Abstract:

The third edition of the World Energy Employment (WEE) report examines the global energy employment environment as the transition progresses into a period of uncertainty. The report offers a detailed overview of energy employment, including estimates of the workforce's size and distribution across different regions, sectors, and technologies. The dataset provides in-depth information on workers across the entire energy value chain, encompassing fossil fuel supply, bioenergy, nuclear energy, low-emissions hydrogen, power generation, transmission, distribution and storage. It also covers key energy-related end uses, such as vehicle manufacturing and energy efficiency in buildings and industry. The report also assesses how energy labour requirements evolve to 2030 across various IEA scenarios.
