We are looking for an Analyst to lead research and modelling on emission reduction in India’s thermal power sector. The role involves analysing global emission trends and evaluating international technologies and regulatory frameworks for their applicability in the Indian context. You will contribute to the development of India-specific emission reduction strategies by conducting technology feasibility assessments, abatement cost analyses, and evaluating social and environmental impacts. The position also includes designing a standardised proforma to collect and analyse plant-level emission data, supporting India’s 2030 and 2070 decarbonisation goals.

Responsibilities

• Analyse global and national emission trends of thermal power plants and benchmark India’s performance against international standards.
• Evaluate emission control technologies, policies, and regulatory frameworks adopted by leading countries such as China, the United States, and Russia.
• Conduct detailed assessments of India’s thermal power sector, including emission profiles, efficiency levels, and abatement potential.
• Develop India-specific, phased emission reduction strategies aligned with national and global climate targets.
• Perform technology feasibility and abatement cost analyses for advanced and low-emission thermal technologies.
• Assess the social and environmental impacts of proposed mitigation measures and recommend just transition pathways.
• Design and implement a standardised proforma to collect, verify, and analyse plant-level emission data from public and private utilities.
• Collaborate with government agencies, utilities, and research partners to ensure data robustness, analytical accuracy, and policy relevance.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in electrical, mechanical, energy, or environmental engineering or a Master’s degree in power systems, energy policy, or sustainability (preferred), with 2–4 years of experience in power sector modelling, emission assessment, or energy policy research.

Skill Set

• Strong understanding of thermal power plant operations, emission processes, and control technologies such as FGD, SCR, supercritical systems, and carbon capture and storage (CCS).
• Proficiency in energy and emission modelling tools (e.g., GridPath, PyPSA, or equivalent analytical platforms).
• Knowledge of global and national policy frameworks, including IEA Net Zero scenarios, UNFCCC methodologies, and India’s CCTS and PAT schemes.
• Experience in data analysis, techno-economic assessment, and marginal abatement cost (MAC) modelling.
• Ability to design standardised data-collection templates (proformas) and manage large, multi-source datasets.
• Strong skills in policy research, benchmarking, and technical report writing for government or multilateral projects.
• Familiarity with environmental and social impact assessments (ESIA) in the power sector.
• Excellent communication, analytical, and stakeholder coordination skills for engagement with utilities, regulators, and consultants.

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate to assess policies and regulatory aspects related to sustainable carbon and green energy/fuels.

Responsibilities

• Conduct policy and regulatory research on sustainable carbon and energy/fuels for decarbonisation.
• Provide recommendations on sustainable carbon technologies.
• Assess mitigation measures by outlining opportunities, barriers, and policy implications for identified sustainable technologies.
• Prepare technical reports, research papers, and presentations.

Qualifications

Pursuing a Master’s degree in energy, technology, climate change, or related policy domains.

Skill Set

• Proficiency in understanding biomass and energy/fuel policies and regulations.
• Strong ability to develop recommendations in energy and carbon policy and regulation.
• Excellent analytical and research skills.

Duration

3–6 months (full-time internship)
