Make no mistake; developing green technology is a matter of global proportions. Enormous opportunities exist both on the supply and demand side for improving the sustainability and efficiency of the world's energy infrastructure, much of which delivering significant returns on investment. A recent report produced by the McKinsey Global Institute indicated there are USD170 billion sustainable energy and energy efficiency investment opportunities, which would produce an initial return on investment of 17% or more. Be in no doubt, this is a burgeoning multi-billion dollar industry. |

As more developing countries industrialise, it is estimated that an annual global investment of more than USD515 billion in green technology will be required to counter global warming. Point in case, the Philippines requires USD30 billion in public and private investment over the next six years to meet projected demand on electricity, which is rising annually 4.4%.
With concerns mounting over energy insecurity and climate change, developing countries have a competitive edge in achieving a sustainable energy future. Collectively, these countries hold 40% and over 70% of the world's renewable power capacity, solar hot-water capacity and produce 45% of all bio fuels. This, together with growing industrialisation in these countries equates to enormous sustainable energy and energy efficiency investment opportunities. |

The Republic of Korea has launched a raft of measures that will determine the future direction of its national energy policy. Focusing on energy security, economic efficiency and environmental protection, the initiatives will seek to bolster energy efficiency, the supply of clean energy and renewable energy resources, whilst at the same time drastically reduce fossil fuel usage and dependency. Furthermore, the government has pledged USD11 billion till 2030 to support the green energy industry for the research, development and implementation of green technologies.
In the last quarter of 2008, the Chinese mainland rolled-out a USD560 billion stimulus package of which USD30 billion would be appropriated for environmental projects in 2009. What is more, an additional USD140 billion has been promised by the government over the next three years to support the development of renewable energy and pollution treatments.
Foreign and domestic big businesses continue to invest in the Chinese mainland's green energy market too. Most recently, industry leader, Siemens announced that it is to invest RMB1.35 billion on top of a total investment valued at RMB10 billion to support the renewable energy sector. And in so doing, the company simultaneously enhanced its environmental portfolio and strengthened its long-term commitment to the Chinese mainland. |

As an active trading hub in its own right with significant investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency,
Hong Kong is a natural base for those seeking to tap into the Chinese mainland and South East Asia's green energy markets. More importantly, as a result of joint efforts being made to reduce emissions, develop wider use of renewable energies, enhance conservation and greening as well as increase awareness and understanding of environmental issues, the territory enjoys special ties with local authorities spanning the Pearl River Delta Region and beyond. |
