The Future of Clean Technology Markets to 2020 - Market Forecasts, Deal

Analysis and Investment Opportunities

Global Warming Concerns and Rising Energy Demand asserts High Attractiveness of
Clean Technology Industry

Concern over rising environmental pollution and Green House Gases (GHGs) that result
in global warming has been at the forefront of driving the clean technology industry.
Global carbon dioxide, or CO2, emissions increased from 27.6 billion metric tons in 2004
to 30.3 billion metric tons in 2008. This increase was primarily due to the increased use
of fossil fuels and rising energy demands. Global CO2 emissions are projected to reach
31.0 billion metric tons in 2010, 35.4 billion metric tons in 2020 and 40.4 billion metric
tonnes in 2030 — an increase of 30% during 2010–2030. In addition, global energy
consumption is expected to reach 13,780 Million Tons of Oil Equivalent (Mtoe) by 2020
and 16,265 Mtoe by 2030 — an increase of 42% by 2030 over 2009 levels. Rising global
energy demand is giving way to the development of renewable energy and clean
technology sources.

Global Renewable Energy Generation Market Accounts for half of the clean
technology investments in 2009

In 2009, the renewable energy generation sector accounted for 50% of the number of
overall clean technology deals. The global renewable energy sector is composed of
several distinct technologies that include solar, wind, geothermal, biopower and others.
Political, economic and environmental factors coupled with energy security and
independence concerns are driving the market demand for renewable energy. The
volatile price of conventional energy sources and the high dependence of several
countries on foreign energy sources are also contributing. Favorable government
policies and subsidies for renewable energy generation are attracting investment flow
into this area. GBI Research is confident of the enormous investment potential of
renewable energy sources in the forecast period. Among all the clean technology
sectors, agriculture reported the minimum number of investments. Industry experts, in
their interviews with GBI Research, suggested that the solutions to mitigate the
agricultural climate change footprint are available but that the methods to successfully
implement them are yet to be discovered. The concerns for food security, unfavorable
climatic conditions, rising populations and energy independence will promote clean
technology investments.

Solar Thermal Market will experience significant growth in the forecast period 2010–
2020

The global solar thermal market is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth
Rate (CAGR) of 39.2% during 2010-2020, to reach a cumulative installed capacity of
24,114 MW (Megawatt) by 2020. The opening up of the US market with generous
financial packages is expected to boost solar thermal uptake. However, the revised
tariffs in the Spanish market are expected to limit capacity addition in the future in the
country. Industry experts, in their interviews with GBI Research, support the huge
growth potential of the solar thermal market. They believe that the global solar thermal
market will capture a significant market share in the renewables sector in the forecast
period. The multi MW installation capacities and higher efficiency levels of solar thermal
power will make them a lucrative investment.

GBI Research’s new report, “The Future of Clean Technology Markets to 2020 - Market
Forecasts, Deal Analysis and Investment Opportunities” provides the key information
and analysis on the market opportunities in the clean technology industry. The report
covers the key market trends and growth forecasts for a wide range of clean technology
industries that include energy generation, energy storage, energy infrastructure, energy
efficiency, air, water, manufacturing/industrial, transportation, recycling and waste
management, material management and agriculture. The deal landscape analyses the
deals in the clean technology industry in 2009. It also provides an analysis on the basis
of geography and deal type for 2009. Global warming concerns and government
legislation is promoting clean technology industries across the globe. These advances
are expected to cause a significant growth in the demand for clean technologies in
various industries.

Concerns including the protection of the environment, energy security, energy

independence, the increasing global population and growing carbon footprints are
driving the clean technology industry across the globe. Battling climate change is as
much a concern for governments as achieving energy independence and security.
Governments across the world are taking initiatives to come up with regulatory
frameworks that support the promotion and development of clean and efficient
technologies.
