Solar PV, Wind, and Biofuel Markets Expand by 11.4 Percent to $139.1 Billion in Collective Global Revenues in 2009
Solar PV, Wind, and Biofuel Markets Expand by 11.4 Percent to $139.1 Billion in Collective Global Revenues in 2009
Clean Edge’s Annual Clean Energy Trends Report Finds Clean-Energy Markets Holding Up in Tough Economic Climate
PORTLAND, Ore. & OAKLAND, Calif.-- March 16 (Investorideas.com Renewabke energy/green newswire )--Following one of the worst years in economic history, signs of hope have begun to emerge for the clean-tech sector, with clean energy becoming a driving force for global economic recovery from Beijing to Seoul, and Washington D.C. to Brussels. In 2009, combined global revenue for the three major clean-energy sectors – solar photovoltaics (PV), wind power, and biofuels – grew by 11.4 percent over 2008, reaching $139.1 billion. These three sectors are expected to reach $325.9 billion by 2019, according to the Clean Energy Trends 2010 report issued today by Clean Edge Inc., a research and publishing firm devoted to the clean-tech sector.
“Despite severe economic conditions, clean-energy markets were able to hold their momentum in 2009 as many regional and federal governments and private corporations focused on clean-energy investments as a way to pull out of the global economic tailspin”
.The annual Clean Energy Trends report, now in its ninth year, can be downloaded for free at www.cleanedge.com.
“Despite severe economic conditions, clean-energy markets were able to hold their momentum in 2009 as many regional and federal governments and private corporations focused on clean-energy investments as a way to pull out of the global economic tailspin,” said Ron Pernick, Clean Edge co-founder and managing director. “From the smart grid and energy efficiency to renewable energy generation and advanced battery storage, clean tech continues to be a major driver of regional job growth, economic recovery, and technological competitiveness.”
As always, the Clean Energy Trends report includes growth projections for the major clean-energy sectors (solar PV, wind, and biofuels), as well as global clean-tech investment and jobs data. The report’s key findings include:
•The global production and wholesale pricing of ethanol and biodiesel reached $44.9 billion in 2009 and is projected to grow to $112.5 billion by 2019. In 2009, the biofuel market consisted of more than 23.6 billion gallons of ethanol and biodiesel production worldwide.
•Wind power (new installation capital costs) is projected to expand from $63.5 billion in 2009 to $114.5 billion in 2019. Last year’s global wind power installations reached a record 37,500 MW. China, the first-time global leader in new installations, accounted for more than a third of new installations, with 13,000 MW.
•Solar PV will grow from a $30.7 billion industry in 2009 to $98.9 billion by 2019. New installations reached almost 6 GW worldwide in 2009, a nearly sixfold increase from five years earlier. But because of rapidly declining solar PV prices, industry revenue in 2009 fell about 20 percent, from $38.5 billion in 2008.
•U.S.-based venture capital investments in energy technologies declined from $3.2 billion in 2008 to $2.2 billion in 2009. However, clean energy’s percentage of total U.S. venture capital investments continued to rise, accounting for 12.5 percent of total activity in 2009. This represented the largest share in the history of the clean-energy asset class.
•The global solar PV and wind power industries together currently account for a total of more than 830,000 jobs worldwide. By 2019, global industry growth will push the total to more than 3.3 million jobs.
The report also examines many of the issues shaping the clean-energy marketplace, including the failure of nations to reach a global climate accord in Copenhagen; China’s seemingly unstoppable rise to global clean-tech dominance; and the growing ubiquity and declining cost of clean-energy technologies. An IPO Watch List tracks clean-technology companies that have recently filed for IPOs, as well as other likely candidates. The report also outlines five key trends that will impact the markets in the coming years:
•Carbon as a Feedstock: Win-Win or Pipe Dream?
•Steep PV Price Drops Redefine the Solar Industry
•Biomass Fires up Utilities and District Heating
•Clean-Tech Megaprojects See Big Advances – and Big Challenges
•High Speed Rail Surges Ahead – But at What Cost?

