Xyntéo Analysis Services

Our analysts form a pivotal part of our team. Their work ensures that our low-carbon growth projects are founded on solid data. Xyntéo analysts are currently mapping emission hotspots in the energy value chain to try to integrate carbon into decision-making. They are assessing the carbon footprint of natural gas across its entire life- cycle to determine how it can help bring us closer to a low-carbon energy mix. They are trying to find out how businesses can grow without putting more carbon into the atmosphere.

We are engaged in an increasing number of large-scale projects with a range of international partners. To carry out this exciting work, we are recruiting talented, forward-thinking analysts with a solid understanding of environmental life-cycle assessment and life-cycle cost analysis, and the ability to develop and present projects and concepts to our partners and clients.
