ADIPEC Awards 2023 finalists announced; eight new categories address key energy and climate challenges
Representing a diverse range of industries, the 21 finalists come from the Middle East , Europe , Asia , and the Americas. The UAE is shortlisted in the Game-Changing Partnership Award and Future Energy Workforce Development Programme categories; Israel and China make the finalists' list, with nominations in the Clean Energy Technology Innovation of the Year and Transformative Hydrogen Project categories; and Malaysia has four finalists, the highest among the countries represented.
The ADIPEC Awards 2023 winners will be announced at a gala dinner on 2 October as part of ADIPEC, the world's largest energy exhibition and conference, which will run from 2-5 October in Abu Dhabi . Taking place less than two months before the UAE hosts COP28 under the theme 'Decarbonising. Faster. Together.', ADIPEC 2023 will drive the energy industry's future direction as it accelerates decarbonisation and creates the energy system of the future.
Fatema Al Nuaimi , Chairperson of the ADIPEC Awards 2023 and Executive Vice President, Downstream Business Management at ADNOC said: "I am delighted to see the intense competition for our all-new categories from global leaders, pioneers and disruptors who are capturing emerging opportunities, driving transformative change and rethinking what it means to be an oil, gas and energy business today.
"The shortlisted entries demonstrate the industry's readiness, leadership and commitment to helping reshape the industry and support global climate and energy challenges for a sustainable tomorrow."
The ADIPEC Awards 2023 has attracted a record 1,072 entry submissions from 78 countries. Seven of the awards categories were open to the energy industry to submit nominations. The last category – Leader of Change: Passionate Driver of Progress – will be selected by the 10-member ADIPEC Awards jury. Two new members were added to the jury this year – Vicki Knott , CEO and Co-Founder of CruxOCM and Samantha Gross , Director of the Energy Security and Climate Initiative and a Fellow in Foreign Policy at the Brookings Institution – who have expertise in technology and climate change, respectively.
Christopher Hudson , President of dmg events, organisers of ADIPEC 2023, said: "The ADIPEC Awards' enhanced jury and all new award categories will help us spotlight the companies and individuals who are leading critical growth and evolution during the energy transition. The Awards support ADIPEC's ambition to accelerate the practical action and credible solutions needed to tackle the most significant challenges in energy and climate."
This year's ADIPEC Awards finalists include solutions that exemplify visionary progress in decarbonisation and game-changing thinking, including responsible energy management that converts pollutants into sustainable fuels and chemicals to lithium-ion battery recycling methods. One standout initiative focuses on global-scale decarbonisation through a transparent certification platform for low-carbon products to drive competitive decarbonisation worldwide, encompassing various energy carriers. Another submission seeks to establish the world's largest green hydrogen plant, integrating renewable energy sources on an unprecedented scale and promising substantial carbon-free hydrogen production.
The 2023 ADIPEC Awards jury comprises:
