Work from renewable energy to 11.5 million people

The employment provided by the renewable energy sector in the world reaches 11.5 million as of the last year end, the solar energy that created 33 percent of this was the leading sector. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Renewable Energy and Employment-Year Evaluation Report; employment in global renewable energy sector has consistently grown since 2012. According to the report; about 7.3 million people in 2012, when working in the renewable energy sector, this figure rises to 11.5 million in 2018, as of the last year end. Thus, more than 500 thousand people in the renewable energy sector in the world last year. 63 percent of this increase took place in Asian countries. China is ranked first with about 4.4 million jobs in renewable energy sector, Brazil 1.1 million, India 824 thousand and US 756 thousand people, among the leading countries of the sector.

China in the sun, Brazilian employment leader in bioenergy
] Solar energy was ranked first in the renewable energy sector by creating 3.8 million of total employment. While China is the country that creates maximum employment in solar energy with 2.2 million, Japan, USA, India and Bangladesh followed this country. While watching the bioenergy sector with 3.5 million employment, Brazil, Indonesia, USA, Colombia and Thailand are ranked as the first five countries that provide maximum employment in this industry.

In hydroelectricity, while employing 2 million people in the world, China, India and Brazil provided 59 percent of employment in this area. Turkey, with about 40 thousand employment in the hydroelectric energy sector (in the earth 2), it was eighth country that creates maximum work in this field.

’Total employment can reach 30 million in 2030’]
]Francesco La Camera, General Director of IRENA, stated that renewable energy is employed in the energy market of developed and developing countries. La Camera; " Adopting new energy technologies, but also increases local income. Nowadays, if the number of countries leading to scale renewable energy is limited to several pieces, all countries can realize the potential of renewable energy, step by step to improve the development and local capacity of the industry sector. In this period, the world’s new type of coronavirus fights, La Camera spokes as follows: “Clean, sustainable energy supply, healthy and low-carbon employment is critical for our societies’ carbon-free transformation. Renewable energy has proved its cost efficiency and resistance during this secretion and economic crisis. Last year, renewable energy employment reached 11.5 million. If countries focus on energy conversion in this period, more benefits can be achieved in this field. According to the estimates of IRENA after coronavirus; 5.5 million new employment can be achieved in the global renewable energy sector in the next 3 years, and the total employment in the industry can reach 30 million in 2030.
