Capture and utilization — Solutions advance technological and nature-based strategies for capturing and/or utilizing heat-trapping gases from the air or oceans.

Energy — Solutions aimed at decarbonizing energy, supporting zero-carbon energy innovations, and leading the way in improving the supply, distribution, and access of low or zero-emissions energy systems worldwide.

Entries may be submitted in multiple categories are only be eligible to win in one category during any given year.
