L Israel is one of the leading
countries in the world in
developing technologies for
the exploitation of solar
energy.
L Israel has the adequate
climate conditions for vast
development of renewable
energy.
L The advantage in using wind
energy in Israel is the
availability of wind in times
when the demand for
electricity is high. According
to official publications the
estimated potential in Israel is
600 megawatts.
L Israel is home to dozens of
government-sponsored
technology incubators that
support some 1,500 start-up
companies developing clean
technologies. Among them
over 100 companies are
developing renewable
energy solutions.

L the Israeli company Solel was
the first to develop and
install a large-scale solar-
powered and fully functional
electricity generating plant in
Southern California's Mojave
desert.
L The above mentioned
technology is now serving
nine Mojave Desert power
plants in that produce 350
megawatts.
L Genova Ltd., an Israeli
company part of the Misgav
Technology Center, has been
included in Red Herring's list
of 100 most promising
companies in 2006 in the
alternative energy category.
L Israeli companies are active
in both R.O. and Evaporation
methods, for large and small
desalination plants.
L Israeli desalination systems
exist in Cyprus, the
Caribbean Islands, South
America, U.N. Forces in
Yugoslavia, India and many
other countries. The largest
plant is being built in Israel,
and is operative since 2005.

L Israeli companies are leaders
in the water metering -
Remote Control metering by
electronic devices are the
fore-front of the technology.
L Israeli companies developed
devices for air quality
monitoring, heavy metals in
water, hydrocarbons, specific
ion analyzers and other
technologies and devices
L Biological Treatment
Technology, generating clean
energy from the degradable
organic matter and sorting
the recyclable materials out
of the waste, is the Israeli
new development
L Scientists from Israel, Belgium,
and the US, are working
together in order to produce
rain in sub-tropical areas.

L "Ormat", an Israeli company
specializing in finding
alternative energy solutions,
is one of the world's leaders
in geothermic energy. It is the
only company dealing with
geothermic energy that can
supply all of its needs
starting from producing and
developing the products, to
their installation, maintenance
and production of the
electricity itself.
L Israel is the only country in
the world that entered the
21st century with a net gain in
its number of trees.
L Israel, by inventing the Solar
Hot water system, became
the leading country in the
world in the use of solar
I s r a e l ' s C o o l
energy per capita.
Installation of solar hot water
heating has become the norm
in countries with an
abundance of solar radiation,
like Israel and Greece, and in
Japan and Austria, where
there is less.
L Atlantium, an Israeli company,
has developed a water
disinfecting system combining
ultraviolet light and fiber
optic concepts - the new
technology can eradicate
microbes far more efficiently
and cost effectively than any
current technique
L Israeli consulting and
engineering companies are
active all around the World,
offering the best know-how,
technologies and expertise in:

-Water Saving
-Combating Desertification
-Agro-Ecology
-Animal Waste Treatment
-Environmental Risk
Assessment
-Monitoring and Control
Management
-Water Total Management
L In response to the serious
water shortage, Israeli
engineers and agriculturalists
developed a revolutionary
drip irrigation system to
minimize the amount of
water used to grow crops.
L An Israeli company is
providing the technology
behind an American all-
electric bus for urban use.
