THE WSSET INNOVATION AWARDS

INNOVATION AWARDS

The WSSET Innovation Awards recognise the achievements of private individuals and organisations in new sustainable technologies and encourage the wider application of these new developments. 

 

Innovative ideas are welcome in any of the following areas:

 

  • Renewable energy systems (e.g., solar, wind, biomass, geothermal)
  • Power generation technologies (e.g., CHP systems, fuel cells, anaerobic digestion plants)
  • Energy efficiency (e.g., heat pumps, hybrid solar/gas systems)
  • Low carbon buildings and future cities (e.g., low/zero carbon buildings, sustainable cities, sustainable materials)
  • Waste management and water treatment (e.g., household and construction waste management, desalination)
  • Agri-food technologies (e.g., innovative greenhouses, food drying, bioremediation)
