• Perform preliminary analysis of low-carbon technologies in terms of technological capability, cost, scalability, and any key barriers.
• Build and manage a large database of best practices in emerging energy efficiency and energy supply technologies, including cost data, energy demand, savings potentials, and state-wide economic projections.
• Identify and analyze policies and policy instruments that best support greenhouse gas reduction goals.
• Work closely with energy experts and lab technical staff to include and develop most up-to-date information and analysis.
• Periodically present scenario/modeling results to project sponsors and document project progress/milestones.
Qualifications
• Bachelor degree in engineering or physical sciences, and 2-5 years of relevant work experience.
• Excellent written and communication skills.
