What is cleantech and why should you care?

Cleantech, which stands for clean technology, comprises a whole range of tools, processes and concepts that can make our world more clean, green and sustainable. Cleantech touches every aspects of our lives – be it the energy we use, the water and air around us, or a variety of materials that are of use to us.

Cleantech is not a specialized science or engineering that should be of interest to a few. Rather, it is a broad and diverse set of tools and methodologies, many of which should be of interest to all of us.

Control) Energy Infrastructure and Carriers (Management

Enablers Green IT

Others

Each and every one of above categories in turn contains a number of sub-categories, making cleantech a wide domain offering a number of personal, professional and entrepreneurial opportunities.

The above list also clearly demonstrates how cleantech is not just for the scientist, inventor, geek or the businessman, but it is for all of us. Whoever you are – a college student, a home-bound mother, a senior, a busy executive, a scientist, or just someone who wants to do the world some good – cleantech is something that you are already a part of.

There is thus every reason that you should care about cleantech because it is reshaping the world, and your personal and professional world too, in more ways than you think.
