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Provides the safeguard to the country from phased out or outdated technologies and other technologies that can cause environmental problems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