Proactive environmental businesses leading
Clean-energy technologies and pollution prevention processes will grow substantially over the next two years, according to projections by Environmental Business International, Inc. (EBI), a consulting and publishing firm that regularly surveys the environmental industry. EBI calculates that the environmental industry as a whole is growing at a modest 2.1% rate, but it projects that technologies for producing clean energy, such as solar, wind, and fuel cells, will grow 16.5% from 2001s $9.96 billion by 2004. Equipment and technology for preventing pollution (as opposed to end-of-pipe controls) and waste treatment and recovery are expected to grow 8.0% during the same period, from their 2001 level of $1.26 billion.
