================================
EETIC (Energy and Environmental Technologies Information Centres) was
established in 1996 to encompass three IEA (International Energy Agency)
Programmes:
CADDET Energy Efficiency—http://www.caddet-ee.orgu//eventos/cyt/ingles/..T.HTM
Here you can find descriptions of over 1,600 projects from around the world
that demonstrate the application of energy-efficiency technologies. In
addition, summaries of all technical publications and the most recent
newsletters are available.
CADDET Renewable Energy—http://www.caddet-re.orgu//eventos/cyt/ingles/..T.HTM
Here you can find the Renewable Energy Register, with descriptions of
around 400 renewable energy projects from around the world, and details of
other publications in this field.
GREENTIE—http://www.greentie.orggu//eventos/cyt/ingles/..T.HTM
Here you can find a searchable Directory of approximately 8,500
organisations offering expertise and/or products to help mitigate
greenhouse gas emissions. Any organisation located in a GREENTIE-sponsored
country offering products or expertise in greenhouse gas reduction
internationally can apply for free entry in the Directory by filling in the
form available on the Internet site.
