Embracing Innovation for a Sustainable Future 🌱 Today, we had the privilege of witnessing a remarkable display of youthful ingenuity and #environmental #stewardship at the Directorate of Environment, Lucknow. Ms. Pavani Agrawal, a bright and promising 12th-grade student from the City Montessori School, Gomti Nagar Campus I , Cambridge Section, Lucknow, presented her #innovative #technology - SHEETAL (Solar Hinged Energy Efficiency Terracotta Air cooled Lineup) to Mr Ashish Tiwari, Secretary, Department of Environment, Forest & Climate Change at Government of Uttar Pradesh and team of researchers of UP Climate Change Authority. SHEETAL is a testament to the power of green innovation. This #costeffective and sustainable space cooling solution is designed to provide relief from the intense summer heat, particularly in semi outdoor environments. Its unique terracotta design, coupled with #solarenergy utilization, makes it an environmentally friendly solution that aligns with our commitment to sustainable energy. Key Highlights of SHEETAL: 🌞 Solar-Powered: Utilizes #clean, #renewable #solarenergy. 🌍 Eco-Friendly: Reduces reliance on conventional energy sources, minimizing environmental impact. 💲 Cost-Effective: Offers an affordable alternative to traditional cooling methods. ♻️ Sustainable: Encourages the use of natural materials and renewable energy for a greener tomorrow.   We commend Ms. Pavani Agrawal for her #dedication and #innovative spirit. Her work serves as an inspiration to young #researchers and #students across the nation to pursue sustainable innovations for the challenges we face. The Directorate of Environment is proud to support such initiatives that foster creativity, scientific inquiry, and a commitment to preserving our planet for future generations. Let's celebrate the achievements of our youth and encourage them to continue making a positive impact on our world! #SustainableCooling #SolarEnergy #Innovation #YouthInScience #EnvironmentalSustainability #CMSLucknow # Directorate of Environment

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐨𝐄𝐅&𝐂𝐂 𝐨𝐟 𝐔𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐡 is implementing a #sectoral #approach as part of the state's long-term #airshed-based #airqualitymanagement #policy.   Eateries, #restaurants, and #dhabhas in and around cities use #charcoal/coal-based #tandoors, which have a #substantialemission load as estimated in emission #inventories and pose a #healthrisk owing to indoor #airpollution. The switch to #LPG-powered tandoors has #environmental and #health #benefits, but #technological #hurdles, cost fallacies, and traditional taste are preventing their widespread acceptance.   The DoEF&CC, in #collaboration with the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) and TERI - The Energy and Resources Institute in New Delhi, has taken on the #challenge of conducting an evidence-based study to identify affordable #technology while also mitigating other challenges, including those related to traditional taste. This effort is part of the CAP India Project, which is financed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).   Following that, a series of #stakeholder #consultations were held with well-known eateries in #Lucknow to discuss the conversion of #coal-based #tandoors to LPG tandoors. The discussions focused on survey evaluations conducted by DoEF&CC and TERI, with a comparative analysis of #coal, #gas, and #electric tandoors highlighting the #advantages of gas tandoors, not only in terms of #environmental friendliness but also in terms of #costeffectiveness when compared to others. Furthermore, the viability of converting existing conventional tandoors to gas-powered options through #retrofitting gas kits was given, as well as ideas for keeping the traditional taste in LPG tandoors.   We are overjoyed with the huge reaction from Lucknow restaurant, eatery, and dhaba owners who are eager to use LPG tandoors. To instill confidence in the #cleaner #alternative, live demonstrations were held in which tandoor products were cooked in gas-powered tandoors and tasted by restaurant owners.   The gathering concluded with stakeholders agreeing that the shift is achievable, with minimum change in taste, and expressing their desire to convert to such an alternative.
