Renewable Energy

The state of Iowa and its renewable energy companies are leading the race to become the renewable energy capital of the nation. Iowa's strong agricultural foundation and its legacy of manufacturing excellence have positioned the state to lead the nation in the following industries: wind energy, renewable fuels — ethanol & biodiesel, biomass, and other next generation technologies.

Many career opportunities are available within the renewable energy industry. Iowa’s launch to the 2nd position in nationwide wind production and huge expansion of manufacturers and suppliers within the state provide a wide range of career opportunities. Training programs are also in place for those considering a change in career or industry.
