The fourth quarter of 2009 for the Clean Energy Patent Growth Index (CEPGI) was issued by Cleantech Group of Heslin Rothenberg Farley & Mesiti P.C.
1) The number of patents granted in the clean energy sector has rapidly increased
2) The number of the granted patents in the automobile sub-sector is much larger than those in the remaining sub-sectors. The figure is outstanding.
3) Honda is still strong in the clean energy sector.
4) GE, one of major companies in the U.S., is actively developing the clean energy technologies, including particularly the wind power technology.
****************
Results through the fourth quarter of 2009 reveal the CEPGI for 2009 to be at its highest level in the eight year period of its tracking at 1125 granted patents, up over 20 percent (about 200 patents).
Patents in fuel cells and hybrid/electric vehicles were each up over twenty percent over 2008 with solar patents up sixty percent and biomass/biofuel energy patents up two hundred sixty percent. Fuel Cells, wind, and biomass/biofuel energy patents were also at all time highs in 2009. In contrast, hydroelectric and tidal patents decreased in 2009 while geothermal patents were up only one patent over the year prior.
Honda again claimed the Clean Energy Patent crown in 2009 by edging General Motors out by four patents. Honda leads overall since 2002 and automobile companies occupy 5 of the top ten patent leader spots since 2002.
GE made the top ten in 2009 continuing its strong showing in clean energy patents having over twice the patents of its nearest wind patent competitor, Aloys Wobben, the owner of Enercon GmbH of Germany.

Research Report on Japan Fuel Cell Market in 2009, Published by Fuji-Keizai
Fuji-Keizai Ltd. carried out the market research on the Japan Fuel Cell market in 2009 and its related market, and published the fuel cell research report, entitled “Future Outlook for Fuel Cell Related Technologies and Market: 2010 Vol.1”.
The essentials of the market research report are:
1) The residential fuel-cell cogeneration or CHP systems will steadily grow.
2) The real market of the FCVs will start in around 2015. After 2020, the FCVs will lead the whole fuel cell market forward.
3) The automobile sub-sector and the home sub-sector have the market share of 92%. The shipments of the fuel cell systems in those sub-sectors will rapidly increase.
４）When the portable fuel cells reach a predetermined amount of shipments, the market will grow since a variety of products use the batteries.
It is not denied that there are many people who deny and have doubts about the relation between co2 increase and the global warming increase. It is believed that the fuel cell is a typical implementation of the renewable power generation technology, and is the device indispensable to the fossil energy substitution. In this sense, much efforts to develop the fuel cell technology for its commercialization must be continuously made particularly from the point of view of the government energy policy. It seems that the residential fuel-cell CHP systems will be market competitive in around 2015, and the market is expected to expand at high rate. At least Panasonic has explicitly expressed that the company will export the FC CHP systems in the future. I hope that the shipments of the residential fuel-cell CHP systems will increase to be in excess of the expected one.
