環(huán)境保護(hù)和污染治理已經(jīng)成為現(xiàn)在大家最關(guān)注的話題之一。發(fā)展清潔科技，提高能源使用效率成為提升環(huán)境質(zhì)量的不二選擇。

Cleantech refers to the technology that is itself environmentally friendly or that helps reduce environmental problems; or the business sector that produces such technology.
清潔科技指的是本身就很環(huán)保，或者能幫助減少環(huán)境問題的科技，也可以指生產(chǎn)此種技術(shù)產(chǎn)品的商業(yè)部門。

Venture capital investment in clean technology businesses rose sharply in 2007, reflecting political and consumer support for a greener economy.
2007年，對清潔科技產(chǎn)業(yè)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)投資出現(xiàn)大幅上升，反映出政治人士和消費(fèi)者對環(huán)保經(jīng)濟(jì)的支持。

Clean applications — which include renewable power, energy efficiency and recycling — are seen as particularly promising areas.
清潔科技應(yīng)用被視為非常有發(fā)展前景的領(lǐng)域，包括可再生電力、提高能源效率及回收利用。
