Colorado Renewable Energy Forum (CREF)
The Colorado Renewable Energy Forum was established to bring a variety of people interested in promoting renewable energy together to help build a shared agenda.
Representatives of government agencies, lenders, industry representatives, technical experts, advocacy groups and policy analysts meet to advance the cause of renewable energy development and exchange information.
At recent meetings, we’ve explored small hydro-electric projects, wind energy development, algae for biodiesel, carbon credit programs, renewable energy policies enacted by various states and many other topics.
