This position will be for a fixed term (12 month) period with a start date in April 2023. Opportunities to extend this contract may become available.
 
You’re someone with a keen interest in decarbonization of industry and materials who is interested in understanding the role carbon capture can play in a clean energy future.

BNEF Team Ethos:

To succeed at BNEF we need people who can work in an independent manner and show initiative to develop their own viewpoints, yet be collaborative with colleagues. We don't rely on the status quo, we look for innovative yet pragmatic thinking that turns big ideas into real insights and impact. Working at BNEF sometimes feels chaotic; we need teams that are both dynamic and structured to generate the unique perspectives our clients really value. Our teams are diverse, creative, focused, and fun!

We will trust you to:

• Conduct research on the technology, policy and economic factors that will determine the adoption rate of carbon capture
• Perform quantitative analysis, market sizing, and forecasting using this data
• Focus on topics including: assessing the impact of government policies and subsidies on carbon capture economics, determining the competitiveness of carbon capture as a decarbonization technology, tracking new business models, and identifying promising early-stage technologies
• Gather and organize data sets pertaining to these topics
• Publish written research on topics as above
• Speak with industry figures and BloombergNEF clients to gather information and opinions
• Address client questions in a timely manner and present the team’s research to clients, prospective clients and at external conferences

We'll need you to:
