Total investment in the sector is estimated over USD473 billion within the period. The market is expected to grow at an annual compound rate of 15-20%, with an industry output value of USD773 billion by 2015. Correspondingly, demand for eco products, services and technology is anticipated to rise sharply. Hong Kong The Hong Kong government has been actively promoting the domestic green agenda. These include a USD56.3 million funding scheme for building owners to conduct energycum-carbon audit, and enacting Building Energy Efficiency legislation this year so as to reduce the greenhouse gas emission by 19-33%. Another USD37.5 million funding scheme is launched to promote the use of electric vehicles. While the need to upgrade waste treatment mechanisms and increase recycling rate are creating a strong demand for waste management solutions and recycling technologies.
