Renewable Energy
The choice to support the production of energy from renewable sources (hydro-electrical, wind, photovoltaic, thermal solar energy, geothermal, biogas, tidal and wave movement, fermentation of biological products) leads to a significant reduction of pollution caused by energy production and it helps to preserve natural resources.

For this reason, Piber Group has chosen to adopt the European RECS (Renewable Energy Certificate System) which makes it possible to finance the development of electrical energy production utilising alternative systems that do not use nuclear or fossil fuels.

This means that any plant that produces electrical power derived from renewable sources will receive the RECS certificates in a quantity equal to its production. These certificates, once they are emitted onto the market and sold, become an additional profit for those who contribute to the financing and development of this environmentally friendly activity.

RECS promotes the development of an international market of renewable sources which in turn promotes the diffusion of innovative production systems fuelled by energy from renewable sources. In this way the certificates represent the total benefits available from the production of energy from renewable sources, benefits that cover the whole environmental question, the diversification of energy sources, the reduction of energy dependence of European countries as well as the diffusion of those energy production systems that are considered most valid.

The RECS is a European project created to promote the development, based on a standard certification, of a voluntary, international market of Green Certificate. Currently the RECS system involves more than 170 societies of producers, traders and certification organisations distributed throughout 17 countries.
