BOSTON — TechInsights, the publisher of EE Times, has unveiled a Web-based global community resource for technical and business professionals pursuing "clean energy" technology. The CleanTerra concept was announced here this week during the Embedded Systems Conference.

CleanTerra will officially launch first quarter of 2009, and is aimed at encouraging communication and collaboration among users, vendors and investors in renewable and "clean energy" technologies.

The online platform will serve as an aggregated repository for information from across the Web, building on a base of news and analysis produced by the TechInsights editorial team along with information provided by sponsors.

Web site users will be able to contribute their own content, thereby encouraging dialogue and collaboration on critical clean technology issues.

"From power management design to massive investments in wind and solar power to the design of new 'sustainable' cities, clean technology will shape our future," TechInsights CEO Paul Miller said in a statement. "We believe CleanTerra will be a catalyst and an enabler of this revolution."

CleanTerra content also will include contributions from partners in China, India, Japan and Europe, as well as virtual and live events co-located with TechInsights conferences.

Users can test drive the ecosystem and answer a quick poll on the most pressing challenges in clean technology at the CleanTerra Web site.

Along with EE Times, TechInsights includes Semiconductor Insights, TechOnline.com and Embedded.com, the Embedded Systems Conference and other industry events.
