Green Energy Cluster Crosswalk

Green Jobs and the Ohio Economy is a report series that addresses short comings in green jobs pathways and green occupational knowledge & skill requirements. It provides students, job seekers, and employers with information on green career pathways.

This tool provides a crosswalk from general green energy clusters to detailed employment and wage trends at the NAICS 6-digit level. For more information on the how the clusters were identified and defined, see Green Jobs and the Ohio Economy: The Workforce Skills and Training Ohio Green Industries Need.

Step 1: Select an Energy Cluster

Advanced Energy: Replacement or modification of equipment that increases generation output without increasing carbon dioxide emissions; clean coal; advanced nuclear energy, etc.

Biosciences: processing agricultural products into biofuels and manufacturing products from organic materials, for example, soybean processing, ethyl alcohol manufacturing.

Energy Efficiency: increasing energy efficiency (broadly defined), such as LEED certified design/construction, residential window retrofitting, and smart grid.

Manufacturing Green Products and/or Green Technology: producing goods used in renewable power generation like turbines, and, for example, producing environmental and energy controls and testing equipment.

Renewable Energy and Alternative Fuels: developing and using energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal, and landfill gas and municipal solid waste.

Research Design and Consulting Services: energy consulting or research and development in the fields of biotechnology, engineering, and physical and life sciences, for example, related to reducing dependence on fossil fuels or increasing energy efficiency.
