Clean Energy: An Exporter's Guide to India and China (Renewable Energy: Research, Development and Policies)

This book is a clean energy technology market overview for India and China with two primary objectives: to analyse the clean energy markets in India and China, and to identify opportunities for trade and investment through 2020. Clean energy technologies include: renewable energy, hybrid and co-generation, and energy efficiency technologies for power generation; alternative fuels; and advanced technologies for transportation. They produce power for a wide range of applications using no fuel or less fuel than fossil-fuel-based technologies, produce no or fewer pollutants than conventional technologies and can use renewable energy sources, which, unlike fossil fuels, are not depleted over time. The renewable energy technologies considered in this book are biomass and biofuels, waste-to-energy, solar power, wind power, geothermal, hydropower, and ocean power. This is an edited, excerpted and augmented edition of two U.S. Department of Commerce publications.
