Benchmarking Country Initiatives on Environment in Asia Pacific
Frost & Sullivan, Dec 2010, Pages: 88
This research highlights the analysis of four core benchmarking categories, namely emissions and energy, innovation, policy and institutions, and waste management, as a country's environmental initiative performance and competitive success. The categories are meant to illustrate ten leading countries' performance at capacity to prosper and advance in a environmental economy. The benchmarking criteria is built around four categories with eleven individual indicators. Each category comprises indicators, which represent a core foundation for benchmarking environmental initiative and capacity to achieve goals and outcomes essential for a environmental success in each country
Research Overview
This Frost & Sullivan research service titled Benchmarking Country Initiatives on Environment in Asia Pacific provides a benchmarking analysis of country initiatives on environment across a range of meaningful and comparable indicators that measure ten countries in the Asia Pacific. The benchmarking criteria are built around four categories with eleven individual indicators. Each category comprises indicators that represent a core foundation for benchmarking an environmental initiative and capacity essential to achieve environmental success in each country. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following markets: energy efficiency, renewable energy and waste management services.
Market Overview
Asia Pacific Focuses on Clean Technology; Global Market for Green Technologies to Grow to Approximately $800.00 Billion by 2012
All over the world, access to clean technology remains the focus for the global transition to a resource-efficient and green economy. Companies realise that replacing old technologies with modern, sustainable alternatives can simultaneously reduce operational costs, advance quality of life, generate green opportunities and benefit the environment. With the rise in energy costs and escalating threat of global warming, many businesses are recognising that using green technology will help them reduce their carbon footprints and minimise waste. “The number of green energy and climate-friendly projects is increasing rapidly in both the public and private sectors in the Asia Pacific,” says the analyst of this research. “Moreover, high-initiative countries have allocated substantial funds for green investment themes, which include boosting green infrastructure, using low-carbon and renewable power, ensuring energy efficiency, as well as controlling water usage and waste generation.”
Over the last decade, many countries in the Asia Pacific have stepped up initiatives to preserve the environment. Japan, South Korea and Australia are at the forefront of this drive, while emerging economies such as China and India intend to sustain their current pace of public and private investment in all areas of the environment sector including renewable energy, waste management and green technologies. China and India, with the highest emission intensity index of 1.51 and 1.17, respectively, have vast potential for improvements in the implementation of green practices. Stringent government policies as well as heavy investments in green energy will raise the level of commitment in the public and private sectors. Emerging economies such as Indonesia and Vietnam tend to accord low priority to environmental issues due to their more pressing concerns regarding high poverty levels and weak governance systems. Thailand still lacks consistency in the development and resolution of environmental issues even though it was among the first Southeast Asian countries to promote an industrialisation policy based on fostering foreign investment.
Despite the lackadaisical performances of certain countries, the overall outlook for the environment industry is positive. “In 2009, global investments in renewable energy power generation ($140.00 billion) far exceeded that of fossil-fuelled power generation ($110.00 billion),” notes the analyst. “This proves that clean energy is not merely hype and it will become an important investment theme in the years ahead.”