Solar Stocks News ; XsunX (OTCBB: XSNX) Moves Closer to Commercializing Its Innovative Technology for the Replacement of Silicon Solar Cells
Solar Stocks News ; XsunX (OTCBB: XSNX) Moves Closer to Commercializing Its Innovative Technology for the Replacement of Silicon Solar Cells
Category: Investment, Solar, Renewable Energy
ALISO VIEJO, Calif. - March 8, 2010 (Investorideas.com Renewable/green Newswire) - XsunX, Inc. (OTC BB: XSNX), the developer of advanced, thin-film photovoltaic (TFPV) solar cell technologies and manufacturing processes, today announced the company has reached a significant milestone in its development process: the completion of a co-evaporation processing chamber design that combines several thermal evaporation techniques in one unified process to produce the CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium diSelenide) solar cell's absorber layer.
"This development is crucial to both the equipment and process technology side of our efforts," said Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc. "The completion of this chamber converges several operations that we have been developing separately, allowing all of the processes necessary to produce the CIGS layer for our cross-industry technology to work in unison. This development increases the rate with which we can develop this new technology towards our initial baseline commercialization goals. This is a fundamental next step in our plan to commercialize our hybrid CIGS manufacturing process, and deliver a potential replacement solution for the use of silicon."
The hybrid cross-industry system XsunX is developing is an integrated delivery method that uses proven material handling and automation technologies from the Hard Disk equipment (HD) industry and adapts them to small-area thin-film photovoltaic (TFPV) co-evaporation processes to configure the absorber layer, or solar power conversion portion of the cell, to produce low cost solar cells. The chamber will process 125 mm x 125 mm production-sized substrates that the company anticipates will be replicated as the key component of a full commercial production toolset, after additional testing of the chamber itself.
"This integration of numerous processing technologies into a single chamber design will allow us to begin testing the value of hard disk material handling and systems management technologies," said XsunX's CTO Robert Wendt. "From the start, we envisioned this chamber as the key to our ability to viably produce commercial quantities of CIGS solar cells using small-area processing techniques."
Mr. Wendt further added, "We believe that a key component to our success lies in our use of the co-evaporation process on individual small-area substrates, or wafers similar in size to silicon wafers, to produce the solar absorbing portion of the solar cell."
Co-evaporation has been at the forefront of technology development efforts at institutes worldwide such as the National Renewable Energy Laboratories (NREL) here in the USA, and other renowned agencies including the Institute of Energy Conversion/University of Delaware and Stuttgart in Germany. Each of these agencies has achieved world class efficiency conversion capability utilizing co-evaporation techniques.
Chamber completion is the result of experimentation and design modifications to both equipment and process technology, and in addition to being the foundation on which XsunX will continue to build its technology, also serves as a distinguishing advancement in the company's intellectual capital portfolio. "From the beginning, we envisioned the completion of the chamber design, and its co-evaporation system, as a differentiating feat of the scientific team - a demonstration of their engineering and development prowess," noted Djokovich.
About XsunX
XsunX specializes in the development and commercialization of advanced, thin-film photovoltaic (TFPV) solar cell technologies and manufacturing processes. We are currently working to develop new proprietary manufacturing systems to deliver low cost solar products based on the use of CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium diSelenide) solar thin-films. Utilizing cross-industry enabling technologies, these systems are being developed to deliver low cost and high yield front end CIGS solar cell manufacturing methods coupled with customized backend solar module assembly and packaging systems.
This CIGS production technology is being designed as a turn-key solution to either enable upgrades to existing infrastructure or to establish new large scale solar manufacturing capacity for the production of CIGS solar cells that can be utilized in a multitude of applications. We plan to offer joint venture manufacturing opportunities for this technology to regional partners in a number of industry types and solar applications.

UC DAVIS HONORS THE ART OF SAVING ENERGY
UC DAVIS HONORS THE ART OF SAVING ENERGY
University of California, Davis
March 9, 2010
Art Rosenfeld's first stab at energy efficiency did not go smoothly:
On a Friday night in the 1973 oil crisis, he tried to save electricity by turning off his office mates' lights -- but couldn't find the switches. They were hidden by bookcases, file cabinets and posters.
"After 20 minutes of uncovering light switches in 19 offices (thereby saving 100 gallons of natural gas that weekend), I decided that we should do something about conservation," he recalls.
