What Is Cleantech?

Cleantech refers to any process, product, or service that reduces environmental impacts through improved energy efficiency, sustainable resource use, or environmental protection. This broad category encompasses a diverse range of innovations, from established practices to cutting-edge technologies. 

Cleantech can include anything from energy efficiency and renewables to water purification, electric vehicles, and much more.
