What is the Facility for Low Carbon Technology Deployment(FLCTD) Project?
Launched in: 2016
Objective: To identify innovative energy efficiency and low carbon technology solutions that address the existing technology gaps in the Indian industrial and commercial sectors.
Implemented by: United Nations Industrial Development Organisation(UNIDO) in collaboration with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency(BEE).
Funded by: Global Environment Facility(GEF)
Under the Project, annual innovation challenges are conducted in the following six areas: Waste Heat Recovery, Space Conditioning, Pumps, Pumping Systems and Motors, Industrial IoT, Industrial Resource Efficiency and Electrical Energy Storage.
The winners of the challenge receive financial assistance of up to US$50,000 to validate their innovation and demonstrate its efficacy (performance) in actual field conditions – a necessary step before commercialization.
