Responsibilities:

• Monitor, collect, and analyze data/information on biofuel industry developments (predominantly focused on North America but will include work on other regions), including supply & demand growth, regulatory/policy changes, developments by competitor, production economics, and trade implications of shifting supply/demand between countries.
• Develop and provide industry-leading expertise on the US Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and California Low Carbon Fuel Standard, and related regulations and mandates in North America.
• Model and forecast low carbon fuel markets at the country level, including supply/demand, blend levels, prices, and regulatory assumptions, incorporating learnings from analysis of the market environment. US modeling/forecasting will include significant emphasis on RFS RIN balances and prices, the California LCFS and similar for other regulatory credits.
• Products covered will include ethanol, biodiesel, renewable diesel, renewable natural gas and other biofuels, as well as the agricultural (and other) feedstocks they are derived from. Moreover, the work will include research on e-fuels, hydrogen and the impact of electric vehicles. The analyst will also become familiar with the gasoline/diesel/general road fuel markets.
• Support efforts to streamline overall data gathering and handling for the renewable fuels services, and help coordinate data and information sharing with other teams within Stratas Advisors.
• Provide both analytical support and market insight for strategic consulting engagements on an ad hoc basis.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree is required. Master’s degree and/or work experience (in lieu of advanced degree) in engineering, economics, energy, data analytics, or forecasting is a plus.

• Strong quantitative skills are critical. Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft Office suite applications is also required.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Proven problem-solving/critical thinking skills.
• Basic understanding of the energy industry including some familiarity with fuel technologies, battery technologies, renewable energy, supply chain, industry trends, and/or regulatory environment.
• Understanding of general economics and familiarity with international markets.
• Experience working in a fast-paced environment with rapidly shifting priorities such as consulting is desirable.
