OTS - Energy Efficiency Award 2020: dena launches latest round of competition
2020. May 04. 12:54
Berlin, 4 May, 2020 (APA/OTS) - Entries in four categories can be
submitted from now on/search is on for successful projects and
pioneering concepts/prize money totalling €30,000 available - The
Deutsche Energie-Agentur (dena) - the German Energy Agency - is
looking for successful formulas to reduce companies' energy
consumption and emissions that have an impact on the climate. They
will present the best ideas with the Energy Efficiency Award 2020.
Private and public organisations are therefore invited to submit
their projects and concepts in digital form at
www.EnergyEfficiencyAward.de by 15 June 2020.
The Energy Efficiency Award is mainly focused on making more
efficient use of energy resources in industry and reducing
emissions, and thereby acts as a stimulus for the energy transition.
Endowed with a total of €30,000 in prize money, the Energy
Efficiency Award is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic
Affairs and Energy (BMWi). Its patron is the Federal Minister for
Economic Affairs, Peter Altmaier.
The competition's four categories
Companies of any size and from any industry in Germany or
abroad can submit one or more competition entries in the following
four categories:
Think Big!
Complex energy efficiency projects
For a long time, companies have been implementing multi-layered
energy efficiency projects where a large number of measures have to
be coordinated with one another. Here systematic thinking and
integrated solutions are being sought.
From clever to digital
The broad spectrum of energy efficiency
In this category, low-investment measures are being sought just
as much as mature technologies, or digitally supported optimisation
using software solutions or artificial intelligence, e.g. as part
of an energy management system.
Achieving more together
Energy Services as enabler of the energy transition
The involvement of service providers is particularly useful
where ambitious ideas hit up against limited finances, resources or
lack of expertise. Such involvement can range from conception,
planning and implementation of a system to finance, system control
and maintenance.
Concepts for carbon neutral companies:
Innovative ideas and new approaches for a green economy
The energy transition needs innovative ideas. Companies that
pursue new approaches to reduce their energy consumption and
greenhouse gas emissions, or conceive the energy transition in
cross-sectoral and cross-system terms (or in integrated, holistic
terms), can submit their concepts for the Energy Efficiency
Audience Award. The concept should demonstrate conclusively which
concrete measures should be used to increase energy efficiency
and/or reduce emissions in industry, as well as impress the jury by
their innovation and market maturity.
All the energy efficiency projects and concepts entered for the
competition will be assessed by a jury of experts according to the
criteria of energy saving, relevance to climate protection,
cost-effectiveness, level of innovation and transferability. A
shortlist of the nominated projects will be published at the
beginning of October 2020. Dena will present the awards to the
prize winners in November 2020.
All information on free entry, the online application form,
answers to frequently asked questions and information on previous
years' prize winners can be found at www.EnergyEfficiencyAward.de
