• Evaluating financial viability and potential environmental benefits of cleantech innovations for securing capital investments from sources such as venture capital firms and government green fund grants.
• Forecasting or analyzing financial costs associated with climate change or other environmental factors, such as cleaning water supplies and demands.
• Identifying potential financial investments that are environmentally sound, considering issues such as carbon emissions and biodiversity.
