Being named once again a Global Cleantech 100 company reaffirms the industry's recognition of our company's innovative technology, its commercial potential, and our strong progress towards commercialization.

"The 2012 Global Cleantech 100 is markedly different in its composition to that of 2009, our first edition," said Richard Youngman, Cleantech Group Managing Director.
