Renewable Energy Today, Feb 27, 2007
Venture capital funding for environmental technologies nearly doubled to $1.28 billion in 2006, due to growing interest in battling climate change, according to a report issued Tuesday.
The survey by market researcher Dow Jones VentureOne and consulting firm Ernst & Young found that venture capitalists in the United States, China, Europe and Israel boosted investments by 93.5% over the $664.1 million spent in 2005.
More than two-thirds, or $883.6 million, of all clean technology investments in 2006 were made by US investors, the report said.
