A Clean Growth Tool recently launched by RMI, matches cities and regions across the United States to clean energy industries and technologies.
The tool incorporates data on the strengths of each area and the needs of each clean energy industry, RMI said.
RMI said the Clean Growth Tool helps policymakers, community leaders, economic development organizations, and industry participants with:
- Finding the most feasible clean energy industries for a city or region to grow into, given existing economic capabilities such as workforce size and expertise.
- Assessing the job creation potential of these industries.
- Identifying workforce occupations with skills shortages, to address potential investment constraints.
- Evaluating the places that would be well-suited for specific projects.
