Clean is more than green. Clean technology, or "cleantech", should not be confused with the terms environmental technology or "green tech" popularized in the 1970's and 80's.

Cleantech is new technology and related business models offering competitive returns for investors and customers while providing solutions to global challenges. Where greentech, or envirotech, represents the highly regulatory driven, "end-of-pipe" technology of the past with limited opportunity for attractive returns, cleantech is driven by market economics therefore offering greater financial upside and sustainability.

The concept of cleantech embraces a diverse range of products, services, and processes across industry verticals that are inherently designed to,

* Provide superior performance at lower costs
* Greatly reduce or eliminate negative ecological impact
* Improve the productive and responsible use of natural resources
