Georg Salvamoser Prize to be awarded for innovative renewable energy solutions
The Georg Salvamoser award recognises pioneering and innovative projects that have contributed to a transition to 100 percent renewable energy, and as such is one of the most valuable environmental awards in Germany. 2014 will be the third year that the prize has been awarded.
Each application will be assessed by a jury consisting of experts from political, economic and environmental spheres. The prize ceremony will take place in March 2014, with an award of €50,000. The criteria for applications include aspects such as innovation and originality in the development of the projects, but also a critical engagement with the problems and obstacles in their implementation and how they were dealt with.
Named for the late pioneer of solar technology and citizen of Freiburg (Germany) Georg Salvamoser, the prize is open to individuals, groups and associations, companies, institutions and municipalities in German-speaking countries or areas.
