Clean-Tech: Current Status and Worldwide Outlook
Fuji-Keizai USA, Inc., Feb 2008, Pages: 174
The cleantech industry encompasses a broad range of products and services, from alternative energy generation to wastewater treatment to more resource-efficient industrial processes. Although some of these industries are very different, all share a common thread: they use new, innovative technology to create products and services that compete favorably on price and performance while reducing humankind’s impact on the environment. To be considered “cleantech,” products and services must:
- Optimize use of natural resources, offering a cleaner or less wasteful alternative to traditional products and services;
- Have their genesis in an innovative or novel technology or application;
- Add economic value compared to traditional alternatives.
Research Targeted Key Cleantech Segments and Technology Areas:
Agriculture
Bio-based materials; farm efficiency technologies; micro-irrigation systems; bioremediation;non-toxic cleaners and natural pesticides. Does not include organic, health food, or natural health products.
Air & Environment
Air purification products and air filtration systems, energy efficient HVAC; universal gas detectors; multi-pollutant controls; fuel additives to increase efficiency and reduce toxic emissions.
Materials
Biodegradable materials derived from seed proteins; micro-fluidics technology for conducting biochemical reactions; nano materials; composite materials; thermal regulating fibers and fabrics; nano-technology components for electronics, sensor applications and energy storage; environmentally-friendly solvents; electrochromic glass; thermoelectric materials.
