Megan Monkman
Energy and Carbon Analyst
Biography
I am the Energy and Carbon Analyst working in the Net Zero team. My responsibilities are broad, covering reporting, modelling, auditing, policy and communications. I am responsible for carbon accounting of our scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and reporting internally, to the government and to the public. I am also responsible for energy management and analysis of our Cambridge site, our Antarctic Stations, the RRS Sir David Attenborough and our aircraft.
I am also responsible for the energy management of the estate and for the development and implementation of our energy auditing procedures. Additionally, I do modelling both of data and thermal modelling of the BAS estate. I manage the metering systems across our estate and was the project manager of the Cambridge site metering expansion.
I also work in policy development, as well as supporting feasibility studies and business cases. I am the project manager of the Climate4Change culture change programme, producing creative engagement materials, culture mapping and designing evidence-based behaviour change interventions.
I represent BAS at the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Environmental Professionals Group and Environmental Sustainability Group. I am a member of the Neurodiversity Network and the EDI Network and I am an Innovation Champion.
I previously studied Energy Engineering at the University of Exeter. This covered all aspects of the energy industry including the mechanical and electrical engineering elements of energy generation technologies; understanding and modelling renewable resources such as the marine environment and solar irradiation; energy policy, markets and law, among others. During this time, I completed internships with the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, completing data analysis and modelling for a first-of-its-kind small-scale tidal range scheme, and with TCarta, on product development and market research for their earth observation analysis services.
