Purpose

The

Industrial Sustainability (IS) team aims to support India’s low carbon growth

aspirations by advancing the uptake of green energy and resource efficiency

practices. The IS team is working on several different initiatives that include

energy transitions in the oil and gas sector, an assessment of alternative

fuels like green hydrogen and biofuels uptake across difficult-to-decarbonise

sectors in industry and mobility applications, developing optimal

decarbonisation trajectory for the steel and cement sector, assessing the

prospects on carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) in India and

characterising the industrial sector value chains to analyse various aspects

such as carbon footprint, financial strength, resource requirements, and jobs

supported.

The

IS team seeks to hire a highly committed candidate to build and expand our

programme in the above mentioned sectors as well as to support government

engagements. The candidate should be flexible to work on multiple projects in

parallel depending on the priorities of the team. This role demands high

quality research to provide direction, support, and insights to the policy

planners and industry captains towards decarbonisation options. The candidate

should have an active and self-directed interest towards the assessment and

production of alternative fuels including green hydrogen and derivatives,

biofuels, CCUS, industrial decarbonisation and other related sectors. She/he

should be able to perform resource assessments, material-energy balance,

techno-economic analysis, emissions analysis, scenario comparisons, etc. The

candidate should be willing to collaborate with other researchers in the

respective domain and independently drive collaboration with international

experts on the topic. Further, the candidate should have good oral and written

communication skills and have the capability to independently drive government

engagements, draft briefing notes and policy documents.
