The East of England Energy Group (EEEGR) has launched its fifth annual contest showcasing the industry's groundbreaking technology.
Last year's winners were Lowestoft-based Pipeshield International, which scooped the award for a project to dispose of offshore drill cuttings, which are a major issue across the global industry.
“If companies have innovative ideas or technology, now is the time to shout about it,” said EEEGR general manager Johnathan Reynolds.
