| Sourced From |

BOULDER, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today Pike Research announced the launch of its new Carbon Management Advisory Service, a subscription-based information suite that provides market intelligence and strategy insights for companies seeking to efficiently manage the carbon emissions of their own organizations, as well as those looking to leverage software technologies and managed services for enterprise carbon management applications.

“Although it is a relatively nascent and fragmented sector today, we anticipate that enterprises in a variety of industries will dramatically increase their focus, as well as their spending, on carbon management software and services during the next few years.”

“The considerable attention to climate change, coupled with an increasing focus on energy efficiency and cost, have laid the groundwork for an emerging carbon management market,” says managing director Clint Wheelock.  “Although it is a relatively nascent and fragmented sector today, we anticipate that enterprises in a variety of industries will dramatically increase their focus, as well as their spending, on carbon management software and services during the next few years.”

As part of its Carbon Management service, Pike Research’s industry analysts offer timely and actionable market insights, covering specific technology and business sectors as well as overall market conditions and trends.  Research reports include an in-depth examination of business models, technology issues, policy and regulatory factors, the competitive landscape, and market sizing, segmentation and forecasting.

A few of Pike Research’s key forecasts about the emerging Carbon Management market include the following:

* The carbon management software and services market will grow from $384 million in 2009 to more than $4.3 billion by 2017, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 40%.
* The electric utility sector represents a prime market opportunity for carbon management, as it experiences a dramatic transformation amidst a range of business and regulatory challenges.  Pike Research forecasts that utilities will invest a total of more than $3.8 billion in carbon management during the period from 2010 to 2017.
* The United States government, one of the largest consumers of energy, will also be one of the major adopters of carbon management software and services, with spending reaching nearly $300 million per year by 2017.
* Global manufacturing industries accounted for about 40% of total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2007, making manufacturing the single largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.  As a result, carbon management and reduction have become serious issues for manufacturers, and Pike Research expects the annual market for software and services in this sector to increase nearly tenfold by 2017.
