Earth2Tech Maps: 101 Cleantech Startups

Written by Craig Rubens

If you’re wondering where the cleantech hot spots are around the globe, then we have the ultimate map for you: Earth2Tech’s 101 Cleantech Startups, where you can see how cleantech companies are sprouting up all over the place.

The different sectors — like solar, energy storage, biofuels and electric vehicles — are all represented by a logo, and each pin on the map has all of the vital stats for each startup (founding year, investors, technology, etc.). We admit we’ve got a bit of a Valley skew, but we’ve thrown in some of the international cleantech heavyweights as well.

And for those of you who are fans of our other maps, make sure to check out our Biofuels Deathwatch map and Coal Deathwatch map.

Bio-Foolish Behavior
By INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Friday, February 22, 2008 4:20 PM PT

Environment: In 2005, America used 15% of its corn crop to replace just 2% of its gasoline. Two new studies say use of biofuels will leave the world a warmer and hungrier place.

What a great post – thanks! I shared this (and other posts) with Netshare’s GreenTechnology forum and the members were quite appreciative. My teenagers also use your posts in school – their teachers like the up to date information. Keep up the good work.

Green energy is definitely the best solution in most cases. Technology like solar energy, wind power, fuel cells, zaps electric vehicles, EV hybrids, etc have come so far recently. Green energy even costs way less than oil and gas in many cases.

Very interesting article…I am wondering about the criteria used to come up with this list, or map?

An example of a criteria for this type of map in my mind can be seen at:

I have to disagree with Sanjong Thapa, Dude/Duderette we are not hear to feed the world, NO one nation can do that and the United States does a very good job at sending food all over the world, but your so called “The Environmental Elite = The Enemy of the Poor & Hungry” is so far off base that it makes me sick. if we keep using fossil fuels they will not be alive to enjoy the food we send or the food we TEACH them to grow. it is called being a good steward to the land and stop killing them selves over food and learn to share the burden to make their countries a better place to live, see they need to take responsibility for their own future. With our help they will succeed, but they have to want to change and until that happens all the help in the world will fail. it is not the fault of “The Environmental Elite” They are leading the way to a better world and world that will live as one a greener world a world where every man calls each other brother and not enemy. Green tech or clean tech is the beginning of a much better world for ALL mankind. so stop being cynical of what we are doing and go out and help teach the future of life. we need everyone to help and not just the “Environmental Elite” join us and help save the world. be part of real change.
