During the Russian Energy Week, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak presented awards to the laureates of the Global Energy Prize, one of the most prestigious annual international accolades recognising outstanding scientific achievements in the field of energy.
The Deputy Prime Minister highlighted the expanding geographical reach and diversity of the prize’s participants and underscored the importance of a balanced approach to shaping the energy systems of the future.
“Over the years, the prize has become an exemplar of effective international cooperation among government representatives, industry leaders, and the scientific community. Since 2003, 56 scientists from 16 countries have been honoured as laureates. This year, the prize’s independent international committee selected three winners representing leading scientific superpowers – Russia, China, and the United States. Their discoveries align with the modern energy sector’s demand for innovative and responsible solutions to shape tomorrow’s energy landscape. Today, advancing new energy avenues, while maintaining a prudent balance with traditional sources, is of paramount importance. Concurrently, we must develop solutions that enhance the efficiency and environmental sustainability of the fuel and energy complex,” emphasised the Deputy Prime Minister.
In the New Ways of Energy Application category, the award was conferred upon Vladislav Khomich, Scientific Director of the Institute of Electrophysics and Electric Power Engineering at the Russian Academy of Sciences, for his fundamental research in plasma technologies and power optics.
Professor Jinliang He of Tsinghua University in China was honoured in the Traditional Energy category for his contributions to advancing ultra-high-voltage electricity transmission technologies.
Professor Yu Huang of the University of California, Los Angeles – the first female laureate in the history of the prize – won in the Non-Traditional Energy category for her development of structured nanomaterials that improve the efficiency and reliability of fuel cells.
