The “Awareness Workshop on Dissemination of Japanese low carbon technologies in Mumbai, India” was organized on 16 November, 2016 in Mumbai, India. It was a part of the activities conducted in India in FY2016 under the “Technology Assessment” project, which is a project funded by the Ministry of Environment, Japan (MOEJ) and commissioned to the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES). Representatives from ndustry, government, consultancy agencies and funding organisations participated in the event.
The objective of the workshop was to facilitate the interaction between Japanese technology providers and Indian stakeholders, especially end-users, to share the information on Japanese LCTs and discuss about how to disseminate them in India. Moreover, to exchange ideas and opinions about how to promote JITMAP in general and on what information/knowledge should be shared online in particular.
The workshop included the background presentation to explain IGES and TERI (IGES's local research partner) continued research activities on the application of Japanese LCTs in Indian industries, introduction of a Japan-India Technology Matchmaking Platform (JITMAP) initiated in July 2017, and a panel discussion on JITMAP about how to further improve it, and followed by detailed technical presentations on Japanese low carbon technologies (LCTs), namely steam management system by Japanese technology expers.
It was a beneficial session to Indian participants to know about the importance of matchmaking as well as to know about Japanese LCT and beneficial to Japanese experts to know about Indian technology needs, concerns and expectations.
