We are seeking a Senior Associate with expertise in technical, analytical, and
project implementation aspects of hard-to-abate industrial sectors and/or
MSMEs, with a focus on reducing GHG and energy intensity. The role includes
advancing circular economy solutions, clean fuel adoption, and the transition
to renewable or electric-based thermal systems, along with performance analysis
and techno-economic assessment of low-carbon pathways. The ideal candidate will
have experience in modelling, research, and project execution, and will
contribute to research, policy inputs, and stakeholder engagement while
independently managing assignments, mentoring junior team members, and
delivering high-quality outputs aligned with organisational goals.

Responsibilities

* Lead and contribute to research on low-carbon and clean technology pathways
for decarbonising energy-intensive and MSME-based industries in India.
* Conduct techno-economic and performance assessments of clean technology
solutions for industrial processes in hard-to-abate sectors, including those
under the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS).
* Develop concept notes and methodologies for offset mechanisms within the
Indian and global carbon markets, including innovative ideas under IDC.
* Conduct detailed IN&OUT; mapping of Industrial sectors (prepare the profile
for product-mix, energy & emission, fuel mix, technology, stakeholders,
contribution to country’s economy, including the country’s NDC commitment if
any, Decarbonisation roadmap, etc.) forODA1 countries in Asia and Africa
continents, through source-driven desk-based research.
* Lead and contribute to advanced research on near-, mid-,



and long-term
decarbonisation measures, such as CCUS/CCS, hydrogen, electrification, circular
economy and recycling, and alternative fuels and feedstocks, across industrial
sectors, including innovative financial models.

clean technology pathways.
* Valuable understanding of industrial processes and associated energy and
emission reduction measures.
* Knowledge of the Indian carbon market (CCTS) and/or global mechanisms (e.g.
CDM, Gold Standard, Verra), as well as climate policies such as EU CBAM and
NDCs.
* Familiarity with industrial energy and emission norms, compliance
requirements, and sustainability reporting.
* Experience in developing high-quality research papers and technical reports.
* Exposure to stakeholder engagement, training delivery, or collaboration
with government/academic institutions (preferred).
