The Philippines’ Green Jobs Act of 2016 was a major piece of legislation designed to create and maintain jobs in the emerging green economy. It identifies skills needs, develops training programmes, and trains and certifies workers for jobs in a range of industries related to sustainable development and the transition to a green economy. It offers financial support for the creation of green jobs, including generous tax deductions for skills training programmes.

The Act lays out a cross-agency effort to implement its goals. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) was tasked with developing a National Green Jobs Human Resource Development Plan on the development and deployment of the public and private sector labour forces. The plan includes programmes and projects related to basic and higher education as well as technical-vocational training.

The DOLE, together with the Philippine Statistics Agency, maintains a database of green jobs as well as a list of companies that are expected to create new clean energy jobs in support of skills training assessments and certifications. The Department of Finance administers financial incentives (including new tax incentives introduced in the law) to qualified people and businesses engaged in registered activities.

Several education departments and authorities oversee development and implantation of curricula and certifications for skills needed for a clean energy transition, while the Department of Trade and Industry established a special business facilitation programme for people and businesses that create green jobs. Other governmental departments also ensure mainstreaming of green jobs in sectoral development plans, such as transport, sustainable tourism and green buildings.

The U.S. Army Just Called China’s Bluff in the Rare Earth War

Just recently, in a span of about six weeks, one impressive company was selected by the U.S. Army to build and operate rare earth processing facilities on an American military base…the first time the Army has ever done this. That same company closed $100 million in institutional financing, giving it a war chest of roughly $130 million. It was also formally added to the Russell 3000 Index. And it locked in MOU’s for feedstock agreements covering billions of tonnes of rare earth-bearing material from sources across Wyoming, Appalachia…

Oil Prices Ignore the Warning Signs in Physical Markets

Oil price movements since the start of March this year have become the topic of dozens of discussions. Many have been puzzled by futures prices and why they haven’t gone through the roof given the severe disruption in Middle Eastern supply. It appears the reason is sheer optimism and a bet on market adaptability. However, there is a problem with that. Adaptability has limits. Many commentators like to compare the current oil price—and supply—situation to 2022, when Russia’s incursion into eastern Ukraine prompted an actual…

The World’s Largest Sand Battery Is Now Online

Modern power grids require a constant, real-time balance between supply and consumption. Unfortunately, the integration of wind and solar energy makes power grids unstable due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy generation. To prevent localized grid blackouts or harmful voltage spikes, utilities are increasingly pairing renewables with battery storage and/or rapid-response natural gas plants to smooth out fluctuating supply. However, Finland has now come up with a rather eccentric method to store excess renewable energy and release it…

Refined Fuels, Not Crude, Are Driving the Oil Market Crunch

Oil prices have just come off a fresh two-month high as the crude oil market has tumbled this week amid signals of de-escalation in the U.S.-Iran conflict. Despite the slump in crude prices and the extreme volatility in the past five months, the refined product market continues to tighten with refining margins at record highs because the supply of petroleum products is much tighter than crude supply. Refining margins held at record highs even as crude oil prices soared last week to $100 per barrel. That’s because global gasoline, diesel,…
