and now on our air there is a special project about the visiting ceremony of announcing the names of the global energy prize laureates. it was held in volgograd by my colleague sergei brilev, who is also the president of the global energy association.

the great and so peaceful river, the volga, where it makes a sharp bend. there were so many twists and turns for the whole world. but let's look around, further on there is paradise, the volga-okhtuba floodplain, its channels, here they say eriks, lakes, meadows and dubraves, on the border with kazakhstan the amazing lake elton, the concentration of different types of healing salt and mineral mud is one and a half times higher than in the dead sea, by the way, and everywhere around the steppe, where the feather grass is like ocean waves, beauty, all this is in volgograd, stalingrad, tsaritsin, this is a river and this land is a lot of things.

we’ve seen it, but there’s never been anything like it here today. ceremony of announcing the names of the laureates of the international global energy prize. by the way, it is the only russian award that is included in the airek rating among the hundred most prestigious awards in the world. well, if anyone else doesn’t know about something. this annual award is presented every fall. outstanding pioneers, those who proposed something revolutionary new in the field of energy. and old. kind, traditional and alternative. currently, the prize fund has accumulated 39 million rubles. over two decades, 50 scientists from sixteen very, very different countries became laureates. but even before that, every year from january to april. we collect applications, then in may-june

each application is reviewed by three independent experts, and it is they who form the list of finalists, who are now reviewed by our international committee in july and will announce the winners today. the head of the committee is the nobel laureate from korea, reik wechung, members of the committee are the true guru, svetoche, working not only in russia, say, in hungary and india, but also by the way

. we held previous visiting ceremonies announcing the names of the laureates and, accordingly, the assembly committee last year in kemerovo, and before that in kaluga, khantamansiysk in kazan on the upper volga, and why the fifth anniversary ceremony on the lower volga, let’s take a look again. in this photo from the beginning of the 20th century built here, as it was called, st. isaac's, south of russia, the magnificent alexander nevsky cathedral. then it was destroyed, now it has been restored. let's look completely under the dome. someone might be wondering now what alexander nevsky and the south have to do with it, because nevsky got his nickname from the niva river, which is the north of europe. and business. including through these places

, alexander nevsky went to the horde, here is the gateway to europe and eurasia. what's here now? now the new highway that is being built at the entrance to volgograd is part of the north-south transport route. you see, from that same niva in the north towards kazakhstan, iran, and then the persian gulf and indian ocean? given its geographical location, at various stages of history, this land attracted, to put it mildly, the keen interest of a variety of forces. the battles for tsarison went down in the history of the civil war, and a couple of decades later... with the help of modern digital technology, pictures of the feat of the defenders of stalingrad, where a turning point in the entire battle of good and evil in world war ii took place, come to life. it was

here on mamayi kurgan that the guests of our ceremony first came. stalingrad looked terrible after the battles of the great patriotic war, but to be honest, how unpretentious the city looked even some 10 years ago, take the floodplain of such a tributary of the volga as the tsaritsa river, through which the city was originally named, but in the last decade, oh , what a beauty, what a beautiful city it has become, named after a native of the city, alexandra pakhmutova, this new square has become part of... now the tsarina’s floodplains have been radically reconstructed, as for the volga itself, including a watermelon festival on the banks of the volga in kamyshin the festival, although of course there is a decorous part, a competition for the best costume on a watermelon theme,

is even more decorous, there is a new hotel and air base complex located here, because you can also live in planes specially brought here, converted into comfortable rooms, don’t forget , that volgograd... this is uryupinsk, it is called the capital of the russian province, by the way, it is closer to the khaper river, by the way, the don also flows through the region, but of course, the axis is the volga, the shock volgograd, this is the festival 34 for advanced youth, 34, as in the volgograd license plate, which took place just... these days, the next festival 3.4 for advanced youth is taking place on the new volga embankment, where it is exhibited raised from the bottom of the volga. varnikater bk-31 from the time of the battle of stalingrad, but where new life is in full swing, the life of the region, which has doubled the gross regional product. due to what, besides the fact that here

