Employment

Different indicators of the significance of hydrogen for the labor market at the district level are displayed.

Indikator

  • expand_more Hydrogen relevance
    info
    Demand-side hydrogen relevance shows how many jobs (in % of total employment) are available in a district in sectors that will be directly or indirectly affected by the use of hydrogen in the green transformation.
    • check Total
      info
      Current share of employees in all affected industrial and transport sectors.
    • Industry
      info
      Current share of employees in affected industrial sectors (sectors with high-temperature processes or material use of hydrogen).
    • Transport
      info
      Current share of employees in affected transport sectors (shipping, air transport, refueling).
  • expand_more District types
    info
    District types were defined by comparing the demand-side hydrogen relevance and the potential for hydrogen production.
    • check Heavy User
      info
      Heavy Users are districts with high demand relevance but relatively low production potential, such as most industrial centers. They will likely depend on hydrogen in the future but have little capacity to produce it themselves. For them, the transition to hydrogen processes and the development of import infrastructure is already a relevant issue.
    • check Powerhouse
      info
      Powerhouse districts have high potential but low hydrogen demand. They can strengthen their regional economy by installing more renewable energy facilities and building electrolysis capacities, primarily to supply hydrogen to the Heavy Users.
    • check Self-User
      info
      Self-users are districts that have both high demand relevance and high potential. They need to transition their production processes to hydrogen but have the potential to meet their demand with a regional supply if they build the necessary capacities locally.
    • check Observers
      info
      Observers are districts that have both low demand relevance and low potential. While the climate transformation presents challenges and opportunities for them in other areas, hydrogen is not a highly relevant issue for them at this stage.
  • expand_more Skill Gap
    info
    The skill gap refers to the difference between the required skill profiles for the future hydrogen economy and the current distribution of skills in the labor market. Labor markets with a smaller skill gap are better positioned for the development of a hydrogen economy.
    • Skill Gap Index
      info
      The Skill Gap Index shows in which districts the gap between the current and target distribution of skills needed in the hydrogen economy is smaller or larger than in other districts.
