18 Centre of Excellence in Systems Energy and Environment, Govt College of Engineering Kannur Baseline Assessment for Carbon Neutral Mankulam Haritha Kerala Mission, MS Swaminathan Research Foundation, UNDP India "Awareness and briefing of carbon neutrality to members of the grama panchayat and the people in general - 2 Nos of programs conducted. Guidelines to be formulated for a society to become carbon neutral. Such a general guideline is not available as of now for a panchayat level. This is expected to be a global benchmarking process where the centre is spearheading the technology and assessment guidelines The key interventions related to research activities undertaken by CESEE : 1.Carbon Neutral Meenengadi, Wayanad - The centre has played an active role in the technical interventions at Meenangadi which is marching towards the goal of becoming the first carbon neutral panchayat in India. This interventions were in the form of being a nodal centre to coordinate the technical activities related to carbon sequestration, measurements and guidelines. Centre was able to rope in many premier institutes of the country like IISc Bangalore, IIT Delhi, MSSRF, TNAU and other institutes across the world like TU Delft, Netherlands, Groningen University Netherlands, etc 2. Recognising the efforts of CESEE towards carbon neutrality programme, UNDP has sanctioned a funding of Rs 27 lakhs for the project titled Carbon Neutral Mankulam. The work for the funded project is under progress. 3. As a follow up in the carbon neutral initiatives of the centre, we are currently acting as an advisory group for the Carbon Neutral Kozhikode programme. 4. Energy efficient cook stove evaluation project which was developed by IISc Bangalore by Prof. N S Mukunda. The thermal studies related to the performance of the stoves were taken up by the centre 5. Vibration studies related to acoustics at power looms in Nadal, Kannur 6. Rain water acoustics and vibrations on steel roofs. 7. Fuel cell studies in solid oxide fuel cells 8. Gasifier studies 9. Microgrid with hybrid energy inputs 10. Biochar characterization studies