they took a fresh look at the advantage of the geographical location. gs has been working for many decades and gives almost 64% electricity that the area consumes, but now there is a new twist. first things first. so, the members of the international committee of the global energy prize, having examined the power plant, then went to the volzhsky branch of the moscow energy institute. there they were presented with a virtual model of how a new canal would be dug from the ges reservoir, which would provide water to the volga-okhtuben floodplain, which had begun to dry up. the project seems to be purely environmental, but... but in all this there is also something that is called sustainable development, big economy. the balgorod region produces a huge amount of vegetables and fruits, it’s beautiful, but maybe, if

this canal is built, it can grow two, or maybe three times as much. let's see what other projects the volgograd region presented to foreign guests from global energy. these fields of wind turbines have also become a new source of green energy in the volgograd region, and here this is not a tribute to fashion, but common sense, since somewhere in the steppes there is plenty of wind. the signature transport for volgograd is the tram, probably the most environmentally friendly type of ground transport that can ever exist, but green electricity now comes from not only hydroelectric power stations, not only fire generators, but from... solar power plants, yes, while the wind is the sun in the volgograd energy balance - that’s all - something like 5%, but until recently this did not exist at all, yet there is nowhere without energy based on hydrocarbons. this is, in fact, just opened

in november 23rd, the first such hammering complex for liquefying natural gas in this part of the country. built in just 8 months. so we will speak a truly universal language, both industrial development and clean energy. where students study not only from russia, although including our koreans, but also students from south korea and many other countries. it was at this university that a meeting of our international committee took place. let's leave our gurus to decide who will be the winner, the choice is wide. our long list of applications this year included applications from all parts of the world, but we will move to where the ceremony will take place. this is the main broadcaster complex of the volgograd region, state television and radio broadcasting company volgograd trv. hello, volgograd news is going live, we will tell you about key events right now.

the ceremony to announce the names of the 2024 global energy prize laureates is about to start. well, they already said about us in the news, now the fun begins. let's see. no, among the ripe bread, among the white snow

, my volga flows, and i am 17 years old, my mother said, anything can happen. son, maybe you will get tired of the roads, when you come home at the end of the road, lower your palms and the volga.

among white bread among white snow. i’ve been looking at you for a long time, seventy years, here is my pier and here are my friends, everything that the world can’t live without, from the distant reaches of starry silence. it’s not another boy who sings along with me, from

far away the volga river flows for a long time, the river flows, the ox. there is no end and edge, among the bold grain, among the white snow, my volga flows, and i am 17 years old.

you visited volgograd and stalingrad for the first time, what did you visit, what was your impression?

victors, defenders of our stalingrad land, our homeland, gave us a unique the opportunity to touch truly global energy, the global energy of victory, which we share with pleasure with

our friends, which allows us... for the production of non-chewing steel alloys, in the twenty-eighth year we will gradually enter the production of 500,000 tons of rolled non-living steel, so for us, sergey borirovich, the implementation of this project is a very important project, because we will not only produce non-chewable steel alloys, we, through certain stages, can create a large

number of production facilities, producing the most products needed for the national economy. realize the most ambitious dreams, all this will be done precisely thanks to the fact that this project is already being implemented in the volgorod region, and of course, i am not afraid to say this word, these are tens of thousands of modern, new jobs, highly qualified, this will provide an opportunity for development , including our science, our education will give the opportunity to develop our entire country, so it is natural that today when we... discuss, yes, with the residents of volgoradskaya areas, yes, with specialists, they put everyone at the forefront, this is the number one project that provides synergistic energy, this is actually global energy for the development of industry in our country, thank you, well, i won’t pretend, i certainly read it, it’s really not stinging steel for energy is such a direct path to energy,

because from nuclear energy to alternative wind turbines , reducing steel is required everywhere. new ways to use energy. attention to the screen. nomination: new ways to use energy. minggao ouyang - china. professor at tsinghua university. for technical leadership in the strategic planning, research, demonstration and commercialization of new energy vehicles, particularly addressing technical issues related to hydrogen durability. mai institute of applied mechanics and electrodynamics for outstanding achievements in theoretical and experimental studies of the use of electricity to launch
