India programs / GEP
Project to reduce the volume of emissions of greenhouse gases per unit of electricity generated in India by increasing energy efficiency in the thermal power sector and encouraging year-round usage of biomass fuels at sugar mill cogeneration facilities (Greenhouse Gas Pollution Prevention [GEP] project). The GEP consists of two parts: an advanced bagasse cogeneration (ABC) component and an efficient coal conversion (ECC) component. Each component is further subdivided into investment (INV) and TA subcomponents. ABC-INV will provide grant support for sugar mill cogeneration schemes which run year-round on biomass fuels, while ECC-INV will contribute to funding at least one full-scale demonstration plant utilizing an advanced coal conversion technology. Both INV subcomponents will be implemented by the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI). The primary objectives of the TA components, which include training, are to reduce CO2 emissions per kilowatt hour of coal-fired electricity generation and encourage the replacement of fossil fuels with biomass fuels in high-efficiency bagasse cogeneration plants. Both TA components will be implemented by the U.S. Department of Energy's

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
