For the past 40 years, Denmark has been synonymous with world-class green high-technology. It started with wind technology as a solution to the 1970s oil crisis, but since then the Danish business sector has evolved and now offers technologies within all types of sustainable energy, climate-friendly solutions and energy saving products to individuals as well as to businesses, writes the Copenhagen Cleantech Cluster. 
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. 
With Scotland cementing some of Europe's most ambitious renewable energy targets, it will look to draw on its long-established expertise in the oil and gas sector. 
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. 
With a focus on sustainable development following a period of financial and political uncertainty, the country of Georgia is actively seeking to bolster its energy capacity and develop its home-grown green industry, according to Vera Kobalia, the country’s Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development.
