On German Unity Day, the City of Remscheid honored Future Cleantech Architects with its Honorary Award for our work on industrial decarbonization.
Last Friday, four members of our team took the stage to receive the award. The ceremony, which also recognized other non-profit initiatives from the region, was framed in a European context. It opened with Beethoven’s Ode to Joy and remarks by the Lord Mayor, who emphasized the importance of collaboration in challenging geopolitical times.
This recognition underscores the relevance of FCA’s mission: while much of our work takes place in the capitals where climate and energy policies are shaped, our efforts remain firmly rooted in the systemic and practical challenges faced by industry and innovators on the ground. From advancing research and development to bridging the so-called “valleys of death” in technology adoption, real-world applications are a vital driver of our approach.
A big thank you to the City Council of Remscheid for this distinction. It strengthens our resolve to continue our science-based, independent, and pragmatic work towards accelerating systemic change in the global energy sector.
