The World Bioenergy Award
In collaboration between World Bioenergy 2012 and the World Bioenergy Association
The World Bioenergy Award is an award for an individual who has made a difference: a business leader, politician or researcher who in a crucial way has furthered the development of the bioenergy sector. The award is a sign that the achievements of this person are of outstanding importance to the field of bioenergy utilisation.
The award, comprising a statuette and diploma, will be presented on 29 May at the opening session of the World Bioenergy conference and exhibition at Elmia in Jönköping, Sweden. After being honoured, the winner will be expected to give a short speech about her/his achievements in the bioenergy field to the attending media.
