Clean Tech

Clean Tech is a term used to describe knowledge-based products or services that improve operational performance, productivity, or efficiency while reducing costs, inputs, energy consumption, waste, or pollution. Companies in many business sectors face issues in assessing the viability of Clean Tech strategies and developing tactical business plans. As the world economy faces challenges from high energy prices, resource shortages, global environmental problems, and security threats, clean technologies are seen to be the next engine of economic growth and key to achieving energy independence as well as sustainability goals.

Forming a strategy, business model, and business case for renewables requires a deep knowledge in existing and emerging technologies such as:

• Short term energy storage devices
• Compressed air storage (CAES)
• Distributed generation
• Combined heat and power (CHP)
• Fuel Cells
• Gasification plants
• Nanotechnology
