Celsius Energy wins BloombergNEF Pioneers 2024 award 

For more than ten years, the Pioneers Awards have been identifying game-changing technologies and innovations, each with the potential to accelerate global decarbonisation and contribute to the fight against climate change. 

For this 2024 edition, BloombergNEF has focused on three major challenges: removing the barriers to the deployment of clean energy, decarbonising buildings and creating the next generation of carbon-neutral fuels.The award recognises scalable, fair and effective solutions that meet these challenges.  

Claire Curry, selection committee co-chair and global head of Technology, Industry & Innovation research at BloombergNEF, stated: “BNEF set up the Pioneers award 14 years ago to recognize, and by doing so to accelerate, the progress of climate-tech innovators. The work of these decarbonization innovators is more important than ever in this critical decade: the search for new climate solutions has never been as urgent. Our winners this year span, among other things, technology breakthroughs in clean fuels, methods of advancing building decarbonization, and new routes to accelerate the deployment of renewables.” 

The teams at Celsius Energy are proud to be winners in the “Decarbonization of building construction and operation” category.  

The Bloomberg Prize in figures: 

• 1,200 entries assessed  
• 24 finalists  
• 12 winners   

“ To get on track with the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE) Scenario, the global heat pump stock would need to almost triple by 2030, to cover at least 20% of global heating needs. At Celsius Energy, we are developing an industrial, scalable and unique design that democratizes access to geothermal energy. Our innovations enable us to address the market for thermal renovation of buildings in urban environments and to develop long-term performance guarantee models. This award honors the commitment of a team determined to accelerate the decarbonization of buildings.”  Cindy Demichel, CEO and co-founder of Celsius Energy  

Thank you to BloombergNEF for this prestigious award and congratulations to all the winners. A low-carbon world is possible if we join forces!
