About the Developer's Guide
The North Carolina Economic Developer's Guide to the Renewable Energy Industries is designed primarily as a tool to provide economic developers with information about the industries in the renewable energy and energy eficiency ields so that they are able to identify growth opportunities appropriate for their area. Volume 2 of the Guide offers even more detailed information about the supply chain and technology development of green energy technologies than Volume 1, plus it offers additional information about markets, policies, technologies and trends affecting these industries
Much information is available about the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies and the beneits they provide. The Guide, however, is focused on an area of green energy closely related to economic development - the manufacture and development of the equipment and technologies that make using green energy resources possible. Aside from its focus on manufacturing, the Guide briely examines roles local energy sources can fulill in regional economies and provides a framework for evaluating opportunities.
