/PRNewswire/ -- Before an audience of 350 scientists,

innovators and economic world leaders three scientists who have devoted their

lives to scientific research in the field of cryogenics received today the Global

Energy International Prize 2012. UK Professor, Mr. Rodney John Allan, and two

members of the Russian Academy of Science, Mr. Valery Kostyuk and Mr. Boris

Katorgin were presented with one of the world's most respected awards in the

energy sector. On behalf of the President of the Russian Federation Mr.

Vladimir Putin, the President of Rusneft, Mr. Igor Sechin congratulated the

laureates during the official award ceremony at St. Petersburg International

Economic Forum.

"On behalf of the President of the Russian Federation Mr. Vladimir Putin I have

the great honour to congratulate the laureates of the 'Global Energy', and

would like to convey you his message of deep gratitude for your self-sacrificing

work, which benefits and will benefit present and future generations," said Mr.

Sechin. "I wish you every success in your future endeavours."

The Laureates had the opportunity to meet with the President of

Russia

during

"The Energy Club Summit: Technical Innovation and the Remaking of Global

Energy Markets" later in the afternoon, after the Award Ceremony.

Each year the Global Energy Prize awards outstanding achievements and

innovations in the field of energy science. For 2012 the International Award

Committee acclaimed research in the field of cryogenics which is of growing

importance for the future of the energy sector.

"

Energy production is the basic necessity on which our current civilisation and

our future development depend

," said Professor Rodney Allam during his

speech.

Thanking for the Award he continued: "

We need high efficiency fossil fuel

power systems with near 100 per cent CO2 capture and lower generation costs

than the best current polluting systems. I am also working on the production of

liquid transportation fuels from natural gas. Let us be optimistic. These

problems can be solved. Russia's position as a leading producer of fossil fuel will

benefit from this work.

"

The Russian scientists, both members of the Russian Academy of Sciences– Mr.

Boris Katorgin and doctor Valery Kostyuk – also expressed their positive

thoughts about research developments.

Mr. Kostyuk who is working on the implementation of the cryogenic technology

in high-temperature superconductor materials noted: "

My area continues to

expand and has a great perspective for being used in Aerospace and Energy

sectors. I deeply believe that the partnership between the Government and the

science world will bring momentum for Russian research and scientific studies

."

Mr. Boris Katorgin highlighted: "
