future energy needs. It throws light on the ‘net energy’ available from the green energy sources—energy from nuclear fusion, solar electricity, geothermal energy and electricity ...
The purpose of writing this book is to present a complete story of Oil (in a short and interesting way) right from its discovery to the present times, how it has changed the lives of billions of people around the world and what lies ahead in the future. A Common citizen in India, who keeps on reading and hearing about oil in tabloids and news channels and wants to know all about it, should be able to find his answers with this book.
Renewable resource based energy generation with its multi-faceted role can also play a pivotal role in making a level playing ground for underdeveloped areas and bring parity among underdeveloped areas and bring parity among underdeveloped, developing and developed areas. Development and growth of renewable energy sector in Northeast region of India, in this regard is of social importance. In spite of Northeast region of India being rich in renewable resources ...
The volume surveys the nuclear energy scenario in India. Physicist and writer M. V. Ramana provides a narrative on the evolution of India’s nuclear energy programme, delving into various aspects of it. He studies to what extent it can be justified by enormous financial budgets and the kind of high level political commitment that has been associated with it. He argues that the nuclear energy programme has failed in the past and its future prospects are ...
