European Programme to promote renewable energy
The European Commission has accepted EVE, the Basque Energy Entity, and Eolicas de Euskadi within the programme to promote renewable energy. The European Union is aware of the effort EVE is doing to obtain 12 % of primary energy from renewable energy. This entity has been accepted in the programme Campaign for Take-Off, together with Eolicas de Euskadi. The programme has been designed by the... View More (2002-10-03)
University of Ulster to establish 'Green' Power Research Centre
The University of Ulster is set to become the "green" powerhouse of Ireland. It is to establish a state-of-the-art research centre on its Jordanstown campus to investigate new and renewable sources of energy. Work on the multi-million pound development is expected to begin later this year and is scheduled to be completed by the autumn of 2002. It will bring together scientists from the...
