The RES-SKILL project has an objective to strengthen vocational education and training (VET) for coal workers to secure jobs in the renewable energy space. According to the initiative, the European Union’s carbon agenda will displace around 76 000 jobs in coal mines and coal power plants by 2025 and 154 000 jobs by 2030. However, growth in renewable energy will create new jobs in the energy sector. The programme notes a similar skillset between coal workers and those in the renewables sector. For example, some skills of coal workers, such as experience in hazardous environments as well as employment of manual and sophisticated technologies, are applicable in the solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind industries, especially for solar PV installers and technicians as well as for windfarm and wind turbine operators. In this regard, coal workers can more quickly transfer their skills, bypassing lengthy training of around two years for VET courses; instead, they might only need a short course or on-the-job training.

The project employs a three-step methodology : 1) identifying the main occupation profiles in the coal industry and renewables sector, 2) documentation of skills in the coal industry and renewables sector, and 3) development of transition profiles based on skills matching. As part of this initiative, the RES-SKILL project develops a tailored curriculum and training content to support the integration of coal workers in renewables jobs, supports VET providers integrate RES-SKILL materials into their offerings, and improves coordination between VET providers and employers to identify opportunities that facilitate coal workers transition to the renewables sector.

In particular, the project identifies synergies and misalignments on skills between the job descriptions of coal and renewables sector workers to better target training. It also creates tailored teaching materials that are offered as open education resources (so far in six languages) as well as develops self-assessment tools and skills portfolios to tailor retraining efforts. The project also develops resources to set up Joint Competence Centres to reorient the careers of coal workers. Target groups of the project include: VET providers; coal industry workers (especially lowskilled workers); companies, social partners, and worker associations; and VET authorities and career advisory organisations (including regional development agencies that oversee training programmes). The project is co-funded by the EU Erasmus+ Programme.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Nuclear power is growing in popularity once again as governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Several countries are now looking to develop or expand their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades. However, one challenge remains – nuclear waste. Disposing of waste materials from nuclear energy operations remains a complex task with no perfect solution. As countries worldwide have grown their nuclear power capacity, many governments are still struggling to decide on the best solution…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
