Review of existing Knowledge about greentech

Abstract

In the statement quoted above, O’Rourke reminds us that greentech (see below for a comparative definition of “greentech” and “cleantech”) has reached a point in its evolution at which future development will be shaped, and at which the industry’s fate hinges on decisions taken by stakeholders and investors in particular. Researchers are laying the foundation for these decisions by providing knowledge about greentech from various perspectives. At the same time, however, greentech remains a young, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary field of research in which many practical and highly relevant issues have yet to be touched by academic researchers (Russo (2003)).
