Zenon Research is a Paris-based think-tank and NGO in partnership with Mines Paris/PSL conducting prospective analyses on emerging climate technologies that can help to reduce GHG emissions or remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Our work is rigorously based on the scientific literature (IPCC, IEA, scientific articles) and mainly consists in analysing the role of technologies in climate scenarios, assessing their deployment and decarbonisation potentials, highlighting their technical characteristics… Show more Zenon Research is a Paris-based think-tank and NGO in partnership with Mines Paris/PSL conducting prospective analyses on emerging climate technologies that can help to reduce GHG emissions or remove CO2 from the atmosphere. Our work is rigorously based on the scientific literature (IPCC, IEA, scientific articles) and mainly consists in analysing the role of technologies in climate scenarios, assessing their deployment and decarbonisation potentials, highlighting their technical characteristics and economic aspects, as well as the related limiting factors (resources, regulations) and impacts (societal, environmental). We publish reports, policy briefs and visual explainers aiming at a wide variety of decisionmakers (corporates, investors, entrepreneurs, policymakers) and organise conferences and workshops on a regular basis to both present the results of our analyses and create momentum around the French climate tech and innovation ecosystem. Key topics I have worked on: - Metallic resources in the low-carbon energy transition - Carbon neutrality - Carbon dioxide removals (CDR) - CO2 capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) - Carbon credits, certificatio mechanisms - Public policies, net-zero strategies - Innovation dynamics and mechanisms in the low-carbon transition - Industry decarbonisation (cement) Show less Zenon Research is a Paris-based think-tank and NGO in partnership with Mines Paris/PSL conducting prospective analyses on emerging climate technologies that can help to reduce GHG emissions or remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

Master's thesis

Topic: Energy Technology Suitability Assessment for Sustainable Energy Supply in Rural Areas With over 840 million people living without access to electricity in 2017, the battle against energy poverty is currently one of the major concerns of sustainable development. Universal access to modern energy is formulated in the United Nations’ seventh Sustainable Development Goal (SDG7) as a crucial target to reach by 2030. This thesis examines technologies for electricity supply in… Show more Topic: Energy Technology Suitability Assessment for Sustainable Energy Supply in Rural Areas With over 840 million people living without access to electricity in 2017, the battle against energy poverty is currently one of the major concerns of sustainable development. Universal access to modern energy is formulated in the United Nations’ seventh Sustainable Development Goal (SDG7) as a crucial target to reach by 2030. This thesis examines technologies for electricity supply in sub-Saharan African rural areas, which constitute the first global hotspot of energy poverty. The focus is set on mini-grids, a decentralized electrification pathway based on small to medium-scale systems of energy production that is frequently mentioned as a well-adapted option for remote areas. A Multiple-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) framework is developed to examine the relevance, in that context, of eight technologies for electricity generation. A set of fifteen indicators is defined to capture the performance of the considered technologies along four sustainability dimensions, namely technical, economic, environmental and socio-institutional. Different weighting systems are applied to the indicators to highlight the dynamics of the assessed technologies under a variety of scenarios. It is found that overall, hydropower has the most stable performance, closely followed by wind power. Diesel generators and fuel cells rank last, respectively, for their high environmental burden and their lack of maturity. The other technologies show varied performances depending on the chosen hypotheses. The reliability of the obtained results could be improved by using more specific data as the chosen indicators are very sensitive to geographic variations and particular parameters such as the size of the considered systems. The developed set of indicators and methodology could be further applied to finer geographic scales and possibly derived to assess related technologies such as cooking fuels.
