To thrive as a Carbon Capture Intern, you should have a background in environmental science, chemical engineering, or a related field, and a foundational understanding of carbon capture and storage (CCS) principles. Familiarity with laboratory safety protocols, data analysis software (such as MATLAB or Excel), and instrumentation used in CCS research is often required. Strong communication, critical thinking, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively are essential soft skills for this role. These competencies are crucial for conducting experiments, analyzing data, and contributing effectively to research teams tackling complex environmental challenges.
