Dyesol is one of only five companies in the world and the only Australian company to make the Bloomberg New Energy Finance New Energy Pioneers.

New for the 2010 Bloomberg New Energy Finance Summit, the Pioneers Programme recognises five companies that Bloomberg New Energy Finance analysts consider to be highly promising and progressive in the field of new energy technology and innovation.

The companies other companies — AlertMe, Magnomatics, Novacem and Topell Energy — represent a range of sectors, from energy storage conversion to energy efficiency and transportation.

"Bloomberg New Energy Finance chose these companies because we feel they are potential ‘game changers’ in new energy technology and innovation," says Michael Liebreich, chief executive of Bloomberg New Energy Finance.

"The work they are doing is progressive and significant to the future of the energy sector, and they could play a significant role in the world’s transition to a lower carbon, more secure, smart, decentralised energy system."

Dyesol also announced last week that the company has partnered with one of the world’s largest glass makers - Pilkington North America - to develop and commercialise glass with power generating capabilities.

Initially the collaboration will address the non-view glass market (spandrel), which accounts for 40 per cent of the total glass market. The global market for flat glass is estimated to be 6 billion square metres in 2010 and growing at 5 per cent a year.
