Position
Global Energy Monitor is seeking an experienced Project Manager to join the Heavy Industry Program to lead the development of a global inventory of chemical plants that will cover key attributes such as plant name location owner and the chemical products produced. This inventory will serve as a starting point for a potential future global chemicals tracker. As the field and number of organizations working in the chemicals sector expands GEM will gradually expand its collaborations and analytical products to include the chemicals sector.
In addition to this new chemicals focus area theHeavy Industry research program develops and analyzes open source data on other heavy industry assets.

To meet that challenge Global Energy Monitor is creating trackers and other tools to provide detailed information on energy facilities sponsors and financing.
Heavy industry accounts for 22 of global emissions and onethird of global energy use with steel cement and chemicals accounting for 70 of these industrial emissions. In support of building a sustainable energy future Global Energy Monitors Heavy Industry Program currently encompasses several global trackers for iron and steel cement and concrete and iron ore mine assets as well as other related projects (such as captive power tracking) partnerships (Net Zero Steel Asset Impact Climate Trace coalition Global Steel Cost Tracker Global Steel Transformation Tracker RENEWIndustry etc) and data collectives (Steel Data Network).
