As supplies of fossil fuels dwindle so prices rise and security of supply impacts on western industrial economies - which are now highly dependent on oil, gas and coal. This, and concerns that carbon emissions are contributing to climate change, have conspired to create a vibrant and rapidly expanding market for renewable energy technologies. There are parallels between today's energy market and the early days of the Internet. Then large IT vendors, claiming the Internet would never be reliable enough to support commercial applications, largely ignored the army of innovative companies building web based software tools and services. Incumbent energy providers appear to be making a similar mistake as they jealously guard the last mile of their networks. In the fast moving renewable energy market it is important to identify which technologies and services, as well as having a significant impact on carbon emissions, could provide the basis for viable and profitable businesses. This report provides 101 examples of the use of renewable energy technology or emission reduction initiatives. While some of the applications are speculative, for example distributed power generation and household hydrogen refuelling stations, others, such as hot water solar systems and medium size wind turbines, have already been deployed and are earning revenue for vendors.
