• The Current Market for Renewable Energies in the United States

  The GreenTech & Business Services division at SACC New York has published a report titled "The Current Market for Renewable Energies in the United States." This is part of a series of publications throughout the fall aiming to bring light to the cleantech opportunities in the U.S. in general and New York in specific. The purpose of this report is to provide a snapshot of the renewable energy source industry in the U.S. market and to provide strategic information to small and mid-size Swedish companies considering entry into this market.
  
  Part I of the report describes the renewable energy market in general and the factors influencing current market growth. In line with the current financial recession, private investments in cleantech have taken a plunge, and the industry will in a near term perspective rely heavily on federal and governmental support. This is best expressed in the U.S. State stimulus package, American Reinvestments and Recovery Act of 2009, which was launched in February 2009.
  
  Part II highlights specific natural resources which play a significant role for future energy generations. The United States has an enormous potential to utilize these renewable energy sources but the availability and economic sense varies with each region. It is therefore fundamental to understand state incentives being created to promote cleaner technologies and solutions.
  
  Part III is a report linked to Swedish knowledge of cleantech and how companies can take advantage of these opportunities.
