About us:
Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP) plays a crucial role in shaping the future of carbon management in Europe. Their mission to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 and beyond, with a focus on carbon capture, removal, use, and storage (CCUS) technologies, is vital for the global fight against climate change.
Here’s a summary of the key points:
- Advisor to the EU: ZEP serves as a critical advisor to the European Union on industrial carbon management. This means they play a key role in guiding EU policy and strategies for achieving carbon neutrality.
- Mission: The goal is to accelerate the deployment of carbon capture, removal, use, and storage technologies to not only reach climate neutrality by 2050 but also to help achieve net negative emissions after that. This is crucial for combating climate change and limiting global warming.
- Broad Member Base: ZEP draws expertise and input from a diverse group of stakeholders, including energy companies, industrial companies, and those involved in infrastructure and equipment. This diversity helps ensure their solutions are well-rounded and practical.
- Technical Work & Policy Advice: ZEP’s efforts include comprehensive technical work and policy recommendations that inform both technological development and regulatory frameworks.
Policy Assistant role would involve a lot of valuable exposure to high-level policy discussions, especially around carbon capture and industrial carbon management. Organizing meetings for committees and working groups would be a key responsibility, requiring strong organizational skills and an understanding of the issues at hand.
In addition to this, supporting the Policy Manager would likely provide an opportunity to contribute to shaping EU policies that could have a significant impact on climate and energy strategies.
