CleanTech

Green, Clean & Energy Technologies are of great current interest and span several industry clusters. While there is not yet a single accepted definition for this rapidly growing field, a recent study by the Pew Charitable Trusts identifies the clean energy economy as cutting across the following five categories: clean energy, energy efficiency, environmentally friendly production, conservation and pollution mitigation, and training and support.

While much current activity is in conservation and pollution mitigation, opportunities for significant growth exist in clean energy generation, energy storage and energy efficiency.

Greater Richmond companies involved in various energy technologies include Osage Bio Energy (barley-based ethanol), Ingenco, Inc. (methane gas from landfills), Intrinergy (energy from waste products), Alstom Power (turbines and generators), and Alfa Laval (heat exchangers).
