At the heart of GREENTECH FESTIVAL, the GREEN AWARDS celebrate the most innovative projects and minds. For the third time in London we will roll out the green carpet to celebrate those who are making a significant difference to our future: our green leaders. Together we will highlight their innovative projects, sustainable companies and long-lasting ideas, in two categories.
OUR CATEGORIES
GREEN AWARDS WINNERS LONDON 2024
CHEESECAKE ENERGY
Category: Start-Up
For commercial and industrial customers looking to decarbonise, CEL’s modular compressed air energy storage turns intermittent renewables into on-demand power.
Built from proven industrial hardware, CEL’s system is robust, durable and sustainable. The extensive use of second-life hardware, such as repurposed truck engines means that embodied energy can be 65% lower than Li-ion, while lasting for more than twice as long. The system uses only readily available materials and can be built in existing supply chains, helping to drive a fair transition for skilled automotive and oil and gas workforces.
ZENOBĒ
Category: Changemaker
Zenobē’s mission is to make clean power accessible. We do that in 3 ways: by maximising the uptake of renewables using battery storage, by accelerating fleet electrification with bespoke services for operators and by using second-life batteries to replace diesel generators and support on-site renewables.
To make a big impact you need to do things at scale. We currently support over 1,200 EVs electric vehicles globally, have 735MW of live or in-build battery storage projects, with an aim to commission 2.5GW of storage in the UK by 2028.
