Project Officer Hydrogen (f/m/d)

Agora Industry

Agora Industry is pursuing the goal of achieving a climate-neutral industry sector. With around 50 employees at four locations worldwide, and a prospect of future growth, we combine research, dialogue, and public relations in our daily work to find answers to crucial questions. In doing so, we work closely with partners in numerous countries, and we act independently and free of economic or party-political interests. 
To become climate-neutral, the world will need significant volumes of renewable hydrogen and derivatives by 2050, some of which will likely be traded internationally. Key applications for renewable hydrogen are in industry, long-haul aviation/shipping and for backing up renewables in the power system. Connecting hydrogen supply and demand will need to be based on integrated infrastructure planning. To efficiently integrate renewable hydrogen in a renewable energy system, countries in Europe and abroad need sound and practical policy concepts. 
To strengthen our team for current and future projects, we are seeking a:
