rdf:langString The United States Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Partnership is a voluntary program that supports the organizational procurement of green power by offering expert advice, technical support, tools and resources. It provides public health and environmental benefits by expanding U.S. renewable energy markets through the voluntary use of green power. The EPA defines 'green power' as a subset of renewable energy and "represents those renewable energy resources and technologies that provide the highest environmental benefit", with electricity produced from solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, biomass, and low-impact small hydroelectric sources listed as types of green power. The program's key elements include: * Educating stakeholders on purchasing in U.S. renewable energy markets * Providing technical assistance and tools for procuring green power * Motivating stakeholders to use green power * Recognizing leadership in green power purchasing
