Gross Domestic Product (GDP)is a way of measuring the size

of an economy, and is calculatedby summing the value added from

all industries in the economy.This measure can be used for acountry as well as a state, in

which case it can also beexpressed as Gross StateProduct (GSP).

Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32) was signed intoCalifornia law in 2006. AB 32 has putCalifornia at the forefront of climate

change policy by requiring thestate to reduce its greenhouse

gas (GHG) emissions to1990 levels by 2020.

Dear Friends,

We are pleased to release the fourth edition of the Cali fornia Green Innovation Index, which

tracks the economic impacts of polic ies that reduce state carbon emissions. Since 2008, we have

analyzed key indicators including greenhouse gas emissions relative to economic growth, energy

productivity, venture capital investment, and patent activity in c lean technology. Our ndings show

that Californias economy is gradually transitioning away from ca rbon-based energy toward a more

energy productive future.

top fiNdiNgs of the 2012 IndexiNclude:

Clean technology investment and innovation are driving growth in Californ ias overall economy:

California attracted $3.5 billion of cleantech investment in 2011, representing 25 percent of total VC

investment in the nation.

California ranks rst in the nation in green technology patents registrations, accruing 910 patents

between 2008 and 2010.

Growth in Cal ifornias renewable energy portfolio and energy productivit y continues to outpace

the rest of the nation:

Californias energy generation from renewable sources increased 11.2 percent from 2009 to 2010,

representing 13.7 percent of total energy production in the state. This increase was dr iven by

a 44 percent jump in wind generation capacity.

Californias dependency on carbon is shrinking:

Since 1990 Californias per capita GDP expanded 16 percent while GHG emissions per capita fell

16 percent.

For every dollar of GDP generated in 2009, California required 28 percent less carbon than in 1990.

This years special feature examines the states solar sector, which is seeing major growth and

development. We examine trend lines of cost, venture capital investment, patent registrations a nd

market penetration. California recently surpassed 1,000 megawatts of solar energy capacity, putting

our state in the company of top solar-adopting countries.

Californias ability to foster and develop new ideas, markets and technology is unique. The purpose ofthe California Green Innovation Index is to document the impacts of Californias efforts to transition to

a low carbon economy in order to understand what works and what doesnt in driving innovation.

Sincerely,

F. Noel Perry

Over the last decade, investment in cleantech has grown as a percentage oftotal venture capital (VC) investment in the state. In 2011, 25 percent ofstatewide VC investment was awarded to cleantech companies, up from fourpercent in 2005.
