Discover A Career in The
Low Carbon
Sector
Today, literally billions of pounds are being invested in Low Carbon and Renewable Energy projects
Achieving low carbon rates is a goal that connects just about every sector, but that’s especially true of sciences.
Industries that make money for the economy but produce much lower emissions than other trades are classed as low-carbon sectors. So, that includes parts of the nuclear, coatings, chemical, and life science sectors.
No two days are the same if you work in a low carbon sector, plus you get to work on green projects that really matter to the environment and planet. What’s not to like?!
How do science industries help with tackling carbon?
The UK chemicals sector is central to achieving net-zero (balancing the emissions released into the atmosphere with the amount absorbed or removed from it). It already makes and uses many of the technologies needed to lower carbon, so it’s an industry raring to get stuck in!
The coatings sector is also focussed on sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint. It is using sustainable materials, creating less waste, and recycling more instead of sending materials to landfill. Plus, coated items are more durable and less likely to need replacing.
Sustainability is at the heart of the life science sector too. More and more businesses are investing in renewables, constructing net zero buildings, and developing greener pharmaceuticals.
The energy produced by the nuclear sector will also be essential in the UK achieving net-zero targets and reducing the need for fossil fuels.
Are there jobs in the low carbon sector?
Yes! There’s a real issue with a lack of skills in this area, with many employers lacking staff with the relevant experience or understanding.
This means businesses have a real opportunity to invest in the next generation of highly skilled workers and train more people like you in work that benefits the environment and business.
Now is a brilliant time to work in a low-carbon sector and get in while the industry is finding its feet. It’s only going to get bigger!
