Organisation
The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is a key player in research, development and innovation in four main areas :
• defence and security,
• nuclear energy (fission and fusion),
• technological research for industry,
• fundamental research in the physical sciences and life sciences.
Drawing on its widely acknowledged expertise, and thanks to its 16000 technicians, engineers, researchers and staff, the CEA actively participates in collaborative projects with a large number of academic and industrial partners.
The CEA is established in ten centers spread throughout France

Job title
Implementation of a Web3 application for green energy certificates H/F
Subject
The main feature of Web3 applications is the capability of tracking data ownership in a decentralized way. This opens to new possibilities yet to be fully explored and exploited. Web3 applications can apply to finance, digital credentials, goods tracking, audit, etc.
In the context of this intership we want to exploit Web3 capabilities to green energy tokenization and ownership, aiming at having a useful impact on the current energy consumption system.
More into details, users can sign contracts for green energy supply and obtain green tokens or certificates when they consume green energy. An off-chain dApps is in charge to monitor the blockchain to produce certificates that attest green consumpions and if required, allows to verify and audit the blockchain to verify the validity of a given certificate.
The solution specification is mostly defined and will be provided to the intern by Blockchain experts.

Job description
Objective:
This internship aims to put in place a Web3 application to track green energy consumption, produce green certificates and audit them. The successful candidate will join the Laboratory for Trustworthy, Smart and Self-Organizing Information Systems[1] (LICIA) at CEA LIST.
Methodology:
The intern will have the following responsibilities:
(1) Prepare a state-of-the-art on similar solutions and how audit is perfomed in the Web3 context.
(2) Become familiar with Solidity (Eth 2.0 blockchain) and the Web3 stack.
(3) Implement the back-end of the Web3 application (on-chain and off-chain).
(4) Implement the fron-end of the Web3 application.
(5) Evaluate the solution.
