The program recently conducted a 2-day National Academy in New Delhi to kick start the accelerator program. It was participated by all selected companies, their mentors, trainers from Cleantech Open and officials from UNIDO, MSME, NDRC and AEEE. There were great takeaways from the event and the company is actively engaged in learning to scale up through the accelerator program culminating in the final event in San Fransisco in February 2016.

A presentation on “Renewable Energies for Sustainable Development of MSMEs” was made by Mr. Madhusudhan Rao on Dec 9, 2016 at Taj Krishna, Hyderabad. The event was jointly organised by Andhra Chamber of Commerce, Friedrich Naumann Stiftung fur die Freiheit (FNF) and TANSTIA-FNF Service Centre (TFSC).

The program was attended representatives of more than 100 MSMEs in Hyderabad and Secunderabad area. Mr. Madhusudhan Rao’s presentation covered different aspects of Solar Thermal technologies that can be used by MSMEs for having sustainable processes within their organisations. The presentation discussed techno-economic aspects of the solar options along a few studies.

Oorja’s Managing Director, Madhusudhan Rao, talked beyond the traditional solar thermal applications like Community Cooking, Milk Pasteurisation, Boiler Feed Water Pre Heating, Solar Cooling etc. The novel applications discussed were:

• Steel Mould Pre-heating in Steel Castings

Steel Moulds require to be heated upto 300 deg C and can be done using Solar Concentrators

• Bitumen & Aggregates heating in Road Construction

Bitumen & Aggregates used on road construction use diesel for heating them to 160 deg C. Solar Heat source can be used.

• Industrial Effluent Drying for Industries adopting Zero Liquid Discharge

Large quantities of industrial effluents are dried in Multi-Effect Evapoarator (MEE) that operate on Steam. Solar Concentrators can be used to produce this steam.

• Hydrogen Production for use as fuel

Hydrogen fuel can be produced by using Ultra High Concentration using Solar using Metal Oxide reactions.
