An agreement was signed between the National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) and the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) on 7Aug 2019 to initiate a skill development programme for different levels of beneficiaries in the solar thermal energy sector
NISE and UNIDO will be engaging national and international experts to bring in the best practices by developing specialised training material.
The agreement is part of the on-going MNRE-GEF-UNIDO project implemented jointly by UNIDO to support capacity building and skill development of technical manpower in the Concentrated Solar Thermal Energy Technologies (CST).
These are being used to replace conventional fossil fuels for e.g. coal, diesel, furnace oil, etc. and save costs and emissions in the industrial process heat applications.
