Past industry growth (1995-2007)
[1]
Projected industry growth (2007-2017)
[2]
Several renewable energy companies listed on stock exchanges in the period since 2000. The early 21st century was a very productive time for the renewable energy industry following decisions by many governments to set long term renewable energy targets. In 2004 Russia ratified the United Nations' Kyoto Protocol and the first order under this agreement came into force for the period 2008 to 2012. The period from 2002 to 2008 was a period of rapid growth for the renewable energy industry with the photovoltaics industry experiencing an average of 60% growth per annum, the biodiesel industry 42% and the wind industry 25%[1]. As of the end of 2007 the renewable energy industry was worth an estimated US $77.3 billion[2]. As a result of this growth several companies listed IPOs.
Many public companies involved in the development of this industry and responsible for large market share do not participate exclusively in renewable energy and have been omitted for this list, most notable of these are BP, GE Energy and Sharp. This list consists of companies whose primary produce is either renewable energy or renewable energy products and services.
