New Optimism for a Cleantech Future

written by Walter Wang

If you’ve not been paying much attention to cleantech in the last little while, it’s time to sit up and take notice.

Because post-Solyndra, cleantech has been quietly gaining momentum.

We had the chance to take a close look at the fundamentals of cleantech over the last two months in co-authoring a new (and free!) 38-page research report in conjunction with Oakland, Calif.-based advocacy group As You Sow and the Responsible Endowments Coalition of Brooklyn, New York.

Making Green Mining Less of an Oxymoron

written by Walter Wang

New breakthrough science and cost reductions from the world of cleantech hold promise for making mining—one of the dirtiest, most inefficient industries in the world—more profitable, safer and cleaner. But which cleantech innovations aimed at reducing toxicity in mining, as well as the need for power and water, are best positioned to succeed? Which companies will win and which will lose? How can existing players manage risk in

On Environmental Crimes and Greenwashing 2.0

written by Walter Wang

Incidents of greenwashing continue apace, increasingly in the realm of what I call Greenwashing 2.0, i.e., misrepresentations in business dealings relating to commercial cleantech equipment and services as opposed to marketing consumer products.

Generating Cool Energy from Low-Temp Geothermal Liquids

written by Walter Wang

It’s rare these days that one reads about new geothermal technology (there have been only three geothermal posts in all of GPB history), so I like to highlight new developments when I see them.

Recent Department of Energy awards for small cleantech businesses included one to Cool Energy, a

Should Cleantech Fear India’s Pharma Patent Loathing?

written by Walter Wang

The continual news out of India about legal rulings breaking or invalidating pharmaceutical patents has become too much for the cleantech industry to ignore.

I’m not equating or conflating green technologies and pharmaceuticals (though some do, disingenously in my view), I’m just being realistic. The legal and policy

The Economics Behind the Migration to Clean Energy

written by Walter Wang

Today, back to back, I experienced two different sides to an important argument that I hope readers will find interesting. I had a meeting this morning with Richard Stuebi, a gentleman who’s been in and around the game of raising capital for cleantech start-ups long before I had the idea. He’s a believer in the importance of the development of technology from the standpoint of

In 2011, the National Venture Capital Association and Dow Jones VentureSource released their study of the diversity makeup of the venture capital industry. Not surprisingly, the majority of people working in the VC industry were white and. . . wait for it. . . male.

Cleantech By Any Other Name

written by Walter Wang

How relevant is the term cleantech today? Has it had its day in the sun?

It’s a heretical question for someone who’s spent much of the last 10 years of his career furthering the cleantech meme globally. A former Managing Director of an organization that gets much of the credit for coining the phrase to begin with, I’ve been a big proponent of the term, to the intentional subordination of others.
