Nominations in the categories ‘Conventional Energy’, ‘Unconventional Energy’ and ‘New Ways of Energy Application’ will next be examined by independent experts, who will assess them with a fixed set of criteria, including scientific novelty and practical relevance.
The fifteen best entries (three in each category) will be shortlisted, from which the International Award Committee will select three winners. The shortlist will be announced in May 2022 and the International Award Committee’s decision in July. The award ceremony will take place in October 2022.
The Global Energy Prize was established in 2002 to encourage research and development in the energy sector and to promote efficient and safe use of energy sources.
