Thailand: Volunteer Needed for Map Geothermal Power Plants in Asia and the Pacific

Research Geothermal Power-plant and Energy Potential Data in Asia Pacific Region (UN ESCAP Thailand)

Volunteer needed for 6-10 hours per week over 5 weeks


The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) is mapping power plants across Asia and the Pacific, uploading new open access data to the Asia Pacific Energy Portal in support of knowledge sharing activities. This data enables ESCAP to capture a full picture of the energy sector and its development over time.

As a volunteer, you will be contributing data to our interactive energy infrastructure maps. The focus for this opportunity is on power plants in Asia and the Pacific. You will be asked to review an existing data set of geothermal power-plants, identify new power-plants, and fill in gaps in metadata. Additionally, you will be tasked with identifying geothermal energy potential maps that could be used by the portal for future analysis. You will be provided a set of instructions and can communicate with the ESCAP team through Slack and Trello platforms. Skype calls will also be necessary over the period of this work.
