Energy employment in fossil fuel and clean energy sectors, 2019-2022

Notes

Clean energy employment includes workers in bioenergy supply, nuclear and renewables for power generation, grids and storage, electric vehicles manufacturing, and energy efficiency. Estimates are modelled for 2020 to 2022 based on latest IEA energy balances and investment data, under the assumption that labour intensity and the job creation potential of new investment remain constant across years. Labour market disruptions associated with the Covid-19 pandemic made 2020 employment difficult to assess. Accordingly, 2020 estimates are indicative.
