  • Abstract
  • Table of
    Contents
  • Alternative energy—especially sustainable energy—has attracted the attention of many in government and industry. It is seen as a way of reducing reliance on fossil fuels and reducing greenhouse gas generation.

    Materials used for the construction of alternative energy generation systems are a growing market for chemicals. Increased solar power capacity has caused a significant increase in the price of polysilicon. Wind power requires composite materials for turbine blades.

    The report covers:

    • An overview of solar and wind power generation
    • Company profiles of market leaders
    • Photovoltaic chemicals
    • Wind turbine fiber composites
