In a small English village a local health centre has placed its first patient on its network of smart electricity meters, highlighting the breadth of potential the smart grid space holds, writes sector specialist Memoori. 
Company heads in the cleantech industry claim that there is a knowledge gap between innovators and investors, which sometimes slows down and even blocks money from flowing into the sector. 
While developed countries remain focused on slowing demand and cutting costs, a growing requirement for energy within the emerging markets now appears to be the main driving force behind renewable energy and cleantech investment. 
Many countries are seeking to move in a greener direction for their energy needs and incorporate more renewable energy sources into their energy portfolio. But with countries such as Germany turning away from nuclear, there is now a ticking clock counting down efforts to deploy critical clean technologies, writes digital prototyping specialist Autodesk. 
As we move to a low carbon energy system we need to decide who are the best agents for efficiently deploying the vast amounts of capital required, as well as how those agents should receive the information that tells them what to do and how to do it, writes Ian Temperton, head of advisory at Climate Change Capital. 
International climate financing mechanisms need to go beyond treating climate change as another generic emerging market risk financing problem and should support ‘real economy’ signals which address the externality, writes Rupert Edwards, head of policy and market analysis, carbon finance, at Climate Change Capital. 
In spite of initial scepticism surrounding the capability of electric vehicles (EVs) and concerns over range anxiety, they are more than capable of meeting the needs of drivers that require efficient urban transportation, a new study has found. 
Australia's long awaited carbon package is due to be announced this week, with Prime Minister and Labor leader Julia Gillard staking her political career on getting an emissions price right. 
There are a number of clean technology developers around the globe that seem to have accomplished the unthinkable, and none more so than those developing technologies that produce energy or fuel from nothing but air. 
Environmental problems extend across international boundaries, but there are no effective international institutions to deal with them properly. The result is that problems worsen and attempts by countries to solve them fail due to the lack of an institutional framework within which to build the necessary international consensus and trust, writes Stephen Hockman QC. 
With subsistence farmers considered to be the most vulnerable community to the effects of climate change, a majority of whom are women in poor countries, climate justice should be classed as a human rights issue, according to Reid Professor of Law and former Irish stateswoman Mary Robinson. 
Australia will decide on a way of pricing carbon that has broad support and can be legislated in 2011, its Prime Minister Julia Gillard said, giving renewed hope that has long been debated by the country’s government.
The battle for the electric vehicle (EV) market has begun to intensify with many of the auto giants announcing low-carbon strategies or launching new models in recent weeks. 
As a new report finds that Australia will need to invest AUD370bn ($330bn) to become a 100 per cent renewable energy nation by 2020, cleantech policies are likely to be central to the country’s upcoming election on 21 August. 
History is filled with innovators who made less money than the people who sold their inventions, as they lacked distribution methods or sales infrastructure to supply their product to market. Oil super majors look set to make history repeat itself as they begin to pick the winners in the biofuel arena. 
Global efforts to tackle climate change by big businesses have stalled over the past year, according to a new report by the Economist Intelligence Unit. 
The heightened environmental liabilities created by recent European Union (EU) and UK environmental legislation were among top risk management concerns, according to insurance broker and risk adviser Marsh.
