Clean Energy

Research Service

The Energy and Green Technology Research Service examines market sectors involved in power generation as they increasingly incorporate alternative energy sources, as well as other sectors that must become increasingly green (by utilizing less-hazardous materials) and energy-efficient to survive in an ever-more-eco-conscious world. It covers alternative energy generation, smart grid applications, and efforts – such as "green" building materials, green computing, LED lighting, and building management systems – aimed at increasing energy efficiency.

This Service Covers the Following Technology and Market Issues:

  • Alternative energy generation
    • Photovoltaics, Wind Power
  • Upgrading electrical power grids to encourage distributed generation
    • Smart Grid Applications
  • Increasing energy efficiency to reduce electrical usage and greenhouse gas emissions
    • Green Building Materials, Green Computing, LED Lighting, Building Management Systems
