The Foundation is preparing to welcome its second set of MSc students at TERI University in Delhi. Our first students are all doing well, scoring good grades and enjoying their experience. One of these four students, Jonathan Okoronkwo, recently published an article in the University’s “Solar Quarterly”; Understanding the Vitals of PFS, FS, and DPR for Solar Energy Projects (PDF 751KB). We plan to visit Delhi during September to meet the new intake of students and also spend time:

• Visiting Gomti bio-fuels (www.gomtibiotech.in) which has a joint venture project with our sponsor firm SSR; we want to investigate whether the Gomti technology can be used to produce bio-diesel in the Jordan Valley;
• Have a good look at HitechAgro’s (www.hitechagro.org) biomass drying equipment in action; we consider using their drying equipment in the UK on project Greenland;
• Getting an update on our Delhi-based project Grassroots, which by September should be turning municipal waste into solid fuel briquettes.
