Co-organised by The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas) and State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC), the TERA-Award smart energy innovation competition officially announced its 10 finalists on 15 November, with entries such as Liquid Sunshine Methanol, High Temperature Fuel Cell Stack Industrialization Project, Smart Micro-grid Dual Carbon Energy Management System and Perovskite/Crystalline Silicon tandem PV emerging.

Since the competition's launch in mid-June, 208 projects from 23 countries and regions have taken part. Twenty projects were subsequently shortlisted, entailing intense competition. The judging panel comprises eight experts from Towngas, SPIC, Tsinghua University, The University of Hong Kong and leading international energy research organisations. The 10 finalists were chosen after professional and stringent assessment of the submissions on the aspects of implementation, innovation, commercialisation and talent capability.

Shortlisted projects include (in no particular order): Copper-HeteroJunction with Intrinsic Thinlayer (C-HJT) Battery, Fuel Cell Power Station (hydrogen storage power station), Perovskite/Crystalline Silicon tandem PV, High Temperature Fuel Cell Stack Industrialization Project, Liquid Sunshine Methanol, Highly efficient and low-cost H2 production using AEM Water Electrolyzers, Advanced Vanadium Redox Flow Battery, Smart Micro-grid Dual Carbon Energy Management System, Iron-chromium Flow Battery Energy Storage, and Safe and Low-cost Flow Battery. The above projects ranging from battery to hydrogen energy to the energy internet serve to represent visionary innovations in the realm of smart energy technology. The top three projects and winner of the US$1 million prize will soon be selected.
