Clean Tech and New Energy Awards 2012

(Before It's News)

 
The magazine The New Economy has released its list of Clean Tech and New Energy Award winners for 2012, celebrating “companies who have pursued new thinking for existing technologies.”

“The award winners represent a large spectrum of intelligent ideas for the creation and saving of energy and resources. From better ways to preserve water to creating power via hydroelectricity, The New Economy has evaluated the projects that will serve and impact on the way of life well into the next century. The winners represent the companies who are delivering progress in this area while considering our relationship with the environment at the same time.”

The full announcement along with articles on some of the winning technologies can be found in the Autumn edition of The New Economy, currently on sale, but a full list of the winners is copied below.
