In The NewsColin Ground Comments on Investment in CleantechPublished: 11/18/2009 On November 18, 2009, Colin Ground provided commentary for "Cleantech 'New Gold Rush for Business,'" an article which appeared in the Financial Post. Colin noted that the perception that clean technology is the next high-growth area for business is partly the reason for increasing investment in the sector. He also said that government initiatives such as Ontario's green energy legislation and Sustainable Development Technology Canada have helped spur investor spending in the sector. Colin observed that the Toronto Stock Exchange's involvement in cleantech is attracting attention to Ontario and Canada and that a North American carbon-trading system will help accelerate the growth of clean technology.

He has developed an expertise in carbon finance with a focus on emissions trading through working with carbon offset originators and aggregators, clean-technology companies and funds. |
