reegle (with a lower-case r) is a search engine specifically covering renewable energy, energy efficiency and climate change issues. It was conceived as a public resource for governments, project developers, banks and finance institutions, NGOs, and international organisations as well as the general public.
In addition to its search function, the site has a news feed provided courtesy of EnviroFinland, a blog, a green glossary of terms and event listings.
It has three main search components.
The central function of the site is a web search, which offers a "mind map" based search refinement function.
The user can click on a map of the world and get information on renewable energy and energy efficiency in that specific country, including relevant government ministries, private companies, country energy statistics, and a sampling of clean energy development projects in that specific area.
reegle has a large directory of organisations involved in renewable energy and energy efficiency. It contains information and links to over 1300[4] governmental ministries, companies and other green organisations, cross-referenced by geographical area and subject matter.
