The Low Carbon Sector
A 2009 Ends report by consultancy firm Innovas revealed the UK to have the sixth largest 'low carbon and environmental goods and services' (LCEGS) sector (following the US, China, Japan, India and Germany). The sector includes alternative power generation and greener transport fuels, building technologies, carbon finance, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) which generated £106.5 billion in 2007/08 and is predicted to be growing to £154.8 billion by 2014 (45% growth). The lion's share will take place in the renewable energy sector, with wind having the highest predicted growth. [1] [2]
