Dr. Samar Das holds a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering,
M.Tech in Energy Technology and completed his PhD in Energy Science
and Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati. He
possesses a solid foundation and comprehensive knowledge of both
renewable and non-renewable forms of energy. During PhD, his research
was focused on the application of renewable fuels like biodiesel,
biogas, and producer gas and clean alternative fuels, such as methane,
hydrogen, carbon monoxide in compression ignition engines for
generation of decentralized power. His research work was a part of
project titled “Development of renewable energy technology package for
clean power generation in remote utility”, funded by Science
Engineering and Research Board (SERB), Govt. of India. He was involved
in analyzing the impact of clean fuels on diesel engine and published
research articles in highly reputed international journals. As a
project staff, he was also actively involved in a project funded by
Central Power Research Institute (CPRI), Govt. of India where his
research was dedicated to the utilization of biomass in a dual
fluidized bed gasification system for power generation. Throughout his
academic journey, he has developed strong analytical and
problem-solving skills, as well as a deep understanding of the
technical aspects of energy systems. He is well-versed in conducting
experiments, analyzing data and presenting research findings to
diverse audiences.
In his previous role, he was involved in developing concept notes and
proposals based on global carbon standard methodologies, focusing on
projects in clean cooking, biogas, and biochar. He was also involved
in delivering presentations to stakeholders, effectively communicating
complex aspects of carbon program and project development. This
experience has equipped him with a deep understanding of the technical
and strategic aspects of carbon project development.
