We are looking for a highly motivated candidate to assess the integration of carbon capture technologies in cement plants from technical, techno-economic, and policy perspectives. The Intern will also engage with key stakeholders across the ecosystem to understand their perspectives, challenges, and requirements for enabling carbon capture deployment in the cement sector.

Responsibilities

• Assess the technical feasibility of integrating carbon capture technologies into cement plants, considering plant configurations, emission sources, and technology options.
• Conduct techno-economic assessments of carbon capture pathways, including capital and operating costs, energy requirements, and cost of CO₂ captured.
• Review relevant policies, regulations, and incentives influencing carbon capture deployment in the cement sector.
• Engage with stakeholders across the cement and CCUS ecosystem to understand implementation challenges, infrastructure needs, and opportunities for scale-up.
• Prepare technical reports, policy briefs, and presentations.

Qualifications

Pursuing a Master’s degree in Energy, Technology, Climate Change, Policy, or a related domain

Skill Set 

• Strong skills to develop recommendations on energy and carbon policy and regulatory frameworks.
• Excellent analytical and research skills.

Duration

2–3 months

We are seeking an Intern to support land-use and land-cover (LULC) classification and greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory development to establish a baseline and monitor changes in land use, carbon stocks, emissions, and removals at the Gram Panchayat level. The position will support climate mitigation and adaptation planning and carbon accounting and assist in identifying opportunities for emission reduction and

carbon sequestration. The role may include field surveys, stakeholder interactions, and coordination with project teams to support timely deliverables.

Responsibilities

• Conduct field surveys, GPS-based ground-truthing, and accuracy assessment of LULC maps for project locations.
• Support the development of a baseline for carbon stock/sequestration assessment for project landscapes using relevant IPCC guidelines and methodologies.
• Prepare GIS maps, carbon sequestration potential area maps, and calculation templates and contribute to technical reports.
• Coordinate with project teams, government departments, research institutions, and CSO partners.

Qualifications

Final-year students or recent graduates pursuing a master’s degree (or equivalent) in Agriculture, Climate Science, Environmental Science, Horticulture, Forestry, or a related discipline.

Skill Set

• Internship or short-term experience in the development of GHG inventories, including carbon emissions and carbon stocks (preferred).
• Basic understanding of LULC classification, Random Forest-based change detection, accuracy assessment, and ground-truth validation.
• Experience in QGIS, Google Earth Pro, and Microsoft Excel sheets.
• Teamwork and time-management skills, with ability to meet deadlines.
• Ability to read, speak, write, and understand Telugu (Preferred).

Duration

3–6 months
