- 21. FAQ Answers to likelyquestions to cater to your curiosity!
- 22. What exactly isthe scope of cleantech? Is it just clean energy? • Cleantech extends far beyond clean energy, and into energy efficiency, sustainable materials, sustainable agriculture, green chemicals, sustainable transport, water & waste management being the other prominent dimensions of cleantech. Today, there’s even sustainable fashion! • The size of the total cleantech market could be 10 times as large as the clean energy market alone!
- 23. What is theneed for a cleantech marketplace? Isn’t cleantech all about government policies and World Bank loans? • Most times we hear clean tech only in the form of government policies and incentives. But there’s a large section within cleantech that is market driven. • Many large cleantech domains such as energy efficiency, sustainable materials, water management, green chemicals and more are more market driven today than are mandate driven.
- 24. Aren’t most cleantechbusinesses losing money? If so, how will your platform be profitable? • A good number of clean energy companies and ventures in a few other cleantech domains such as waste management are indeed facing serious financial challenges. • But profitable companies are emerging in domains such as energy efficiency, sustainable materials and others. • Besides, our platform is not just looking at product or solution sales, but for the first few years will be more focused on benefits such as education, training and jobs. All these are monetizable and are growing fast across all cleantech sub-domains.
- 25. Why can’t folksjust use the current content, community & commerce market platforms for cleantech products and solutions? • Most online market platforms today focus on pure e-commerce as the products they are selling do not need any customer education. • Cleantech, on the other hand, is a nascent industry with significant customer education needs. A platform like CleanTick that overlays education and awareness creation on all the other dimensions has the potential to create new markets – markets that have latent needs today but that can be tapped through a different mechanism than pure E-commerce.
- 26. How critical arethe needs and benefits that you have identified for the various stakeholder segments? Need/Benefit Criticality of Need Is the need being satisfied by existing alternatives? Learning & Education Medium No Training & Guidance Medium-High No Marketing & Promotions High Somewhat Yes Jobs & Careers High Yes, but differentiation still possible Shopping of Products & Solutions Medium Somewhat Yes Interactions with Experts & Community Medium No Event Hosting Medium-High No Go to Market Assistance High No
- 27. How are yousure your framework can result in higher cleantech adoption and new market creation? • We are confident because we have used established concepts while arriving at the design for platform. Specifically, we used the following three concepts: • Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs • The Influencer Concept • Richard Thaler’s Concept of Nudges
- 28. And just who’sbehind CleanTick? • CleanTick has been conceptualized and is being implemented by EAI (Energy Alternatives India) which has been focused on the cleantech domain for over 10 years, offering consulting and marketing assistance services.
