reegle now powered by google!
Vienna, 11.05.2010 - REEEP International Secretariat
The green energy search portal www.reegle.info has announced that its web search function – the heart of the website – is now powered by google, ensuring fast, accurate and comprehensive search results from the market leader.
This includes a new filter mechanism to target searches to one of four specific areas: renewable energy, energy efficiency, climate protection, and laws and regulation. Media can also be specified, ranging from documents and pictures to blogs, videos and books.
reegle also has a searchable map, with which users can click on a specific country and get the latest events, news, and a sampling of green energy development projects in that area. There is also a catalogue of stakeholders and an energy-oriented profile of the relevant country, and information on local green energy policies and regulations.
“The fact that we are now powered by google puts the reegle search function at the top of its field”, says Florian Bauer, the site’s Product Manager. "We’re also looking at other refinements to reegle, including the expansion of our animation feature, which makes statistics for European countries visible in a time-lapse visualisation format.”
The reegle website also has a news feed integrating stories from ten of the leading environmental, energy efficiency and renewable energy news sites, which makes reegle the logical first stop for anyone needing a quick overview of the latest green energy developments.
Taken together, the news feed, the animation, the map search function, a web search function and a compiled catalogue of key actors make the website the most comprehensive public information resource for renewable and energy efficiency available online. There is also a clean energy blog that offers thoughtful opinions on the latest developments in renewable energy and energy efficiency.
reegle is a public online resource provided by REEEP (Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership) and REN21 (Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century), funded by the British Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU), the Dutch Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment (MINVROM) and the Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management (BMLFUW).
