This document discusses green technology and its importance for sustainable development. It notes that fossil fuel production is declining while renewable energy sources currently only provide 2% of power. Green technologies can help displace fossil fuels by harnessing renewable resources like solar and wind. Adopting green tech benefits the environment, is sustainable long-term, and can create new jobs. The future of green technologies looks promising as governments and the private sector increasingly invest in renewable energy plans and environmental initiatives.

2. The Reality
Fossil Fuel production is projected to decline in the near
future.
•Oil production will start declining in 2012 followed by
natural gas between 2010 and 2020 and coal between 2020
and 2030.
•86% of the world’s primary power comes from fossil fuels.
•<2% of the world’s primary power comes from renewable
resources (geothermic, solar, wind, etc).

3. What are Green Technologies?
•Green Technologies envelops all technologies that have been designed to help the
environment and lessen our dependency on fossil fuels.
• It works on the principle of sustainable development.

7. Technical advancement in this field
•Photovoltaic panels transform the sun’s rays into energy shoe that
converts the wearer’s footsteps into electricity
•Their campus, called Science city is installing systems that will allow it to
harness natural heat during the warmer months, pump it underground and
store it until the winter when it be pushed back up into buildings and act
as a heating system.
•Use of rubber to make roads gives long lasting roads without damages for
long time. Rubber being non decomposable is reused in best way.

8. The Future of Green Technologies
•Government’s starting renewable energy plans for their nations.
•Government’s starting environmental procedures to help the environment
out.
•Human’s are becoming aware of the affects they take on this planet and
acting.
•The Private Sector is investing in green technologies for good PR and to save
money.

9. CONCLUSION
Green technology becomes the main choice for the
products and services and has larger local market.
Increase of research, development and innovation by local
university/research institution to be commercialized
through local industry cooperation/multinational company
Widespread of green technology to reduce overall
resource utilization, by maintaining country’s economic
growth
