Introduction (I)Introduction (I)About EREFAbout EREF
A federation made up of national associations of renewable A federation made up of national associations of renewable energy producers, belonging to 10 different countries of the energy producers, belonging to 10 different countries of the European Union, that have decided to unite their powers by European Union, that have decided to unite their powers by creating a European network that defends and promotes ‚green‘ creating a European network that defends and promotes ‚green‘ energy energy
EREF unites the powers of thousands of European companies, EREF unites the powers of thousands of European companies, who work in the field of energy production through the use of who work in the field of energy production through the use of renewable energy sources such as small hydro, wind, tidal, renewable energy sources such as small hydro, wind, tidal, wave, solar, geothermal and bioenergy wave, solar, geothermal and bioenergy
Associations coming from the sector of non-biological waste Associations coming from the sector of non-biological waste generation are not included in EREF, and will not be invited to generation are not included in EREF, and will not be invited to joinjoin.
