As part of Russian Energy Week, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak presented awards to the laureates of one of the most prestigious annual international prizes, the Global Energy Prize, which is awarded for outstanding scientific achievements in the field of energy.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted the expansion of the award's geography and participants and emphasized the importance of a balanced approach to shaping the energy sector of the future.
"Over the years, the prize has become an example of successful international collaboration between government representatives, industry, and science—since 2003, 56 scientists from 16 countries have been awarded the prize. This year, the prize's independent international committee selected three laureates, representing leading scientific superpowers—Russia, China, and the United States. Their discoveries reflect the needs of the modern energy sector for an innovative and responsible approach to shaping the energy of the future. Today, it is crucial to develop new areas while maintaining a reasonable balance with traditional energy sources and to find solutions to improve the efficiency and environmental friendliness of the fuel and energy sector," the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.
In the "New Energy Applications" category, Vladislav Khomich, scientific director of the Institute of Electrophysics and Electric Power Engineering of the Russian Academy of Sciences, received the award for fundamental research in the field of plasma technologies and power optics.
Jinliang He, a professor at Tsinghua University in China, won the award in the Traditional Energy category for his achievements in the development of ultra-high-voltage power transmission technologies.
UCLA professor Yu Huang, the first female laureate in the award's history, won in the Alternative Energy category for her development of structured nanomaterials that improve the efficiency and reliability of fuel cells.
