The 2012 Prize features three categories: Small-to-Medium size Enterprises (SME) and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO), Large Corporations and Individuals that put forward innovative projects with the potential to create a positive impact on the greatest global energy challenges, from climate change and environmental pollution to declining energy resources.
