ERA Science Announces Energy Storage Focus for 2014 Prize

We at Environmental Research Advocates are excited to announce that the focus of the 2014 Energy Prize will be in the field of energy stoarge research.

We, along woth the world's science and energy communities, believe that finding a more efficient method of energy stoarge is critical to the future of alternative energy. Many strides are being made in the alternative energy sector, and capturing this clean energy for later usage is of upmost importance.

In offering this prize, we hope to encourage further research that will ensure the greatest possible use of alterive energy sources. ERA Science is thrilled to encourage scientists and innovators to pursue a new, clean energy future.

Information on application criteria and deadlines will be announced on our website and through our social media.
