Clean Technology
Clean Technology (“Clean Tech”) refers to any product, service, or process that delivers value using limited or zero nonrenewable resources and/or creates significantly less waste than conventional offerings. Clean Tech comprises a diverse range of products and services, but essentially covers four main sectors: energy, transportation, water and materials. It includes well-known technologies such as solar photovoltaics, wind power, biofuels, bio-based plastics, advanced lithium batteries, and large-scale reverse osmosis water desalination. But it also includes such emerging technologies as tidal power, silicon-based fuel cells, distributed hydrogen generation, plug-in hybrid vehicles, and nano-technology-based materials.
Clean Tech is no longer the domain of “tree-hugging”, “hemp-obsessed”, environmentalists. It is rapidly becoming the cornerstone of corporate, investment, and government strategies which stand to benefit substantially from this essential and dynamic industry segment for decades to come.
Clean Energy Technology
Clean Energy Technology (“Clean Energy”) is actually a sector within the Clean Tech industry and is the area in which EnTech has made a particular focus. Clean Energy includes different sub-sectors including: solar power, wind power, fuel cells, geo-thermal, biomass & biogas, wave & tide power, efficient appliances & lighting, energy efficient buildings, smart meters, advanced power storage, hybrid battery technology, biofuels, cleaner coal, carbon trading, among others.
Each of the above sub-sectors features different technology, growth drivers and players. As such, there are many different ways to profit from the Clean Energy industry. These profit opportunities, broadly defined, range from starting a business, to investing in industry-related private or public companies, to trading in the Clean Energy markets. EnTech is already positioned to benefit certain key industry players by bringing together Clean Energy entrepreneurs and investors. Within the near-term, EnTech will also serve to significantly enhance the Clean Energy trading markets as it launches its planned Clean Energy global trading platform.
