Australia: Clean Coal Technology
Abstract: Australia is the world's largest exporter of black coal, and coal-fired power generates about 80 percent of Australia's stationary energy. The Federal Government has recently announced its commitment to reduce Australia's greenhouse pollution 60 percent on 2000 levels by 2050. Policy developments at the national level will increase interest among mining companies and power generators in clean coal technologies.
China: Water Pollution Control Market
Abstract: Severe water shortages and pollution increasingly challenge much of China. The Chinese government has undertaken numerous steps to address the water issue. Improving water quality, upgrading wastewater treatment capacity and building a water-conservation society are high on the agenda of the country’s 11th five-year plan (2006-2010).
China, Sichuan: Solid and Medical Waste Market
Abstract: China’s rapid economic growth and urbanization have resulted in major pollution issues within its towns and cities. Pollution problems are more severe in large cities of Sichuan that have undergone large-scale industrial development to implement China’s western development strategy. Under pressure to build Sichuan into an ecologically minded province while at the same time fostering its economy, the Sichuan provincial government is making great efforts to build adequate infrastructure and strengthen environmental law enforcement. In the next five years, the local government will significantly increase capital expenditures in the area of solid and medical waste treatment, which should create many business opportunities for American environmental firms.
