Clean technology, also known as cleantech or climatetech, refers to the use of technology to reduce environmental impacts and promote sustainable development.

Environmental finance is primarily used to support the development and deployment of clean technologies, facilitating the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Clean technology harnesses renewable materials and energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydro power, to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate climate change.

A carbon project is an initiative that reduces greenhouse gas emissions, such as reforestation or renewable energy projects, which can generate carbon credits that can be traded on the carbon market.

Wind power, solar power, and hydroelectric power are examples of clean technologies that reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease carbon emissions.
