Renewable and cleantech

Renewable energy is coming of age. From being a marginal source of generation it has moved to the mainstream. And while the investment and market support context remains complex, it is attracting considerable interest from institutional investors looking for steady long-term returns. At the same time, there is the quest to make fossil fuel generation cleaner and more efficient, including the challenge and uncertainty of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology.
