Employment with renewable energies

Workers on solar panels

En RenovablesVerdes can find endless news about renewable energy, from projects with great ambition such as that of "America's First Solar City, Babcock Ranch" to innovation ideas such as "Solar energy ... with rain !. The new solar cell with graphene ". In other words, in the renewable energy employment is already seen more continuously.

Today more than 9,4 million people in the world are working currently in the renewable energy sector, within which we can see that some do it in photovoltaic solar energy with 2,8 million people, wind energy with 1 million or in biofuels with 1,6 million.

Esto confirms the vigor of this industry that in the end it is relatively new if we compare ourselves with others. At the same time, it reflects that since 2015 renewable energies have had an increase of 5%.

China, Brazil, the United States, India, Japan and Germany currently have the highest amount of renewable energy. On the other hand, Europe continues to resist with a strong market despite the withdrawal of subsidies in the UK for solar and wind developments.

The solar market has increased in installed capacity a 15% in 2015 and regarding the installed capacity of wind energy is led by Europe with Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and France as the main countries.

China says goodbye to coal

You already know all the troubles of air and soil pollution that China has with its long dependence on the carbon, that's why they are betting a lot on renewable energies and in fact leads the world of renewable employment Worldwide. That is taking it seriously!

They have managed to give employment to 3,5 million people in the sector, in addition China contributed last year to more than one third of global capacity of renewable energies.

Moreover, the rise of solar energy continues in this country and consequently a very considerable decrease in chronic air pollution from coal is expected.

So less coal and more renewable energy equals better quality of air and life and more jobs. Not bad that account!

Europe slowed down but keeps moving forward

With approximately 10 years of growth, Europe has experienced a major slowdown in renewable energy developments in at least the last two years.

This is mainly due to the political change referring to market saturation and government subsidies.

However, all is not lost because the Figures show that the renewable energy industries are well established and strong in their market, especially the energies used by the Sun and the wind.

In addition, some projects are already moving and new and innovative technologies are implemented, so that trained personnel are required and employment in these sectors is increasing.

New markets and more capacity

We may find ourselves on a very hot streak with an excellent job opportunity.

On what do I base myself to say this?

It's simple, the important and most essential issue in this sector is get optimization of plants that exist and are active for get the most out of it possible from existing developments.

As a result of this, there is a constant demand of asset managers, analysts, site administrators, as well as technicians who work directly or indirectly for the renewable energy sector.

The market grows and sets a trend important that in addition to providing employment in the aforementioned, they give us interesting job prospects and specializations in the waste energy such as anaerobic digestion (abbreviated as AD), biomass and gasification.

biomass employment

For this growth we can say that environmental regulations have influenced notably, we have for example regulations that restrict landfills.

The study found that they are building Worldwide small and medium-sized bioenergy plants, which will also be new sources of employment.
