The Global Cleantech 100 sectors
Agriculture & Food
Over the next thirty years, we need to grow more food than has ever been grown on earth by humans. To achieve this, we need to optimize a food industry that is wasteful and reform an agricultural system that is harmful to the environment.
Energy & Power
Beyond the growth of renewables, achieving long-term climate, air quality and energy access goals means finding the balance between infrastructure deployment, supportive regulation and data management.
Materials & Chemicals
The steel, cement, aluminum and plastics industries are projected to cause at least 1.5 times the total allowable greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) budget for a 1.5C future by the turn of the century. What are innovators doing to solve this problem?
Resources & Environment
Using our planet’s resources in a more responsible way means reducing our dependence on plastics, coming up with better ways of managing water, and starting to draw value from carbon capture.
Transportation & Logistics
Transportation accounts for 23% of total energy-related CO2 emissions globally. As the global population grows, transportation needs to decarbonize rapidly to reach global emissions reductions targets.
