Document summary

2011 has seen both progress and constraint in continuing the global transition towards cleaner energy sources. This has been reflected in the performance of the different asset classes in the clean energy space. Whereas cleantech public equities fared poorly, private equity/venture capital and infrastructure markets have continued to grow. Total investment in clean energy and energy efficiency markets was nearly $140billion Q1 through Q3 2011, compared to $103 billion over the same period 2010. While there may be some growth moderation in infrastructure markets in 2012, the forecast is for continued long-term growth in cleaner energy markets.
