Project Description
The Energy Systems Evaluation Unit of the Institute, comprising about 30
staff, supports the development, implementation and monitoring of the
European Energy Technology Policy – a key pillar for an integrated Energy
and Climate Policy for Europe -, through its lead function in SETIS, the
information system of the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan
(setis.ec.europa.eu).
The ESE Unit is looking for a highly motivated and dynamic colleague to
contribute to its work in supporting the Commission’s activities in the area
of carbon capture and storage technologies in the frame of the EU’s
Strategic Energy Technology Plan and in particular on CO2 storage.
The tasks will include:
• Collection of data on CO2 storage capacity across Europe and their
interpretation in a comparable manner
• Development of a methodology for estimating CO2 storage capacity
in depleted hydrocarbon fields and aquifers
• development of a GIS-based interactive database of CO2 storage
capacity in Europe, that will be hosted by the SETIS website and
provide a continuously updated European CO2 storage atlas
• Development of a methodology for reviewing CO2 storage permit
applications
• Analysis of risk of leakage from CO2 storage sites
The drafting of reports and scientific publications are an integral part of the
required tasks.
This fellowship requires dynamism and initiative and it offers a number of
varied and interesting tasks in a friendly and well integrated Unit to a
motivated, flexible and reliable colleague. Joint Research Centre
