Bringing Energy into the 21st Century: Technology will Lead the Way

There are significant issues facing the global energy markets that are creating a growing demand for advanced technology solutions. Whether it is available supply at a reasonable cost, the need for cleaner sources of supply, or the need for a more reliable supply chain, an important component of the global solution will come from advanced technologies that are entering the commercial arena today. This expanding market for energy technology is attracting venture capital, and firms like Nth Power are pioneering this new field of venture investing.
