What is CleanTech?
CleanTech is a term that is increasingly used around the world but is seldom very clearly defined. The Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth (Tillväxtverket) has studied the notion as to find out a definition. That study concluded that CleanTech includes products, services and integrated solutions that take us all the way to a sustainable society (where the use of resources of the generation of today is not challenging the survival of generations to come).
CleanTech commonly covers the following 11 areas:
1.Energy Generation (solar power plant, wind energy plant)
2.Energy Storage (batteries, thermal storage technologies)
3.Energy systems (a system of energy plants and technologies )
4.Energy Efficiency (energy efficient tech, CFL lamps, efficient stoves)
5.Transport (bio-fuel vehicles, public transport systems)
6.Water & sewerage (water treatment and waste water sewerage systems)
7.Air & Environment (air purification from effluent gasses, filters)
8.Materials (sustainable or renewable materials)
9.Production / Process Development (tech and methods to improve production and process)
10.Agriculture and Forestry (sustainable farming and forest management)
11.Recycling & waste (waste management systems, technology for recycling
