What lawyers (should) know about cleantech startups Cleantech – What is it?
"Cleantech is any product[, process] or services that
improves operational performance, productivity, or
efficiency while reducing costs, inputs, [natural
resources,] energy consumption, waste, or
environmental pollution.
Its origin is the increased consumer, regulatory, and
industry interest in clean forms of energy generation –
specifically, perhaps, the rise in awareness of global
warming, climate change, and the impact on the
natural environment from the burning of fossil fuels."
