PETRONAS  introduced the Energy Asia Awards as part of Energy Asia 2025, an initiative to recognise outstanding achievements and leadership in advancing a just energy transition.

In line with the Conference theme, ‘Delivering Asia’s Energy Transition’, the awards seek to showcase innovators and companies delivering impactful solutions to address the region’s growing energy demand, reduce CO₂ emissions as well as promote systemic changes towards sustainability while prioritising people and communities at the core of the energy transition.

These awards have been designed to complement Energy Asia’ comprehensive agenda of constructive dialogues between global leaders and business executives on how Asia can achieve a sustainable future that tackles emissions while preserving its ability to pursue economic growth and social progress.

PETRONAS Senior General Manager, Energy Asia & Strategy, Planning and Governance, Group Strategic Relations and Communications, Datin Arni Laily Anwarrudin, commented: “The world of energy is interconnected and no single industry can address the energy transition alone. It is a monumental task that demands collective effort and collaboration from all stakeholders.

She added, “As such we are pleased to introduce the Energy Asia Awards, designed to recognise and celebrate individuals, organisations and initiatives leading the charge in shaping a cleaner, sustainable future – serving as an inspiration for others to follow.”

The awards will honour excellence across two themes:

Eureka Award spotlights entrepreneurs and companies tackling environmental challenges by accelerating decarbonisation efforts and enhancing resource efficiency in the energy landscape through ground-breaking technologies and innovations.

Trailblazer Award honours changemakers and organisations committed to creating inclusive growth that supports socioeconomic development in the areas of education, environment and energy security.

Submissions for the Eureka and Trailblazer Awards will be open from 6 January 2025 until 31 March 2025.

Winners will be announced during the Conference Reception and also given the opportunity to participate in the Conference programmes.
