Three sustainability organizations have won the 2022 Global Energy Heroes prizes from Stanford University’s Precourt Institute for Energy, announced on May 4 during Stanford’s Energy Solutions Week. The competitive prizes drew 44 submissions across five continents.

组织领导的人年龄在18岁到30年old were eligible to enter, which required submission of a short video about their work. The winning organizations work in Kenya, Brasil and the United States. Mukuru Clean Stoves is figuring out how to get Nairobi’s low-income mothers to switch to improved cookstoves, a huge health problem that has bedeviled decades of international aid efforts. Revolusolar is making residential solar accessible to low-income households in sun-drenched Rio de Janeiro. And ElectricFish is enabling affordable, all-renewable electricity charging to electric vehicles while also making regional power grids less vulnerable to blackouts. Each organization gets $20,000 to advance their enterprise.

“The submissions we received were broad both geographically and topically,” said Yi Cui, director of the Precourt Institute and Stanford professor of materials science and engineering. “The three winners and the other finalists represent the breadth and depth of young people around the world committed to making their communities more sustainable and defending our world from climate change.”

“I hope their stories and the real benefits of their work inspire us all,” said Cui.

The winners were selected by a panel of four energy experts, listed below.

Cook stoves for Kenya

世界各地约有26亿人在室内烹饪，开放式炉子，由传统的生物质燃料（木材，动物粪便，农作物垃圾或木炭）推动，没有太多通风。每年近400万人因导致的呼吸道疾病和意外火灾过早死亡。最大的挑战是说服人们转换为由电力或清洁燃料（如丙烷）或与烟囱连接的更安全的烹饪炉，这些烹饪炉会从家里冒烟。十博网站怎么进入研究表明，改进的烹饪炉需要是理想的，负担得起的，并且需要最小的生活方式改变才能采用。

穆库鲁（Mukuru）是肯尼亚首都内罗毕最大的贫民窟之一，也是夏洛特·玛加伊（Charlot Magayi）居住和销售木炭以年轻母亲谋生的地方。在成人学校，Magayi了解了她出售燃料的传统烹饪炉的危害。她继续发现Mukuru干净的炉子。

社会企业为肯尼亚低收入家庭的再生废物金属生产高效，可靠和负担得起的厨师炉，那里有84％的人口有害厨师。Magayi说，与露天大火相比，Mukuru炉子将烹饪的众多烟减少了90％，它们使用较少的燃料并更快地烹饪。她补充说，Mukuru炉子的价格是进口商业厨师的四分之一。

Mukuru distributes its stoves through women in communities throughout Nairobi. The stoves are partially subsidized by philanthropic organizations and carbon credits, but they still come at a cost to clients. The organization works with its distributors on finance. Mukuru says it has sold more than 100,000 of its cleaner stoves.

“We are putting the (Global Energy Heroes) prize money towards the construction of our new production facility,” said Magayi.

她希望该奖项还将使Mukuru Clean Stoves能够吸引更多的投资者和合作伙伴。马加伊说：“在我们旅程的这一点上，没有什么比这更有效了。”

可持续太阳能

Sustainable, affordable and secure energy for all is the vision for the energy transition. Brazil has increasingly expensive electricity rates and relatively inexpensive solar energy technology, so this is already a vision at hand, especially in Rio de Janiero. Residential solar is a sustainable, decentralized electricity source and a generator of local jobs.

但是，在巴西获得住宅太阳能需要初始资本或获得信贷，就像在富裕国家一样。结果，低收入巴西社区通常只能访问昂贵且低质量的公用事业服务。

Revolusolar通过租赁模型和专业培训为低收入社区提供太阳能技术，为低碳经济带来优质的本地就业机会。Revolusolar的研究十博网站怎么进入，事10bet十博件和倡导能够产生有关住宅太阳能的知识，而非营利组织代表了贫民窟对能源部门的利益。

“So far, Revolusolar has been operating a pilot project in Rio de Janeiro. Our next step, starting in 2022, is to expand the solar revolution to new territories, nationally,” said chief executive Eduardo Avila. “The prize money will be entirely used to finance this national expansion, which includes a project in the Amazon region。”

The prize motivates Revolusolar to keep working on the solar revolution, aiming at a more inclusive and sustainable society, said Avila.

他补充说：“我们依靠捐赠和赠款，这种可见性将有助于查找和保留合作伙伴机构。”

Clean charge for EVs

开发经济储存过多的太阳能和风力供以后使用的能力是使电力系统更具可持续性的最紧迫的优先事项之一。创业电鱼制作模块化的电池组，可以在短短10分钟内为电动汽车充电100英里。这些大型电池组在加油站和便利店等站点部署，仅收取可再生能源。

In addition, a significant ElectricFish presence in a given area could improve the reliability of the local electric grid, the founders say. As reliance on intermittent solar and wind power grows, energy storage – both large, centralized capacity and local resources – is becoming increasingly critical to keeping power demand and supply in balance to avoid blackouts.

该公司由斯坦福大学能源资源工程系的博士生Folasade Ayoola和密歇根州技术大学MS '18的Anurag Kam10bet bwinal的博士生创立。卡马尔（Kamal）获得了斯坦福大学商学院IGNITE计划的创新和创业证书。10bet bwin这两个创始人被认可福布斯in its 2022 “30 Under 30 in Energy” list.

该公司的首席设计师Ashleen Blaettler表示：“ ElectricFish计划将这笔奖金投入到扩大我们的社区弹性得分算法的扩展，以帮助我们选择最有影响力的位置来建造分布式存储。”

Blaettler说，该初创公司的算法预测，根据本地网格架构，EV渗透，社区人口统计以及停电的可能性，最有希望的地方可以提供包装。

Ayoola说：“对于我们的ElectricFish，我们的工作以及我们的愿景的影响是非常肯定的。”

The judges of the competition were the Precourt Institute’s Cui;威尔·塔佩（Tarpeh）斯坦10bet bwin福大学化学工程助理教授；简·伍德沃德，Map Energy和Stanford讲师的创始人兼执行合伙人；10bet bwin和皮特·希金斯（Pete Higgins），第二大道合作伙伴的合伙人。
