Research and Markets has released a report titled “Green Jobs: Building a New Energy Workforce”. Jobs that are involved in protecting ecosystems or wildlife in order to reduce energy usage and pollution and to bring down the rate of carbon emissions are called green jobs. This report provides information about industries offering green jobs and other places where green jobs are available.
Green jobs in the renewable energy sector are expected to increase and they are concentrated in the energy efficiency sector in America’s energy economy. The energy efficiency sector is involved in modifying the designs of homes and businesses in order to consume less energy and to develop and manufacture products that help in saving energy.
The renewable and clean energy sectors are involved in creating, installing and maintaining technologies that help in generating energy from naturally renewable resources that also prevents the emission of greenhouse gases, which play a vital role in global warming.
Solar, wind, hydropower and geothermal are the renewable energies. In the future, a part of the world’s energy supply is expected to come from energy sources that either give out less carbon emissions or possess no carbon emissions. These energy sources include coal with carbon sequestration, nuclear and natural gas cogeneration units.
An increasing number of green jobs will be available in occupations that require a professional certificate, one or two years of post-secondary education or an apprenticeship. Apart from this, green jobs will also be available at all educational levels and in a wide range of industries.
