The 2024 Eni Awards is now Accepting Applications – Open for any global scientific discovery that make a big impact on the energy industry
A benchmark for applied scientific research into energy
Judges who have won Nobel Prizes. Winners who will go on to win Nobel Prizes. Scientific discoveries that make a big impact on the energy industry and recognition by the President of the Italian Republic. Since it began in 2008, the Eni Award has become much more than a company prize. It is now a globally significant event for applied research and technological innovation in energy.
The 2024 Eni Awards – Official announcements
Again for 2024, there are three main prizes Eni Awards for Energy Frontiers, Advanced Environmental Solutions and Energy Transition, and awards for the Young Researcher of the Year, Research Debut – Young Talents from Africa and the Recognition of Innovation at Eni for our researchers. The deadline for applications is 24 November 2023.
In order to apply, read regulation and official announcements to check the requirements for each section of Eni Award.
Candidatures must be filled in in English and submitted to Eni Award Scientific Secretariat ([email protected]) no later than Friday November 24, 2023. The Scientific Secretariat is available for any further clarifications needed.

Eni Award categories: The 2024 Eni Awards is now Accepting Applications – Open for any global scientific discovery that make a big impact on the energy industry
Energy Frontiers award: technological innovation in the field of renewable energy and related energy management and storage technologies, in the context of decarbonizing energy systems.
Advanced Environmental Solutions award: technological innovation to foster the development of a sustainable and resilient nature within a continuously changing climate scenario, through the enhancement of nature-based solutions, and the preservation and restoration of natural capital, in order to accelerate the transition towards circular economy, bio-economy and environmentally sustainable business models, accordingly with the “One Health – Planetary Health” perspective.
Environmental Scientist Intern – TETRA TECH, United States
Energy Transition award: technological innovation aimed at reducing carbon footprint during the transition towards an environmentally neutral energy production system through improving energy efficiency in transport and industrial processes and promoting the use of sustainable (including from an economic viewpoint) technologies; for capturing, using and storing carbon dioxide (CCUS), together with increased energy efficiency, as a bridge to decarbonization of the energy system.
Young Researcher of the Year award: two awards for graduates with PhD theses from Italian universities on these themes: development of a sustainable and resilient nature within a continuously changing climate scenario, through the enhancement of nature-based solutions, and the preservation and restoration of natural capital, in order to accelerate the transition towards circular economy, bio-economy and environmentally sustainable business models, accordingly with the “One Health – Planetary Health” perspective; renewable energies and energy storage; new technologies for H2 production (blue, green and turquoise hydrogen); capturing, using and storing carbon (CCUS), and energy efficiency as a bridge to decarbonization of the energy system.
Research Debut – Young Talents from Africa award: four awards to go to graduates from African countries for a degree or master’s thesis carried out in an African university on these themes: development of a sustainable and resilient nature within a continuously changing climate scenario, through the enhancement of nature-based solutions, and the preservation and restoration of natural capital, in order to accelerate the transition towards circular economy, bio-economy and environmentally sustainable business models, accordingly with the “One Health – Planetary Health” perspective; renewable energies and energy storage; new technologies for H2 production (blue, green and turquoise hydrogen); capturing, using and storing carbon (CCUS), and energy efficiency as a bridge to decarbonization of the energy system. This category was created in 2017 on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the award.
Eni Innovation awards (for Eni researchers): three awards for ideas with the greatest potential for impact in terms of the innovation they could generate and for the best technological innovations resulting from Eni research.
The Awards’ Scientific Committee that assesses applications and awards the corresponding prizes is made up of scientists belonging to the greatest research institutes in the world. At present among its ranks Prof. Jean-Marie Lehn, who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1987, and previously Robert Richardson, winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1996, and the late Sir Harold Kroto, winner of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1996.
We also continue to promote the development of an ecosystem of sustainable innovation aligned with Eni’s mission through the Eni Joule for Entrepreneurship award, a prize we have established through Joule our school of entrepreneurship, which complements the Eni Award in fostering the implementation, enhancement and transfer of technologies in the field of energy transition. The award aims to promote innovative and sustainable entrepreneurship in the field of decarbonization of processes and products, circular economy, and the fight against climate change, in order to contribute to Italy’s social and economic development.

The winners of the 2023 edition: The 2024 Eni Awards is now Accepting Applications – Open for any global scientific discovery that make a big impact on the energy industry
The winners of the fifteenth edition of the 2023 Eni Award have been chosen and the prize will be presented this autumn in Rome.
The Energy Frontiers Award, one of the three main prizes, which honours the best research and innovation in the field of renewable energy sources and energy storage, has been awarded to Matthew Rosseinsky, from the University of Liverpool (UK). The Advanced Environmental Solutions Award, dedicated to research on air, water and land protection and industrial site remediation, went to Thalappil Pradeep, from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (India).
Finally, the Energy Transition Award, which celebrates the best innovations for decarbonizing the energy system, was awarded ex aequo to Yu Huang, from the University of California (Los Angeles, USA), and Jeffrey R. Long, from the University of California (Berkeley, USA).
For the Young Talents from Africa section, which was established in 2017 on the 10th anniversary of the Eni Award and dedicated to young talents from the African continent, the prize was awarded to Gloria Amo-Duodu, from Durban University of Technology (South Africa), Elshaday Mulu Fetene, from Moi University (Kenya), Tsion Ayalew Kebede from Addis Ababa University (Ethiopia) and Natnael Tilahun Sinshaw from Addis Ababa Science and Technology University (Ethiopia).
For the Young Researcher of the Year Award, the prizes were awarded to Michele Ghini and Hilmar del Carmen Guzmán Medina, who have completed their PhDs respectively at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (in collaboration with University of Genoa) and Polytechnic of Turin.
