We are proud to share that Professor Ana Flávia Nogueira (Unicamp), researcher and director of CINE – Center for Innovation on New Energies, was one of only 24 researchers worldwide — and the only representative from Latin America — selected for this recognition.

Professor Nogueira was honored as the corresponding author of the letter “In Situ PL Tracking of Halide Exchange at 3D/QD Heterojunction Perovskite Solar Cells” published in June 2023. The study, co-authored by several CINE members, highlights the use of perovskite quantum dots to enhance performance and minimize degradation in solar cells — a significant contribution to advancing solar energy technologies.

We invite you to read the inspiring testimonies of Professor Ana Flávia Nogueira and other remarkable female scientists who are shaping the future of clean energy research.

Clean energy jobs are on a growth trajectory, while dirty energy jobs are stagnating or declining. These jobs are projected to grow 8.6% and add 114,300 jobs over the next decade, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In the United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) definition, green jobs are “positions in agriculture, manufacturing, R&D, administrative, and service activities aimed at substantially preserving or restoring environmental quality.” An estimated 875,000 Americans work in “green jobs” – jobs to do with the environment, sustainability, renewable energy, conservation, and recycling.

The 2022 US Energy and Employment Report (USEER) analysis shows that energy jobs have rebounded after Covid-19 shutdowns. Nearly all clean energy sub-technologies added jobs from 2020 through 2021.

• The transmission, distribution, and storage sector employed more than 1.3 million people in 2021.
• The energy efficiency sector employed 2,164,914 people in 2021 in the design, installation, and manufacturing of energy efficiency products and services.
• Renewable energy added the most new jobs in the electricity generation sector from 2020 to 2021.
• Solar employment increased 5.4%, while wind employment grew 2.9%.
