Biomass is organic matter like wood, forest residues or plant material widely used to generate energy for many countries worldwide – both for domestic consumption and at grid scale through power stations.

We are looking for a driven, passionate, and resourceful market analyst/reporter to join our team covering the biomass (wood pellet, wood chip and palm kernel shell) markets. The ideal candidate is innately curious and personable, able to quickly become a subject matter expert and lead coverage within the designated product portfolio. In addition, you must be interested in energy, policy and economics, enjoy people and build relationships.
