Cleanovators!:Outstanding Projects From The Global Cleantech Innovation Programme - India
It is our common mandate to promote sustainable industrial development of job creation and
employment generation and the Indian SME sector should realize the need for clean technology
adoption in industries so as to ensure fulfilment of committed goal of moving towards green
growth.
The ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) has taken such initiatives to
promote energy efficiency in the SME sector. One such initiative is the GEF-funded programme of
UNIDO called, the Global Cleantech Innovation Programme (GCIP) for SMEs, which aims at
identification and promotion of clean technology innovations in the SMEs. The project tries to
promote energy efficiency, renewable energy, waste to energy and water efficiency innovations
that are sustainable and reduce carbon footprint in the SMEs.
This book is the compilation of the many such innovation in the field of Cleantech, which have
been identified and mentored under the programme. It is an important resource to assess the
depth, breadth and quality of Cleantech innovations occurring in the Indian SME sector.
I hope, it will catalyze our development sector professionals, policy makers, and researchers to
understand, create and support many more valuable innovations with clean technologies which
happen in the Indian landscape.

India is currently faced with a range of climate, energy and economic challenges. Climate change
is not the only reason to invest in the transition to a clean energy future; India is also entering an
era of resource scarcity of land, water and energy, given its burgeoning population, which needs to
be addressed given the aspiration and dreams of the billion people in the sub continent. In India
we feel that this challenge can be met by a combination of good public policy and the right business
innovation and investment environment. Therefore you see the new government in India promot-
ing this new ecosystem. We believe that solutions do exist and can be enacted with the right combi-
nation of political, social and financial will.
Agencies,governments, investors andbusinessneed toproactivelycollaborateasforcesfacilitating
this transition towards a sustainable energy future on a global level. Technology start-ups provide
one of the most important vehicles for developing and commercializing innovation to meet these
challenges, while generating value for investors. From research to commercialization, the life cycle
of high-impact technologies include many players, from governments and universities to investors
and multi- national corporations. In the center of this matrix is the entrepreneurial start- up, the
vehicle for taking an idea from the lab to the market. Innovation companies come in many differ-
ent forms. Most common are companies introducing incremental innovations; those transferring
technological applications from one industry or geography to another; and those presenting
business model innovations. Completely new breakthrough companies are rare, though they do
exist.
Political debate sometime focuses on sustainability versus economic value creation on a global,
national, and company level. Yet the reality is that individuals, multinationals, and governments
are waking up to the need for renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainable solutions in all
sectors of the economy. India has also understood this paradigm and therefore has set one of the
most ambitious targets in new and renewable energy sector in the world. This hopefully will drive
a growing market for new and innovative technologies and services. Similarly the tough economic
climate, which is likely to overhang much of the twenty first century where jobs and capital are in
short supply, it is imperative for countries to think about fostering economic growth and try and
give rise to a new set of companies in proportion to their size.
PREFACE
03

The cleantech revolution is happening because it is economically a must, and now the countries of
the world want to be part of the ecosystem that facilitates this revolution both in the interest of the
world and its own economic interest. Therefore understanding these innovation processes and the
cleantech market is a must and should complement the establishment of national climate targets
and international carbon thresholds.
In order to accelerate progress in the area of Cleanspace, India also needs to look at conditions
surrounding our solution providers. And in this very context, the Government of India saw the
virtue of the GCIP of UNIDO for SMEs, that was trying to leverage the power of entrepreneurship
to address the most important challenges of energy and environment. As the Cleantech Open USA
was the knowledge partner of UNIDO for the programme, we saw lot of merit in the GCIP
programme bringing exposure to the SMEs. It also provided a platform where the countries could
share their best practices and challenges. Partnering the Ministry of MSME, the Programme in
India has incentivized clean technology adopters among MSMEs by providing a platform for
recognition, reward, and replication. The annual competition run by the CGIP to find clean
innovations, examples of which you will find in this e-book, has been a great success. The
programme leverages the US-based Cleantech Open’s model to find, fund and foster entrepre-
neurs with innovations that can address today’s energy and environment challenges.
This book is a handy resource for those looking for a bird’s eye view of the breadth and range of
clean technology innovations currently being fostered by the GCIP in four crucial areas: energy
efficiency, waste-to-energy, renewable energy and water efficiency. Going through the summaries,
one can see the glimpses of the Indian innovative streak being manifested time and again, and also
an acutely aware and informed ecosystem of grassroots innovators and entrepreneurs that are
working on solving some of the most urgent and complex problems revolving around energy use
in various industry verticals. I hope the Programme will be able to contribute to the ecosystem by
sensitizing the stakeholders about the vibrancy in the innovation environment not only in the R&D
institutes, engineering colleges but also in the existing SMEs from where many of these innova-
tions have been picked up.

The Global Cleantech Innovation Programme (GCIP) for SMEs is a global multi-stakeholder
partnership that leverages the power of innovation and entrepreneurship to address the world’s
most urgent energy, environment and economic challenges. The United Nations Industrial Devel-
opment Organization (UNIDO) with support provided by the Global Environment Facility (GEF)
is currently implementing the GCIP in seven countries namely Armenia, India, Malaysia, Pakistan,
South Africa, Thailand and Turkey. GCIP India was launched in May 2013 as a partnership
between the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME), GEF and UNIDO, with the
Federtion of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) as main executing partners. The
Programme aims at creating an ecosystem of clean technology innovations in the MSME sector to
catalyze low carbon industrial growth in the country.
The Ministry of MSME has announced an ambitious and commendable vision for all twenty-six
million micro, small and medium enterprises in India to adopt energy efficiency and clean technol-
ogy measures by 2025. In achieving this goal, technology, business, and policy innovations will be
crucial. To support the Indian government as well as other countries in achieving this vision,
UNIDO has developed the GCIP – a platform to encourage the emergence of a formalized,
structured, enabling ecosystem for promoting clean technology innovations in the SME sector.
While SMEs in India are leading market players in clean technology innovations, much of their
effortsdonotreceiverecognitionnortranslateintobusinessopportunities.Therefore,akeycontri-
bution of the GCIP platform is in its ability to link other ongoing initiatives and bring innovators,
entrepreneurs and investors on a common platform to provide opportunities for collaboration and
synergies.
As in other GCIP countries, GCIP India employs a competition-based approach to identify the
most promising innovators across the country, while its business acceleration programme
supports, promotes and “de-risks” the participating innovators and connects them to potential
investors, customers, and partners.
INTRODUCTION
05

This e-book demonstrates how Indian MSMEs are buzzing with cleantech ideas and innovations,
and showcases that the GCIP has had considerable impact in creating a sustainable innovation
ecosystem to nurture ideas and prototypes. In doing so, the GCIP has highlighted and enhanced
green aspects of Indian MSMEs, and has also prepared Indian entrepreneurs to leverage invest-
ment and outreach from the emerging global cleantech market.
As GCIP India heads into its third year, results have been extremely positive and encouraging with
