The Landfill Gas Association is one of the UK's seven renewable energy trade associations. It represents the interests of those involved in the utilisation of landfill gas. Landfill gas contains methane, produced by the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter in landfill sites. Its major use is for electricity generation, although other direct uses include CHP applications, kiln firing and vehicle fuel. Its members comprise specialist development companies, waste management companies, consultants and a range of associated equipment and service providers. Amongst the range of services provided to members, the association runs a detailed and comprehensive training course on landfill gas management and utilisation. The course is run in conjunction with the Institution of Diesel and Gas Turbine Engineers. - Business type: trade association

The mission of PV-UK is to advance the development and use of photovoltaic (PV) technology. Since 1992, it has actively promoted the use of PV within the UK as well as for export. PV-UK has Working Groups on Market Strategy, Grid Connected Issues, and training. The Association has 53 members, who represent the wide cross-section of expertise in the UK. Members are drawn from industry, universities and consultancy practices, and many are world leaders in their field(s). Expertise includes product manufacture, systems design and installation, R&D, consultancy and project management.
The British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) is at the heart of wind energy activity in the UK. It's members range from the largest international corporations to ordinary members of the public, united in a commitment to seeing the UK's vast wind resource better harnessed in the production of electricity. Founded in 1979, the Association has grown from a group of academics to over 200 companies and hundreds of individuals in membership. BWEA has a professional staff of seven, who, together with consultants and advisors, co-ordinate information and intelligence on every aspect of wind energy in the UK. These specialists work closely with experts in member companies to provide the highest levels of information to Government, regional bodies and local authorities throughout the UK.
The British Hydropower Association (BHA) is a trade association which represents the interests of all those involved in the hydropower industry. Formerly the National Association of Water Power Users, it has for over twenty years been promoting the use of small hydropower and lobbying to protect its members' interests. Members include manufacturers of all kinds of equipment used in the industry, civil, mechanical and electrical consulting engineers, utility companies, academic institutions, developers - large and small, individuals, charities and students - anyone who is interested in and keen to promote the use of hydropower. Members are listed in the British Hydropower Association Handbook and Trade Directory
The Combined Heat and Power Association works to promote the wider use of combined heat and power and community heating. Combined Heat and Power (CHP) technology is now in use in a large and growing number of locations in the UK and it is likely that there will be at least double of today's 3.8GWe of capacity by the year 2010. This will bring with it many environmental gains including significant reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases.