As it turned out, Rosenfeld did everything about conservation. With the precision of a particle physicist and the practicality of a child of the Great Depression, Rosenfeld made his point to politicians, power-industry moguls, policy makers, engineers and average citizens:
"The cheapest energy is what you don't use."
Soon, instead of building new plants to make more power, Californians started designing things to use less. Refrigerators, windows, even those ubiquitous fluorescent lights -- Rosenfeld's leadership drove innovations in these and other products that made California a global example of energy efficiency.
The proof: While Californians today enjoy homes, offices and lives with far more electric appliances than we did 30 years ago, we use about the same amount of electricity per person now as we did then.
Today (March 9) UC Davis will host a full day of programs and events to recognize Arthur Rosenfeld's inestimable contributions to California's economy, environment and public health.
The day will include a public symposium on the future of energy efficiency innovation and leadership; the announcement of a planned
$1 million endowed chair in energy efficiency at UC Davis; and the establishment of a new unit of energy measurement, the Rosenfeld -- one that describes energy saved, not energy consumed. More than 50 of Rosenfeld's scientist and energy-policy peers, from 26 international institutions, proposed the new measurement in a paper published today in the journal Environmental Research Letters.
"I am delighted that a chair in my name will help UC Davis in perpetuity," Rosenfeld said. "UC Davis founded the nation's first university center for energy efficiency. I was honored to be part of that and to serve on its board. Most important, the campus uses its service mission and proximity to Sacramento to convene science, policy and commerce to bring efficiency to the public. "
Ben Finkelor, executive director of the UC Davis Energy Efficiency Center, said, "With Art as one of our key mentors and advisers, we have made dramatic strides in our first four years." The center has:
* Pioneered a focus on collaboration with the private and public sectors in the development of promising energy efficiency technologies;
* Launched a special center for cooling efficiency that joins the campus' existing lighting technology center;
* Begun developing an energy efficiency curriculum tailored to teach future thought leaders and managers; and
* Begun designing the efficiency components for California's first net zero energy community -- UC Davis West Village, scheduled to open in 2011.
Arthur H. Rosenfeld Symposium and Reception
Starting at 10 a.m. in the UC Davis Mondavi Center, the symposium will focus on Rosenfeld's public service and the next generation of energy efficiency innovation and leadership.
Rosenfeld's public roles have included serving as science adviser for the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy; two five-year terms on the California Energy Commission, which leads the state's energy initiatives; serving on the board of the California Clean Energy Fund, a public benefit corporation dedicated to making equity investments in clean energy companies; and service as a founding UC Davis Energy Efficiency Center board member.
Rosenfeld also is a professor emeritus of physics at the University of California, Berkeley, and co-founder and former director of the Center for Building Science at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).
At the end of the symposium, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's chief of staff, Susan Kennedy, will make the keynote address.
Volt, watt, joule -- and Rosenfeld
Also at the symposium, Rosenfeld's colleagues will announce that a new measurement to describe energy savings will be named the Rosenfeld unit. More than 50 of Rosenfeld's scientist and energy-policy peers, from 26 international institutions, proposed the new measurement in a paper published today in the journal Environmental Research Letters.
Alan Meier, a visiting scientist at the UC Davis Energy Efficiency Center, is one of the co-authors of the paper proposing the new unit.
The Rosenfeld unit is expected to be used worldwide, just as the eponymous terms volt, watt and joule are used to quantify various measurements of energy.
One Rosenfeld unit represents the energy savings needed to replace the annual generation from a single existing 500-megawatt coal-fired power plant (about the amount used annually by a U.S. city with a population of 250,000). The proposed unit correlates to energy savings of 3 billion kilowatt hours per year at the utility meter.
In addition to the electricity savings, a Rosenfeld represents 3 million metric tons of avoided carbon dioxide emissions annually (assuming all the savings come from an existing coal plant).
Rosenfeld describes potential electricity savings in terms of avoided power plants, he says, because it is easier for people to visualize a power plant than it is to understand an abstraction like billions of kilowatt-hours.
"I wish I had had the Rosenfeld unit before now, as a student and scientist," said Meier. "The unit will simplify the way the world communicates the impacts of energy savings and new energy supplies.
