Intern (m/f/d) Policy at the International Power-to-X Hub on Climate Protection with Green Hydrogen and PtX

On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), the International PtX Hub (https://ptx-hub.org/) promotes renewable Power-to-X to reach climate goals and full defossilisation. The PtX Hub acts as a centre of expertise and collaboration for innovative and sustainable green hydrogen and Power-to-X value chains. The aim is to build and foster strong networks with industry, academia, administrations, and civil society in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. The PtX Hub focuses on Power-to-X for sustainable aviation and shipping, on developing country-specific Power-to-X concepts, facilitating stakeholder dialogues, policy and regulatory advice and capacity sharing through trainings and a Train-the-Trainer programme.
You will join the policy team of the PtX Hub which stays up to date on policy regulations in Germany and the EU, advises our partner countries in setting up a regulatory framework for the evolving PtX-Market, upholds sustainability criteria by applying its EESG-framework and facilitates PtX-trade.

As part of the policy team, you will be responsible for the following tasks during the internship:
