The report requires a reliable data set that can be utilized to categorize employment in certain industries and occupations as energy jobs or non-energy jobs; and among those classified as energy jobs, jobs that are attributable to fossil energy sources versus renewable energy sources; and the actual fossil or renewable energy source that supports the job. The report will quantify and report on employment in the following activities: ?Electric Power Generation, differentiating between employment in the following types of electric power generation: Solar; Wind; Geothermal; Bioenergy/Biomass; Low-Impact Hydroelectric; Wave/Kinetic; Advanced/Low Emission Natural Gas; Nuclear; Fossil Fuel; and other generation. ?Electric Power Transmission, Distribution, and Storage, differentiating between Traditional Transmission and Distribution, Storage, and Smart Grid. ?Energy Efficiency, Including Heating, Cooling and Building Envelope, to include: Energy Star Appliances; light-emitting diode (LED), Computational fluid dynamics (CFL) and Other Efficient Lighting; traditional heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) goods and services; Energy Star/ High annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) HVAC; Renewable Heating and Cooling; and Advanced Building Materials/Insulation. ?Fuels, differentiating between jobs involved in Fossil Fuels, Corn Ethanol; Other Ethanol/Non-Woody Biomass, Woody Biomass, and nuclear. ?Motor Vehicles production, differentiating between Gasoline and Diesel Motor Vehicles (excluding freight trucking), Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles, Electric Vehicles, Natural Gas Vehicles, Hydrogen Vehicles, and Fuel Cell Vehicles. In addition, jobs and establishments will be reported by primary value chain activity, including: Research and Development; Manufacturing; Sales and Distribution; Installation, Repair, and Maintenance; and Professional Services.
