Environmental business International continues its webinar series with a 1-hour review and 1-hour Q&A discussion of the recent Environmental Business Journal edition on emerging or disruptive technology in the environmental industry today and for the rest of the decade.

Information management and automated & remote monitoring dominate the activity as the decade dawns, but few seem to know what to do with artificial intelligence and blockchain.
Environmental companies are aware, however that their competitive future increasingly depends on their technical edge.

Join presenter Grant Ferrier, editor of EBJ since 1988 as he summarizes this intriguing topic and presents results of EBJ’s environmental industry survey of expectations about deployment of technology today and investment over the decade, and what type of clients and environmental media applications will see the most movement.

CCBJ estimates climate change industry consulting revenues  at $4.6 billion in the United States, and substantially more in climate-related engineering, construction and contracting for a total market of more than $20 billion. Core segments of  Adaptation & Resilience and Mitigation & Compliance are still mostly the realm of specialist firms, but entities of all types are positioning business propositions in climate change. CCBJ’s recent edition on CCC quantifies all aspects of the market, but also profiles 11 leading practitioners.

EBI’s webcast on the subject explains the details of its market quantification and growth models, strategic objectives of major competitor types, and key indicator statistics that form the basis for long-term market demand.

Natural Resources Management represents a growing $3.3 billion slice of the $34 billion U.S. environmental consulting & engineering industry. In spite of curtailed momentum in natural resource policy in federal agencies, statutes and regulations have hardly been eroded and reinvigorated efforts in state & local jurisdictions and resilient private markets driven by development have paced growth in NRM services. EBJ’s recent research on the subject includes a comprehensive survey of NRM companies with collective perspective on market drivers, client trends, and the already revolutionary impact of technology. EBI’s webcast on NRM features detailed analysis of the NRM market and current trends, and presents key indicator statistics on ecosystems and iconic species.

EBJ continues its webinar series with a complete analysis and a strategic overview of the $24-billion U.S. Air Quality & Air Pollution Control market. With an emphasis on services, market drivers, pollutants and client sectors, the 90-minute review includes data from EBJ’s Q4 2019 comprehensive survey of AQ&APC equipment and services vendors, and the presentation of historical data on emissions, fuels consumption, APC technology applications and other factors that indicate future growth prospects in the market. Trends in client demands, regulatory requirements and the role of technology, automated systems and AI are also discussed While air quality has traditionally been one of the most regulatory driven of environmental markets, recent federal inactivity has been countered by state & local programs and industry initiatives to continue to drive air quality investments.
