Environmental problems and

issues

Innovative technologies

Technical solutions

Public and

private support

Financing Public Perception Fear that the innovative technologies pose

greater risk because they have not yet proven Inability to enforce environmental

regulations due to LACK of standard protocols in validating a technology supplier’s claim

An objective technical performance evaluation that includes design and conduct of formal testing and documentation governed by technical protocols

Provides the safeguard to the country from phased out or outdated technologies and other technologies that can cause environmental problems

Provide objective and credible performance data

Advance the acceptance and use of environmental technologies in the marketplace

Reduce time and expense in market introduction

Enhance industry incentives to invest in environmental technology research and development
