Overview

The Sustainable Technologies division carries the onus of identifying and promoting new technologies which have a scope for wide application in India and can contribute towards promoting sustainable development.

Currently the centre is promoting the fly ash concrete technology with the objective of strengthening Construction Industry's ability to use higher volumes of fly ash in concrete construction. This would result in two pronged benefits of a better and efficient usage of fly ash solving the problem of fly ash disposal and a consequent reduction of green house gas emissions into the atmosphere by the reduction in the usage of cement in construction.
