After more than three and half years of research (and updated for 2011), EBI presents its premier version of Report 4000: The Climate Change Industry. CCBJ's current estimates peg the climate change industry on the order of $190 billion in the United States in 2009 and $620 billion worldwide.

Report 4110: Solar Energy Industry is a thorough examination and quantitative analysis of the solar energy industry. Figures include U.S. and global sales and growth in equipment & systems sales in photovoltaics and solar thermal, the value of energy produced in electricity from PV and concentrating solar thermal power (CSTP) and heat and hot water from solar water heating (SWH) units. Revenues in specialty services like site evaluation, planning & permitting and installation are also presented. Companies all across the supply chain are profiled.

Report 4120: Wind Energy Markets (updated for 2011) contains detailed global coverage of manufacturers, developers, global, national, regional and state markets; charts of global wind energy industry growth by turbine sales, wind generated electricity sales, installed wind capacity, turbine marketshare, and wind turbine sales in U.S.; highlights of CCBJ Wind Industry Survey; the race for offshore wind energy; plus coverage and profiles of leading manufacturers, developers and consulting & engineering firms.

Report 4130: The Bioenergy Industry (updated for 2011) examines the biopower sector, including companies in biomass gasification, anaerobic digestion, landfill-gas-to-energy and conventional combustion. It also covers the ethanol sector and emerging algae and cellulosic technology. This report includes charts of growth forecasts for the U.S. bioenergy industry, global ethanol production, lists of top U.S. biodiesel plants in 2007 and algae-to-energy companies, highlights from CCBJ Bioenergy Industry survey, biomass power in China, India and Europe, stock performance of companies in the biofuels business, and company profiles.

Report 4140: Geothermal Energy (updated for 2011) explores finance, policy, market and technology issues in depth with project developers, lenders, investors, researchers and industry analysts. We also examine the emergence of competitors to Ormat for the fast-growing low-temperature segment of geothermal, the tantalizing potential of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), also known as hot dry rock (HDR), and market opportunities and barriers in developing countries.

Report 4150: The Wave and Tidal Power Industry (updated for 2011) focuses on a new class of devices that generate power from ocean waves and tides and from the in-stream flow of rivers. Collectively, this emerging sub-segment of the low-carbon and renewable power segment is referred to alternately as hydro-kinetic energy or advanced water power (to distinguish it from conventional hydro-power), but is also frequently referred to by the more simple term wave & tidal power.

Report 4200: Carbon Capture & Storage Markets (updated for 2011) profiles CCS development and pilot plant activity in Europe, Canada and the U.S. and a list of major carbon capture and storage projects. In addition to charts depicting percentage of electricity generation from coal, fuel costs,and the operating cost increase of coal fired plants with CCS, forecasts and likely development scenario derived from interviews and a comprehensive CCBJ survey are presented.

Report 4300: Energy Efficiency & Demand Response (updated for 2011) explores the policy and market drivers that animate the EE&DR industry today. We pay particular attention to the new and emerging business models that have built DR services into a $370 million market from virtually nothing 10 years ago. We examine the strategies of utilities and their consultants to leverage DR and EE to mitigate their climate change exposure and limit the growth of expensive peak generation. And we explore the strategies of consulting engineering firms, technology developers, energy service companies and other participants in this robust and dynamic market.

Report 4400: Energy Storage (updated for Fall 2011) focuses on the Energy Storage Industry which at the utility level is a $2.7-billion industry in the United States. Batteries and fuel cells for transportation and other non-consumer uses represent an additional $17 billion, but the broader energy storage business offers considerable potential given the interest of investors, utilities, governments and the world's largest corporations. This report covers policy and market drivers, technologies and business models shaping an industry that CCBJ expects to reach $5 billion in the United States alone by 2014 (including transportation batteries).

Report 4500: Green Building Markets (updated for 2011) estimates the U.S. green building industry at $45 billion in 2007, leveling to $50-55 billion in 2008 and 2009, in terms of value of green buildings put in place during the calendar year. Annual growth was 30-40% from 2004-2007, after 50-60% growth in 2001-2003 when EBI Inc. started estimating the value of green buildings based on LEED certification data, total construction data, interviews and surveys of practitioners and experts. Green building markets have slowed in the recession but the percentage of projects in the category has actually increased more than anticipated as government and institutional markets remain busy.
