EURELECTRIC Award 2009
Any solution that can reduce emissions from coal use — without
eliminating coal as an energy source — merits serious consideration.
EURELECTRIC has therefore chosen carbon capture and storage (CCS) as the
theme for this year’s “EURELECTRIC Award”.
Inaugurated at the 2008 Annual Convention in Barcelona, this prestigious
award is aimed at honouring a company or person who has made a pioneering
contribution towards revolutionizing the operations, processes, technologies
or products of the electricity industry.
CCS offers a massive opportunity to revolutionise the power industry by
drastically reducing emissions from power stations by 80% to 90%. A
significant amount of work and pilot projects are currently underway to
develop and improve the technology, legal framework, and policies required
for wide-scale deployment of CCS systems.
The 2009 EURELECTRIC award will be presented by former EURELECTRIC Secretary
General Paul Bulteel, in his capacity as “European Electricity Ambassador”
for EURELECTRIC.

EURELECTRIC extends its sincere thanks to IRE, the Romanian Electricity Association, for hosting
the Annual Convention and Conference.
And to Accenture for sponsoring the event.
