Web for environmental sustainability: identifying the emerging markets of the Cleanweb
Many companies now use the Web in ways that could benefit the environment. This could represent the emergence of a new sector, sometimes called cleanweb in analogy with the emergence of the cleantech sector in the 2000s. This research is investigating the structure of this new market. The following verticals and sub-verticals have been identified, and example companies are shown. These interim results are enabling a discussion within the international cleanweb community to better define the term cleanweb. A defined structure of the new sector can facilitate its development with a shared vocabulary between investors, entrepreneurs, customers, employees and public agencies

Abstract
Many companies now use the Web in ways that could benefit the environment. This could represent the emergence of a new sector, sometimes called cleanweb in analogy with the emergence of the cleantech sector in the 2000s. This research is investigating the structure of this new market. The following verticals and sub-verticals have been identified, and example companies are shown. These interim results are enabling a discussion within the international cleanweb community to better define the term cleanweb. A defined structure of the new sector can facilitate its development with a shared vocabulary between investors, entrepreneurs, customers, employees and public agencies
