CO2 Research and Green Technologies Centre & School of Mechanical Engineering

CO2 Research and Green Technologies Centre (CO2RGTC), a unique advanced research laboratory, was created by VIT University, Vellore to carry-out research and develop technologies for Carbon Capturing and Utilization (CCU), to develop sustainable and green energy technologies and plan for projects on energy, water conservation, waste management and heat recovery. The centre was inaugurated on 15th February 2010 by Dr. Farooq Abdullah, Honorable Minister for New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Govt. of India. The research centre consists of solar concentrating collectors, trigeneration plant, Kalina cycle system, solar desalination, solar cooling, solar thermal power generation, cooling cogeneration, solar tracking devices, solar Stirling engine, solar dryer, solar lighting, solar PV power plant, fuel cell setup, 100 kW biomass power plant using gasifier, biogas power plant, pyrolysis plant, bio energy technologies etc.
The School of Mechanical Engineering (SMEC), one of the eleven constituent Schools of VIT, consists of the oldest and best performing departments of VIT. The School has got well qualified and experienced faculty members with Ph.D. from reputed institutes like IITs and IISc. Faculty members are actively involved in executing a number of R & D and consultancy projects for Government agencies like Department of Science and Technology (DST), Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Ministry of New and Renewable Energy Sources (MNRE), Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and also many reputed industries. The school offers B.Tech. M.Tech., M.Tech. (by Research) and Ph.D. programmes. B.Tech. Mechanical Engineering and Energy Engineering programmes are accredited by ABET (USA).

About Vellore

Vellore is a city and the administrative headquarters of Vellore District in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Vellore is the base of two of India's top ten educational institutions - the VIT UNIVERSITY and CMC hospital. Other than being a cultural and educational hub, Vellore is also a major tourist attraction with places like Vellore Fort, Jalakandeswarar temple, Golden temple and Amirthi Zoological park for visits. Vellore is just 137 kms from Chennai and 212 kms from Bangalore providing excellent connectivity. The presence of several new 4 star and 5 star hotels in the city makes it a comfortable place to stay as well. The city is very pleasant during February.

ICTARGET-2017

Developing suitable energy conversion configurations/products to meet the human needs at domestic, industrial and commercial levels is the current need for a sustainable development. Renewable energy has a greater role in economic growth and sustainability of a nation. Sustainable technologies are essential to make use of renewable energy sources – solar, wind, biomass etc. Renewable energy and sustainable technologies are needed for the meeting the demands on increasing energy requirements. The conference provides an opportunity for research scholars, academicians and engineers from all over the world to share and discuss their latest research findings and developments in green energy technologies. The conference will provide the opportunity to flourish the knowledge and help the participants to pursue research successfully in these areas.
