Recognition
European Solar prize 2006
 
EUROSOLAR awarded the European Solar prize 2006 in the category: Special prize for extraordinary individual commitment to Giuliano Grassi, EUBIA Secretary General, for his engagement for the use of Biomass.
EUROSOLAR provided the following appreciation tribute:
"Dr. Giuliano Grassi is the representative director and board member of EUBIA. In the last decades he has strongly fought for the development of biomass utilization like barely nobody else. He paid attention to all thinkable usage possibilities, like bioenergy systems either for sea water desalination or reforestation of semi-arid or contaminated soil. He worked actively in the large biofuel refineries as well as compact biofuel or hybrid powered town-vehicles. Furthermore he took part in the EU-Commission Program about Research and Development of Bioenergy. Over and over again he used his comprehensive experience for the political and economical development of biomass utilization, and released various publications on the issue. Without his work the biomass sector would not enjoy its current prospering situation."
The prize was presented to Mr Grassi by Hermann Scheer, President of EUROSOLAR on the 7th of December 2006 in Berlin. Please follow this link for the tribute video.
