Center for Resource Solutions (CRS) was established as a nonprofit in 1997 in San Francisco to promote global renewable energy development with the understanding that clean energy is the solution to many of our most pressing problems. Electricity generation from fossil fuels is the number-one source of greenhouse gases, more than all of our driving and flying combined. Renewable energy reduces harmful smog, toxic buildup in our air and water, and the impacts caused by coal mining and gas extraction, while providing a clean, unlimited source of electricity that we don’t have to mine, buy, or import.
We promote clean energy development by creating policy and market solutions to advance sustainable energy, through our four market-leading Green-e® programs, and also by advocating for policies and market mechanisms that encourage clean energy development, providing technical assistance to U.S. states and countries like China, India, Mexico, the Philippines, and Singapore that are looking to build clean energy infrastructures. We also engage in education and outreach through regular webinars and our annual Renewable Energy Markets™ conferences in the U.S. and Singapore that bring the industry together.
