Renewable Energy in the NIS and USA

Echo-Vostok and CREST logos.


Welcome to our site! These pages are the result of a joint effort between two NGOs, The Center for Renewable Energy and Sustainble Technology (CREST) and Echo-Vostok, a news agency in Kiev, Ukraine. Though we have different approaches, CREST and Echo-Vostok share a common goal: the promotion and advancement of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.

Together we publish Future Age Energy Journal, a quarterly publication featuring renewable energy news from the NIS and USA.

  

Cover of first issue of "Future Age Energy."

CREST uses advanced computer and communications technologies (CD-ROM and Internet) to promote sustainable energy development. Our homepage, Solstice, serves as a popular online clearinghouse on sustainable energy information. All our information is free and is currently accessed by over 100 countries worldwide.

Echo-Vostok is a very successful news agency with a long history of publishing in alternative energy. In the wake of the devistating Chernobyl accident, Echo-Vostok has been working tirelessly to convince government officials, the media, and the public that nuclear energy is not the future, and that sustainable, renewable energy sources are the path of the future.

Together CREST and Echo-Vostok will be bringing news and information on sustainable energy from both countries to audiences in the Ukraine, NIS, and the global Internet community. The project has three related parts:

1. Publish the Future Age Energy Journal in Russian and in print in the Ukraine;

2. Establish an electronic and English version to be circulated by Internet, and

3. Help establish the Renewable Energy Library at the Technical University of Ukraine.

This project is made possible with funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development and ISAR, a U.S. NGO specializing in grassroots cooperation in Eurasia.
