<div>Ahmedabad : Gujarat Council on Science and Technology (GUJCOST), in partnership with the Technology Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council (TIFAC), conducted a successful workshop on Technology Prioritization for the Energy Sector at Gujarat Science City. The workshop focused on advancing strategic technology development to tackle climate change and promote sustainability.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Energy is essential for modern economies, enabling investments, innovations, and new industries that drive job creation, inclusive growth, and shared prosperity on a sustainable planet. Recognizing this critical role, GUJCOST and TIFAC convened experts to discuss and prioritize energy technologies crucial for climate resilience and sustainable development.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Presided over by Prof. Pradeep Srivastava, Executive Director of TIFAC, the workshop featured insights from leading scientists and researchers. Prof. Srivastava emphasized the historical significance of energy in societal advancement and highlighted the urgent need for sustainable practices to combat climate change and global warming. He called on researchers to contribute to a cleaner, greener future.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Dr. Gautam Goswami, Scientist G and Head of the Technology Foresight Division at TIFAC, led the session, presenting a diverse array of energy technologies that could propel India towards becoming a Viksit Bharat (Developed India). He stressed the importance of identifying and prioritizing technologies for climate change mitigation and adaptation.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The event saw active participation from over 40 faculty members representing 25 institutions across Gujarat, including prestigious entities such as Gujarat Energy Research and Management Institute, Pandit Deendayal Energy University, Central University of Gujarat, IIT Gandhinagar, and more. These experts brought diverse perspectives and deep expertise in the energy sector.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Dr. Narottam Sahoo, Advisor at GUJCOST, reiterated the interconnectedness of energy with all aspects of life and its pivotal role in fostering sustainable growth. He underscored the importance of the energy sector in driving investments and innovations for a sustainable planet.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>A significant highlight of the workshop was the launch of a technology fact sheet by TIFAC. This document outlines strategic efforts to identify and adopt technologies essential for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Using the STEEP (Social, Technological, Environmental, Economic, and Policy) criteria, participants evaluated and prioritized available technologies.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Through rigorous evaluation and scoring, Green Hydrogen and Wind Energy emerged as the top technologies ready to address climate change and sustain life on Earth.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The workshop epitomized the collaborative spirit necessary to tackle climate change. It underscored the collective effort required to ensure the prosperity of nations and the health of our planet for future generations.
