Irini Angelidaki was awarded the 2017 Grundfos Prize as a recognition of her research within biogas and biotechnology.
Irini Angelidaki's research has contributed considerably to improving the efficiency of extracting bioenergy in the form of biogas from biomass and waste. This way non-fossil energy sources, which otherwise would go to waste, are utilised, and the energy is brought in a form, which can be directly stored and utilised in the existing infrastructure of society.
