Clean Technology Coming Of Age

This article begins an interesting four-part series on clean technology and its impact in today’s society. For some, clean technology is a passion. For others, it’s a commitment to their children and grandchildren. But for most of the players in the clean tech space, it’s about ‘doing good business,’ which includes making money.

Clean tech is broadly defined as knowledge-based products or services that improve operational performance, productivity or efficiency while reducing costs, inputs, energy consumption, waste or pollution. For example, clean tech includes alternative energies (such as wind and solar power), information technology, fuel cells, hybrid vehicles, biomass, biofuels, lighting and energy-efficient household appliances.
