Cleantech is a sector receiving increased attention from policy makers, public companies, and private investors due to heightened awareness of environmental issues and an appreciation that business and environmental goals can coexist.

On these pages you will find information about our cleantech products, events and publications.

What is Cleantech?

Library House has developed its own cleantech taxonomy, in conjunction with the Carbon Trust. According to our criteria, Clean Energy includes diverse products, technologies and processes which, through improvements in the clean energy supply chain from energy source through to point of consumption, result in a reduction in carbon dioxide (CO₂) emission.

The Clean Energy Supply Chain

Upstream: The exploration and development of alternative energy sources

Generation: The generation of useful energy, both electrical and otherwise

Infrastructure: Technologies related to energy delivery infrastructure

Consumption: Technologies to improve energy efficiency at the point of consumption.
