Mining union wants more efforts to unleash energy transition's job potentials

German industrial trade union in an effort to turn the country鈥檚 energy transition into a job-creating engine for Germany. "This government has to risk more transformation," said IG BCE President Michael Vassiliadis. Chancellor Angela Merkel鈥檚 recently formed 鈥渃limate cabinet,鈥 set up to devise policy to cut CO2 emissions, needs to focus more on support rather than demands in order to trigger a modernisation push in the country, Vassiliadis added. He warned that by 2050, the decline in employment in the energy and energy-intensive sectors would be relatively greater than that in all other economic sectors. A concerted political, economic and social effort is now needed to transform Germany into the technological leader of the transition, otherwise a great deal of 鈥済ood industrial work will be lost鈥, Vassiliadis stressed. The energy transition will only succeed if it presents new perspectives for both the economy and the public and not simply perceived as a job killer, he added. IG BCE represents a number of industrial sectors, including mining, chemicals, energy, plastics and mineral oil and gas.

From solar-panel cleaners to housing-insulation specialists and wind-turbine climbers, Germany's move to a low-carbon economy powered by renewable energy sources is shaping new businesses and the jobs market, but also leads to turmoil in whole industry sectors.
