Clean energy is favored by investors

The continued sluggishness of global stock markets has led to the closure of overseas listing doors for several months. In the first three quarters of 2011, the return on investment of IPO investments by investment institutions has shrunk dramatically. In contrast, the domestic venture capital market continues to be active and emerging fields such as clean energy are favored by investors. At the annual China Investment Conference held on the 27th, the reporter learned that since the beginning of this year, the domestic green energy industry, such as new energy, energy conservation and environmental protection, has exceeded US$1 billion.

As the window to go to the US market was basically closed, in the third quarter of 2011, only one potato company listed on the Nasdaq for 174 million U.S. dollars, and on the first day of the listing, it was “broken up.” Even if the listed companies have been listed, most of them are still in the market. In the trough, many companies listed since 2010 fell below the issue price. Under this influence, many companies postponed or withdrawn their IPOs or additional issuance plans, and Chinese companies listed in the United States entered a low point.

However, in China, as the government and society pay more and more attention to environmental issues, the scale of the clean energy industry has been expanding year by year, making it one of the most active industries in venture capital. On September 7, the State Council issued the “12th Five-Year Plan for Comprehensive Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Work Programs” to clarify the overall requirements and main objectives of energy conservation and emission reduction during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period. The introduction of this program was once again a clean energy and energy-saving environmental protection industry. Development provides favorable policies. According to ChinaVenture Investment Group's financial data product CVSource statistics, from 2009 to date, the scale of green industries such as new energy, energy saving and environmental protection has increased year by year. In 2009, 73 investment cases were disclosed, with a total investment of 724 million U.S. dollars; disclosed in 2010. 96 Since then, the total investment amounted to 1.289 billion U.S. dollars; 35 cases were disclosed in the first half of 2011, and the total investment reached 1.039 billion U.S. dollars. Not surprisingly, the scale of investment this year will continue to exceed the previous year.
