Blue Hill defines the Green Technology sector as all technologies
and services that reduce the consumption of natural resources. This sector
is also known as "CleanTech". Relevant technologies lower energy
and other operating costs, optimize industrial processes and reduce waste.
They improve operating efficiencies and general productivity, and provide
important environmental benefits, often including significant reductions
in associated pollution. Examples of industries that Blue Hill considers
to be a part of the sector include:
Energy Efficiency: Energy conservation and efficiency technologies and
services including lighting, heating, cooling and ventilation, demand
side management, and high efficiency on-site generation technologies.
Renewable Energy: Technologies that produce power from renewable resources,
such as solar electric, solar thermal, waste fuels, geothermal resources,
hydropower, biomass and wind.
Resource Efficient Manufacturing Processes: Technologies that make industrial
processes more efficient and less costly, thereby reducing consumption
of natural resources and generation of waste.
Environmental Remediation: Companies active in areas such as pollution
control and recycling.
Resource Recovery: Technologies that produce marketable products from
municipal, industrial or agricultural waste material.
Water and Waste Water Treatment: Advanced technologies and solutions
applicable to water and waste water treatment.
