E3 Energy Awards
American Coal Council E3 Energy Awards Program
Empower – Educate – Encourage
The American Coal Council (ACC) is pleased to announce its updated and expanded awards program - The E3 Energy Awards – recognizing excellence in efforts to empower, educate and encourage coal industry achievements.
The ACC E3 Energy Awards program has been revised to focus more on the energy that drives our nation and the people that make our industry a success. The program has a new name, a new look, and new, redesigned categories that acknowledge and celebrate the hard work and diligence of this industry.
The awards program was originally established in 2005 as a means of recognizing North American companies, foundations, associations and individuals across the coal industry that have played a significant role in empowering their local communities, advanced energy-based education and public information programs, and encouraged others in the industry to do and accomplish more.
Worldwide demand for energy continues to grow at the same time as governments and the public are calling for compliance with strict new environmental guidelines. It is, therefore, imperative that the coal industry works to educate the public on coal’s foundational role in meeting our energy needs.
Coal is an economic, abundant/secure and environmentally sound fuel source. The ACC E3 Energy Awards program recognizes and rewards the coal suppliers, coal consuming utilities, industrial coal users, transportation companies, foundations, and industry associations that are making a concerted effort to convey this message to policy makers, the public, the media, students, and employees. It also acknowledges the efforts of those demonstrating the broader value of the coal industry by playing an active role in their communities.
On March 10th, 2009, at the Spring Coal Forum in Miami, we will celebrate the best of our industry's efforts. But we can’t celebrate the work and people that we don’t know about. WE NEED YOUR HELP!!
Please take a moment to review the call for applications and award criteria. If you see an award that could apply to your work, submit an application form – submit more than one if you’ve been busy! If you know of a friend or colleague that might be interested, please forward this note to them and encourage them to take part.
Please also note that we will need all applications returned by January 12th, 2009. All of the information needed for an application can be found in the attached Call for Applications, or online at www.clean-coal.info/awardprog.
