Energy Transitions Fellow

Developing the next generation of scholarship on the energy transition.

To effectively navigate energy transitions, policymakers need access to the best analysis and strategic insights. CSIS's Energy Security and Climate Change Program is launching an Energy Transitions Fellowship to address the pressing need for strategic insights in energy policy. This fellowship will:

  • Drive fact-based dialogue on energy transitions
  • Investigate energy systems' adaptation to societal needs
  • Convene diverse stakeholders to develop collaborative solutions

By bridging research, industry, and policy, the fellowship aims to shape the rapidly evolving energy landscape.

CSIS scholar Mathias Zacarias will be the inaugural energy transitions fellow. In this role, he will lead a project to assess America's potential to lead the development of lower carbon fuels for use in transport, industry, energy storage, and other key sectors. This work will help define the potential for the lower-carbon fuels to enhance energy security and reduce emissions, while establishing technological leadership for the United States and will provide crucial insights to drive innovation and help develop market-scalable approaches in this critical field.

The Energy Transition Fellowship was endowed through the generous support of Chevron.
