GREEN ECONOMY OCCUPATIONS Increased Demand Occupations Electricians, Environmental Scientists, Industrial Machinery Mechanics, etc. Enhanced Skills Occupations Construction Laborers, Machinists, Industrial Engineering Technicians, etc. New and Emerging Occupations Chief Sustainability Officer, Energy Auditor, Biofuels Production Managers, etc.
WHAT IS “WASTE-TO-ENERGY?” Conversion of non-recyclable waste materials into heat, electricity or fuel Renewable energy source Reduction of carbon emissions compared to fossil fuel energy sources Reduced reliance on fossil fuels Reduced methane emissions from landfills
TODAY’S WASTE-TO-ENERGY
WTE: BIOMASS
WTE: THERMAL GASIFICATION & PYROLYSIS
WTE: LANDFILL GAS CAPTURE
WTE: BIOMASS TO HYDROGEN
WTE: ANAEROBIC DIGESTION
WTE: BIODIESEL GENERATION
OPERATION WTE PLANT Tracy Biomass Plant (Tracy, California) Privately owned biomass waste-to-energy • plant Long-term agreement to sell power to • PG&E Direct employment: 24 • Indirect employment: 160 (fuel supply • collection, processing, transport)
PILOT WTE PLANTS CleanWorld (Gold River, CA) Ener-Core Power (Irvine, CA) EPT (Visalia, CA) Emerging Technologies—Urban X Renewables, PowerWaste Gasification
WHAT ARE WTE JOBS? Jobs include: construction workers, truck drivers, salespersons, scientists, manufacturing workers, engineers, cost estimators, etc. Most of these jobs will be middle- skill jobs which require more than high school but less than college degree

CHALLENGES: REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS Pyrolysis and Gasification uses combustible gases in the absence or slight presence of air and oxygen Anaerobic Digestion - Implementation difficult due to costs and emissions controls. There are no incentive programs for anaerobic digestion of MSW Landfill Gas to Energy - Possible penalties from vinyl chloride contamination from California landfill gas – not applicable to out of state gas.
CHALLENGES: ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES Current renewable “closed-loop” technologies are still being developed Advanced technologies require process-specific feedstock WTE start-ups may deplete funding prior to realizing profits
CHALLENGES: EMPLOYMENT Renewable and mass burn facilities directly employ 59, mostly “low” skill occupations requiring only OJT—which is a role WIBs can help play Developers of advanced technologies are well-educated and experienced professionals Lower skilled labor is not required until a project reaches functionality
