| A project in India to turn waste food into cooking gas was among the winners of environmental awards announced on Thursday. |
| Also honored were a stove design from China that uses crop waste, affordable solar power projects in Laos and Tanzania, and a Bangladeshi solar energy boat project. |
| Each won a prize of 30,000 pounds ($60,000) in the five international categories of the Ashden Awards for Sustainable Energy. |
| “Our winners show how sustainable energy can improve health, education and livelihoods and at the same time reduce carbon emissions,” said Sarah Butler-Sloss, who headed the judging panel. |
| “If these technologies were expanded and replicated on a large scale, they would play a significant role in helping us to tackle climate change and poverty. What we need now is the political will to scale up and roll out these solutions.” |
