What is Clean Technology?

• “Clean Technology” is “ a diverse range of

products, services, and processes that harnessrenewable materials and energy sources, dramatically

reduce the use of natural resources, and cut or

eliminate emissions and wastes.”

• Clean Technology includes the renewable energy,

energy intelligence and efficiency, smart grid, green

transportation (electric vehicles, HSR) energy

storage, advanced batteries, green buildings, lighting,and water, air filtration,…

Smart Grid (Energy Transmission & Distribution)

Smart Grid is a transformed electricity transmission and distribution network or "grid"

that uses robust two-way communications, advanced sensors/meters, and distributed

computers to improve the efficiency, reliability and safety of power delivery and use.

Think of a Smart Grid as an "internet routing network“ for Electricity, instead of for

Data.9

Clean Technology Economy

• The clean-energy sector is delivering new job and economic

opportunities, as it moves from a once-marginalized niche to an

increasingly cost-competitive, mainstream offering.

• Green-job naysayers often question the validity of green jobs,

stating that there‟s no clear definition for what constitutes a

green job and that any new jobs in clean tech simply displace

jobs from other sectors, creating no new net jobs.

• But clean-tech jobs are not amorphous as these critics claim,

and instead represent some of the most dynamic sectors in the

technology landscape, including electric vehicles (cars, trucks,

and rail), energy storage, green-building materials,advanced lighting, solar power, wind energy, and the smart

grid.

• Green jobs can pay well and span the spectrum from “green-

collar” trade jobs to Ph.D.-level engineers. 21Prepared by Dr. William Kao



Clean Tech Economy

• Money invested in clean energy, creates two to four jobs for

every one job created if the money were spent on fossil fuelindustries.

• Many of these jobs can‟t be exported, as they are based

heavily on local jobs in installation, operations, and

maintenance.• CT Manufacturing is not „Outsourced -Proof‟.

• Industrial leaders in the U.S., China, South Korea, Germany,

Japan, and other nations, responding to this opportunity, are

now vying for clean-tech leadership and the jobs that comewith it.
