1 CLEAN ENERGY CAREERS An Overview MVWIB Clean Energy Careers Workshop Series funded by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and the United States Environmental Protection Agency Produced by the Merrimack Valley Workforce Investment Board
2 Traditional Fossil Fuel Energy MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Overview
3 CLEAN ENERGY: Is renewable Like energy from the sun Energy from wind Energy from moving water Is efficient Like insulating homes & buildings Like using CFL bulbs not incandescent. MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Overview
4 Clean Energy Job: Solar Electricity Installers MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Overview
5 Home Energy Assessor Wind Turbine Installer MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Overview
6 Clean energy jobs are in all career paths Management/ Professional Technical (manufacture, installation, operations, maintenance) Engineering & Design Administration & sales Research & Development MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Overview
7 Find your clean energy career! MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Overview
8 Clean energy sources 3 minute video! MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Overview
9 Clean Energy Careers Why should I care? Workshop 1 cartoon MVWIB Clean Energy Careers Workshop Series funded by the MassCEC & the EPA. Produced by the Merrimack Valley Workforce Investment Board
10 The energy sector is huge. We use energy everywhere to heat & cool our buildings, power our vehicles, and make electricity. Mostly with conventional fuels. For example: Oil drilling to refine into gas To be used in our vehicles Mountaintop removal coal mining To power generators MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Workshop 1 To make electricity
11 A sampling of clean energy careers Solar cells for electricity Wind turbines for electricity Employment to develop, manufacture, install or maintain renewable energy sources to power all aspects of our lives. OR employment to use fossil fuels more efficiently. Hydropower for electricity Home assessment for energy conservation Electric car MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Workshop 1
12 W hy s h o u l d I c a r e? Job Growth Innovation Social inclusion Environmental protection Sustainable development MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Workshop 1
13 2013 MA Clean Energy Industry Report Key Findings 79,994 clean energy workers 11.8% employment growth rate % employment growth rate MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Workshop 1
14 We need to prepare for a future of innovation, and embrace and master new ideas. MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Workshop 1
15 Human Population Growth Over Time New industries will employ our growing population, contributing to social inclusion. MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Workshop 1
16 The ability of the environment to sustain us Biocapacity the ability of nature to produce materials for our use and to absorb our waste. Fossil fuels are a material the Earth produced, and Carbon Dioxide, created when fossil fuels are burned, is a waste product. Ecological footprint the amount of biological capacity humans actually use to maintain their lifestyle. OUR ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IS LARGER THAN THE EARTH S BIOCAPACITY!!!!! MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Workshop 1
17 If the world s population of 7 billion lived like: How many planets would we need? Worldfootprintnetwork.org MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Workshop 1
18 Fossil fuels accounted for 80% of US energy used in Energy Uses: cooking, heating and cooling, transportation, electricity, manufacture BURNING FOSSIL FUELS CREATES CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2 ) MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Workshop 1
19 MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Workshop 1 CO2 is a greenhouse gas contributing to global warming We re emitting CO2 faster than we can absorb it!
20 Increase of CO2 since MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Workshop 1
21 Now we re at 392 ppm of CO2 For most of Earth s history, our atmosphere has had an average of 275 parts per million of CO2. Since it is a greenhouse gas, it acts like a blanket that traps heat from the Sun. The more CO2 in the air, the thicker the blanket. Three hundred years ago humans started burning coal and oil, and the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere started going up. Now we re at 400 ppm and rising by about 2 ppm each year. 350 ppm is the safety limit for life on Earth. At 392 ppm and rising we re far beyond anything human civilization has ever seen before. MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Workshop 1
22 IN SUMMARY The main source of energy for all our needs is fossil fuels. This creates Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions, that contributes to climate change. We need to grow renewable energy sources to fuel all our needs so we can slow change to our climate. MVWIB MassCEC/EPA Clean Energy Careers Workshop 1
