Developing renewable energy technology constitutes the single greatest business opportunity for the Irish economy, the Minister for the Environment John Gormley has said.

He said the global 'clean tech' sector is now worth $284bn and that figure is projected to rise to €1.3trillion in just a decade's time.

The minister said it would be an enormous lost opportunity if the 'green tech' solutions of the future were left to other countries to develop.

He argued Ireland should replicate the growth of its existing biotech and pharmaceutical industries.

Mr Gormley said the Government's cabinet Sub-Committee on Climate Change and Energy Security was examining the green tech issue very closely.
