Two Indian companies specializing in alternative energy sources for rural electrification have won this year's prestigious Ashden Awards for Sustainable Energy in London.
The Husk Power Systems (HPS) of Bihar and the Abellon CleanEnergy Ltd of Gujarat received the awards Thursday night. The award contains prize money of 20,000 pounds.
HPS generates electricity through the gasification of rice husk. The company has been trying to boost its entrepreneurial capacity in collaboration with Britain-based Shell Foundation for about two years.
HPS has about 60 gasification plants that provide affordable electricity to over 25,000 Bihar households. Each connection costs Rs.100.
Abellon produces biomass pellets from crop waste to power Gujarat's industries and gives farmers a market for their waste products.
The Ashden Awards for Sustainable Energy, a charity founded in 2001, encourage greater use of local sustainable energy to address climate change, alleviate poverty and improve quality of life