It will lead to better understanding, and therefore better policy."
New UC Davis chair in energy efficiency
Also today, UC Davis officials will announce plans for a new endowed professorship -- the Arthur H. Rosenfeld Chair in Energy Efficiency.
The Arthur H. Rosenfeld Chair in Energy Efficiency will be used to recognize and support an exceptional member of the energy efficiency faculty at UC Davis. The chair holder will promote the Energy Efficiency Center's mission to accelerate the commercialization of energy-efficiency technologies, teach future leaders in energy efficiency, and conduct critical policy-supporting research.
Michael Siminovitch, director of the UC Davis California Lighting Technology Center, said, "The Rosenfeld Chair will recognize in perpetuity Art's unmatched contributions in essentially creating the field of energy efficiency, and will bring great prestige to this area of academic study. The Rosenfeld Chair will honor and attract the very best minds to the field of energy efficiency."
Donors have pledged $700,000 to date to fund the chair endowment; the university anticipates raising a total of $1 million or more from individuals and organizations. For example, corporations giving $100,000 each include PG&E, Southern California Edison and the Sempra Foundation. Chevron and Power Integrations each have given $50,000.
UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi said that the Rosenfeld Chair in Energy Efficiency will be a natural fit with the university's broad commitment to sustainability leadership.
"Our goal is to make this a sustainable second century for our campus while we continue our leadership in energy research and innovation, and the all-important step of commercialization," Katehi said. "Dr.
Rosenfeld's work is an inspiration to us, and serves as an example of the transformative effect that is possible when science and public policy are linked."
UC Davis sustainability initiative
Earlier this month, in her State of the Campus address, Katehi said UC Davis plans to launch a major sustainability initiative. A "green summit" is planned to bring together scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, academic researchers, elected officials, and venture capitalists from the Bay Area and Sacramento.
UC Davis efforts in this area include energy-efficient lighting in parking garages; a new brewery, winery and food science facility that will be the first LEED-certified platinum building of its kind; and the planned net-zero energy UC Davis West Village community.
Which brings this story back to the continuing impact of Arthur
Rosenfeld: At the age of 84, he is on his fourth career -- advocating for the use of reflective white roofs to combat climate change.
He has already pushed through California building codes that require white roofs on new commercial buildings. Most of the roofs in UC Davis West Village will be on residential buildings, not commercial ones. But to keep residents' energy use down, they will be white.
You could even call them Rosenfeld roofs.
About UC Davis
For more than 100 years, UC Davis has engaged in teaching, research and public service that matter to California and transform the world.
Located close to the state capital, UC Davis has 32,000 students, an annual research budget that exceeds $600 million, a comprehensive health system and 13 specialized research centers. The university offers interdisciplinary graduate study and more than 100 undergraduate majors in four colleges -- Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Biological Sciences, Engineering, and Letters and Science. It also houses six professional schools -- Education, Law, Management, Medicine, Veterinary Medicine and the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing.

Rosenfeld: At the age of 84, he is on his fourth career -- advocating for the use of reflective white roofs to combat climate change.
He has already pushed through California building codes that require white roofs on new commercial buildings. Most of the roofs in UC Davis West Village will be on residential buildings, not commercial ones. But to keep residents' energy use down, they will be white.
You could even call them Rosenfeld roofs.

RMT Creates New Capping Technology for Contaminated Sediment
Join Today
RMT Creates New Capping Technology for Contaminated Sediment
RMT is a unit of Alliant Energy Corporation (NYSE:LNT), an energy holding company
MADISON, Wis., Feb. 22 - RMT, Inc. (RMT), a leading energy and environment company, has developed a new technology to address the ongoing human health and environmental risks from sediment contaminated by manufactured gas plants (MGPs) - a problem that has been misunderstood and difficult to remedy in scores of water bodies.
Development of remediation technologies for sediments that release non-aqueous-phase liquid (NAPL) is in its infancy. RMT's NAPL Trapping Cap (patent pending) is designed to permanently and predictably control tar migration from sediment by redirecting tar which is released to a controlled accumulation area, where the non-aqueous phase tar is trapped while the gas is vented to the atmosphere.
