Solar down by 2/3 in absolute since 3Q08, but still
1/3 of overall venture investment
Biofuels: virtually all investment in follow-on rounds
Energy storage rebounding
Transportation remains steady
Top transportation rounds in 1Q09
1Q09 Takeaways
• 1Q09: second consecutive sharp decline in cleantech VC– 2008: end of the first cleantech boom
– Solar continues to be the dominant investment theme, with transportation,
biofuels, batteries as secondary themes
• 2009: driven by global stimulus and policy drivers– $400B in global stimulus allocated to ‘green’ sectors and projects
– Upcoming policy initiatives on climate, carbon, energy
• Secular long-term drivers remain intact– Energy demand is positively correlated to increase in per-capita income
– Climate change solutions require substitution away from oil and coal
– Long-term supply issues for oil and other sources of traditional energy
The Key Takeaways!
• 2006-08: the first cleantech boom• Solar is the dominant investment theme, with transportation, biofuels, batteries as
secondary themes
• Long-term drivers remain intact– Energy demand is positively correlated to increase in per-capita income
– Long-term scarcity of oil, natural gas and other sources of traditional energy
– Climate change solutions require substitution away from oil and coal
• 2009: a year of transition– We expect 2009 to remain depressed due to credit crunch and recession
• Deal sizes, valuations to pull back significantly
• Energy and commodity prices cease to be short-term drivers of confidence
– Stimulus and tax plans globally are focused on clean technologies, energy
efficiency, and green jobs. Shift of leadership from private to public sector
Government Spending - Largest Projects in History
Compiled from numerous sources by Intel Corporation
(Inflation Adjusted)
Global Stimulus Spending on Cleantech
About $400 billion has been earmarked for ‘green’ investments, with about 50% of that amount expected to be invested in 2009.
Percentage of stimulus spending directed towards cleantech across selected countries:
South Korea - 69 percentChina - 38 percentFrance - 20 percentUS -16 percentEU package -14 percentGermany - 13 percentUK - 7 percentJapan - 2.6 percentItaly - 1 percentIndia - 0 percentPoland - 0 percent

Conclusions
• 2009: back to earth for cleantech – its first ‘down’ year– Valuations reset
– Exits/M&As and IPOs continue to lag
– Policy initiatives globally will be the main driver
• Some Key New Themes to watch out for – Smart Grid
– Green Buildings
– Technologies that make traditional energy sources and existing
industrial processes cleaner and more efficient
