If you want to ensure that you have a challenging problem to work on in the next 20 years related to energy, then batteries are what you need to work on. Work for a company with a mission that keeps you motivated to get out of bed in the morning and make the world a better place.
One of the main reasons for countries´ interest in the battery industry is the job creation that is expected to be generated by the entire value chain linked to this sector.
A lot of battery companies are full of people who were the smartest kids in their high schools and the smartest in their undergrad or grad programs. Now if you hire these people, you’re never gonna build consensus and you’re never going to get 100% of people to agree on something.
Currently, 15 battery factories are in operation or will be within five years. If each factory employs 2,000 to 3,000 workers, then 200,000 to 300,000 new battery-related jobs will likely be created, along with the tens of thousands of jobs needed to construct the factories.
Batteries have always been challenging where you have to keep your work a secret but Mateo Jaramillo, the cofounder of Form Energy, tells a really convincing story about where the world is going in terms of energy storage, the falling price point of renewables, and where our technology fits into the puzzle.
According to a report by the World Economic Forum, the battery value chain will generate a total of 10 million jobs worldwide by 2030, mainly linked to the emergence of electric vehicles. Sources such as EIT Innoenergy and Fraunhofer estimate that around 10% of the total will be generated in Europe alone, reaching one million new jobs by 2030.