"Understanding gas bubble migration from biodegrading organic material, typical of many sediments, was key to developing a solution to stop human and environmental exposure to tar," explained Gene McLinn, RMT's Senior Client Executive for MGP Programs. "Our Remediation Process Laboratories allowed us to test treatments under various conditions, diagnose the mechanisms that cause MGP tar buried in sediments to migrate into overlying water, and demonstrate that our technology would work."
RMT's NAPL Trapping Cap eliminates exposure of human and ecological receptors to tar; reduces costs by focusing the remedy on a targeted remediation area; and alleviates short- and long-term risk via permanent and predictable migration control.
RMT designed and built a full-scale application of the NAPL Trapping Cap - the first of its kind - on the Penobscot River in Maine, a site that posed extreme engineering challenges. Project construction is wrapping up in February 2010. Given the project's success, this new technique is applicable at hundreds of other sites across the country.
RMT is being honored at Environmental Business Journal's (EBJ) Environment Industry Summit on March 3, 2010, with a Technology Merit Award for Remediation for developing this new technology to manage sediment contaminated by MGPs.
About RMT
RMT creates energy and environmental solutions that balance our clients' business and sustainability goals. Headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, the company has over 800 employees located in offices throughout the U.S. RMT has provided construction, engineering, design, and development services for over 3,800 MW of renewable energy across the U.S. RMT is a unit of Alliant Energy Corporation (NYSE:LNT), an energy holding company.

Green Plains Renewable Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq:GPRE) Up On Earnings News
Green Plains Renewable Energy, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2009 Results
Results for the Fourth Quarter of 2009
Net income of $23.1 million
Diluted earnings per share of $0.91
Results for the Full Year of 2009
Net income of $19.8 million
Diluted earnings per share of $0.79
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 22, 2010 - Green Plains Renewable Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq:GPRE) announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2009. Net income attributable to Green Plains was $23.1 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, compared to a net loss attributable to Green Plains of $1.8 million, or $0.08 per share, for the same period of 2008. Revenues were $436.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to revenues of $183.2 million for the same period in 2008. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, revenues were $1.3 billion, with net income attributable to Green Plains of $19.8 million, or $0.79 per diluted share.
"All of our businesses performed well in the fourth quarter," said Todd Becker, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We generated significantly higher operating income during the quarter primarily due to a strong performance from our ethanol production segment. In the fourth quarter, we produced 122 million gallons of ethanol which exceeds our expected capacity. The combination of higher production volumes, a stronger margin environment, and harvest activities for agribusiness resulted in a record quarter."
"During 2009 and more recently, we have continued to see demand for ethanol increase driven by expanded mandates and positive blend margins. This combined with a record corn harvest resulted in an improved margin environment in late 2009 and early 2010. While we are pleased with these trends, our focus remains on risk management, operational excellence, safety and expanding our platform in the coming year as opportunities present themselves," commented Becker.
"I am proud of the many accomplishments our team achieved during 2009. We fortified our operating, administrative and commercial activities while at the same time demonstrated our ability to significantly grow our operating segments. Our business model has been tested through one of the most challenging environments the ethanol industry has seen and continues to prove itself. As a result, we were able to reach profitability for the full year. We believe our industry, and more importantly, our company is on solid footing for the coming years," said Becker.
EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, noncontrolling interests, depreciation and amortization, was $37.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, compared with $6.5 million for the same period in 2008. Green Plains had available liquidity of $138.7 million, including $102.3 million total cash and equivalents, and $36.4 million available under committed loan agreements (subject to satisfaction of specified lending conditions and covenants) at December 31, 2009. EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 was $67.7 million.

On October 14, 2009, Green Plains unveiled BioProcessAlgae, LLC's Phase I Grower Harvester TM pilot project. BioProcessAlgae has completed the installation of Phase I of the multi-phase pilot project and algae production has commenced at the company's Shenandoah ethanol plant.
Green Plains Trade Group LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement to provide third-party ethanol marketing services to Lincolnway Energy, LLC at the end of the third quarter. The addition of Lincolnway, located near Nevada, Iowa, increased our third-party marketing services to four plants with annual expected ethanol production totaling 360 million gallons.
