3 Clean Tech Industries Overview

4 Revolution of Clean Tech  In the 1970s, clean tech was considered “alternative”  Environmentalism and lifestyle advocates  Too expensive & lack of political support “Clean technologies are designed to provide superior performance at a lower cost while creating significantly less waste than conventional offering – promises to be the next engine of economic growth.” – Ron Pernick 4 Source: The Clean Tech Revolution by Ron Pernick

5 Revolution of Clean Tech  Six reasons why it is prevalent today  Costs  Capital  Competition  Consumers,  Climate  China 5

23 Industry Development  Global renewable electricity installations have more than tripled from 2000-2009  Renewable energy accounts for 21% of global electricity generation (including hydropower); 3.8% excluding hydropower  Wind and solar PV fastest growing; capacity grew 14x between 2000-2009  In 2009, Germany led the world in cumulative solar PV installed capacity. The US leads in wind, geothermal, biofuels, and CSP 23

24 Government Energy Subsidies  Industry reliant on government subsidies  Subsidies takes 4 main forms:  Direct Expenditures  Tax Expenditures  Research and Development  Targeted Programs & Indirect support(i.e.: Loans Guarantees programs by US Department of Agriculture) 24

25 Feed-in Tariff  Industry benefited from introduction of feed-in tariff (FiT)  a policy mechanism designed to encourage the adoption of renewable energy  As a government mandate, utility companies pay the homeowners, business and organizations to generate their own electricity  First implemented in US in 1978 by president Jimmy Carter  As a reaction to 1970’s energy crisis  As of 2009, FiT enacted in 63 jurisdictions around the world  Denmark, Spain, and Germany 25
