SustainX
, developer of an industry
-
leading,
transformative technology for utility
-
scale bulk energy storage using compressed air, was
named to the prestigious
2012 Global Cleantech 100
, produced by
Cleantech Group
, a
leading global research and advisory firm focused on innovation in energy and the
environment
.
This is the third year in a row that SustainX has received this honor.
The Global Cleantech 100 list is
unique in the sector because it highlights the promise of
private clean technology companies from around the world, focusing on those
companies
that market experts feel are
currently
most likely to make the most significant impact
over the next 5
-
10 years
.
The list is derived from Cleantech Group's own data and research combined with the
weighted qualitative judgments of hundreds of nominations and the viewpoints of a
global panel of 75 cleantech experts. To qualify for the list, companies must be
indep
endent, for
-
profit, cleantech companies that are not listed on any major stock
exchange.
Nearly 8,300
companies were nominated this year from 85 countries. These companies
were weighted and scored to create a short list of 236 companies
that were
presente
d to
the expert panel
for final input. The end result was 100 companies from 13 countries.
The 75
-
member expert panel is drawn principally from leading financial investors in
Asia, Europe and North America, an
d from representatives of multi
national corporations.
The composition of the panel is
designed
to be broadly representative of the global
cleantech community, and includes pioneers, leaders, veterans, and new entrants in
cleantech
.
"The 2012 Global Cleantech 100 is markedly different
in its composition to that of 2009,
our first edition," said Richard Youngman, Cleantech Group Managing Director. "As
such, it is a strong statement of how the collective market opinion has shifted as to what
type of companies are the most likely to have
significant market impact in a 5
-
10 year
timeframe."