On July 2, 2009, Green Plains completed the acquisition of two Nebraska ethanol plants located near Central City and Ord. The addition of these plants increased the company's expected ethanol production capacity by 45%. Green Plains acquired the ethanol plants from a lender group for $121.0 million which provided debt financing to fund the purchases.
On January 15, 2009, Green Plains Trade entered into an agreement to provide third-party ethanol marketing services to Bushmills Ethanol, Inc. of Atwater, Minnesota.

Blendstar currently operates nine blending and terminaling facilities in the south central United States.

Climate Change in Mongolia leads to crisis - UN appeals for funding
News from the UN on Mongolia crisis
As severe winter spreads death and shortages in Mongolia, UN appeals for funds
http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=33751&Cr=&Cr1=
A herder milks yaks in Must, Khovd Province, Mongolia (file)
12 February 2010 – With weeks of freezing temperatures and heavy snows leaving more than half of Mongolia’s 21 provinces in urgent need of aid, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) today appealed for nearly $750,000 to face a crisis that is already seeing youngsters die and threatens scores of thousands more.
“The UN is acutely aware of the need to reach increasingly isolated populations with fuel and medicines, to get those in need out to trained medical care and to provide hygiene kits to stem the spread of disease, to ensure safe delivery and newborn care and to prevent the deepening of chronic malnutrition,” UNICEF country representative Rana Flowers said.
“This is an unfolding emergency. Of most recent and most urgent concern is evidence that babies and young children are dying because they cannot access the medical treatment from trained personnel that they need,” she added, noting that nine children had died in recent days in just one province according to the Health Ministry.
Over 22,000 children in 265 dormitories are in need of urgent aid due to insufficient food and fuel for heating and cooking, and nearly 500 other dormitories with more than 41,000 youngsters will need assistance as severe conditions spread across the vast country of some 3 million people. Some villages only have enough fuel for three or four more days.
UNICEF, which is working with the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to gear up a significant and coordinated response, faces a “critical need” for an additional $400,000 for medical supplies, equipment, micronutrients and hygiene kits, and $322,000 to reach a growing number of affected communities with life-saving interventions.
The winter conditions, known as a dzud with temperatures plunging as low as -50 degrees Celsius and now hovering around -40, are likely to continue beyond April. The Government has already declared disaster status in 12 provinces with a further seven predicted to follow as further heavy snow is expected.
While Mongolians are used to cold winters, current conditions have been compounded by a severe summer drought, when little fodder was generated, killing more than 2 million livestock in a country where 35 to 40 per cent of the population rely on herding and agriculture

The index is comprised of 119 companies identified by DBCCA from a global universe of ~4,000, each with at least a third of revenues derived from clean technology within investable geographies and exchanges identified by NASDAQ OMX. Of these, 106 companies have over 50% in clean tech revenues, using only demonstrated revenue from filed financial statements. Constituent companies must have market capitalization of $250 million and over $1 million average daily dollar trading volume. The index is equal-weighted to offer greater exposure to smaller-cap companies.
“Climate change has already, and we believe will continue to deliver as an attractive source of alpha - which is one of the reasons why we saw the need to provide investors with a comprehensive, global and accurate benchmark for the sector,” said Kevin Parker, Global Head of Deutsche Bank’s Asset Management division (DeAM) and a member of Deutsche Bank’s Group Executive Committee. “Through this collaboration, we are able to offer investors an index that combines the best of DBCCA’s clean tech investment expertise and thought leadership with NASDAQ OMX’s globally trusted index design and calculation services.”
“This index demonstrates the commitment of two global innovators to provide investors greater insight into companies that are driving the clean technology industry,” said NASDAQ OMX Executive Vice President John Jacobs. NASDAQ OMX looks forward to continuing to work with Deutsche Bank. Together, we offer investors a unique combination of trusted leadership, expertise and services.”
In addition to a price return index, a total return version is also calculated (DBCT).
The DB NASDAQ OMX Clean Tech Index is calculated in real-time and commenced calculation today with a value of 1,000.00. The index provides complete transparency about screening methods, selection criteria, securities, and sector mapping.
