The Clean Dozen: 12 (actually, 13) Markets to Watch in Cleantech in 2009
As we enter 2009, we wanted to take a look at cleantech markets we think will get the lionshare of the media attention during the year. We're calling it the Clean (Baker's) Dozen. We made our selections based on a variety of factors including 2008 venture funding, 2008 media attention, ties to existing large industries (auto, construction) and viability for commercialization.
Here is the list:
-Thin-film solar
-Inverters
-Solar thermal
-Wind
-Cellulosic Ethanol
-Algae
-Geothermal
-Monitoring & Management
-Concentrators
-Storage & Batteries
-Carbon Offsets
-Green Building Materials
-Green Transportation
There are others that should be on this list and that have significant public relations and government relations potential, including Water conservation, purification and potability, but they just haven't taken off yet. We'll do a post on each of these during Q1 and highlight some approaches we think are worth watching. Through our government relations team, we'll also keep an eye on Federal and State funding and policy to see if the G-men agree with our choices.
