Clean Tech Clean Profits
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 iun 2010
However, talk of dramatic cuts in carbon emissions remains an ambitious goal, particularly when taking newer economic powers such as China and India into account. To have any chance of achieving such goals, the market for clean technology has to start working more efficiently. The gap between current thinking and future potential remains enormous - if that gap is to be bridged, there must be a major series of innovations, a massive re-allocation of capital and ultimately the creation of whole new industries.
Ideas for hastening the switch to a low-carbon world are bound to take a number of forms: they could come from new breakthroughs or a reconfiguration of existing techniques; they may stem from a flash of insight or a response to pressure from regulators and consumers; they might even come about as a result of changes to engineering designs or a new software program. What is certain is that questions will be asked in all spheres of economic activity - from manufacturing and service provision, to education and banking.
This book is designed as a practical guide for entrepreneurs, innovators, directors and investors on how to bring clean technologies to market in the most effective and profitable manner. Drawing on a wide range of expertise and experience in strategy, technology, brands, intellectual property, design, finance and management, Clean Tech, Clean Profits is divided into a number of key sections, including: the size of the challenge; making a return; how the market works; clean energy; transport; land and water use; carbon removal; clean commercialization.
Designed as a practical guide to the effective management of clean technology and the commercial opportunities within this burgeoning sector, this book is for leaders of organizations who want to move ahead of their competitors and offer new sources of value to their customer, and will show how companies can best position themselves for the massive boom in clean technology that is waiting to happen.

Descriere
Through a combination of innovation and regulation, the script for how the world's economies operate is about to be totally rewritten. Cleaner and greener technologies are only going to play an increasing role in global business - and while there will be costs involved in adapting to those technologies, there are also opportunities for businesses which are capable of commercializing them.
From carbon capture to new sources of renewable energy, the overall potential of this shift is enormous, as evidenced by the amount of private capital and public funds looking for clean technologies in which to invest.
But how can you incorporate clean tech principles into everyday business? And what are the most effective ways of commercializing any new products or procedures? Clean Tech, Clean Profits offers advice and commentary from leading players in the energy, renewables, waste management and innovation sectors - including British Gas, the Technology Strategy Board and British Water.
This new book includes chapters on: zero-carbon Britain; clean tech funding; sustainable finance; wind, marine, solar and biomass energy; low-carbon vehicles; land and water use; geo-engineering; clean energy applications; waste management; start-ups and spin-outs; the value of patenting.
