Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of INR 13,970,000 (approximately $163,291 at the time of conversion) to the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi to support research led by Professors Rahul Goel and Gazala Habib on measuring emissions from commercial trucks in Delhi.
It is poorly understood how much emissions vary by vehicle age and weight. By measuring emissions in real-world conditions, Goel and Habib hope to address gaps in the current research.
This falls within Open Philanthropy’s focus area of global public health policy.
