Bundesverband Erdgas, Erdöl und Geoenergie eV (BVEG)
BVEG has been the voice of the German exploration and production industry since its foundation in 1945. Since then, BVEG has grown to represent the interests of natural gas and oil producers, associated service providers and storage facility operators, as well as advocating for the economic use of geothermal energy.
Environmental and sustainability issues are addressed through BVEG's Transparency Initiative, where knowledge is shared to further improve good practice and responsibility in the German oil and gas industry. A dedicated platform within the Initiative allows BVEG to inform stakeholders about environmental topics connected to the industry.
