Risk Frameworks: Support the refinement of risk management frameworks, focusing on identifying systemic dependencies in the early stages of technology assessment.

3. Institutional Readiness & Standards Benchmarking

Regulatory Gap Analysis: Collaborate with diverse stakeholders to study international regulatory landscapes. You will help identify gaps in existing local frameworks and research enhancements required to align with global energy governance best practices.
International Standards Engagement: Engage with internal departments and research bodies to facilitate comprehensive reviews of emerging energy standards.
