SolarVenti Ltd. Denmark Receives
Environmental Energy Award 2010 |
 |
SolarVenti received a
significant award as well as many words of
praise for its products and long time
perseverance during the recent conference “The
Opening Debate of Energy Policy” at Christiansborg, the Danish Parliament.
Minister of Climate and Energy Lykke Friis,
together with deputy chairman Henning Nielsen
from “DS Håndværk og Industri” (Main
Organization of Danish metal industry), handed
over a statuette and the words of praise during
the conference that took place on October 6th
2010.
The award from “DS Håndværk og Industri”, which
is a sculpture made by the artist Keld Moseholm,
is given to a company which has developed a
product or a process that secures a clear
improvement in the use of free energy and thus
creates an environmental advantage to society.
In her speech at the hand-over ceremony the
minister stressed the importance of the fact
that companies like SolarVenti are able to
develop energy systems which have a positive
climatic effect as well as a positive effect on
the employment situation in Denmark.

In his acceptance speech at
the award ceremony Hans Jørgen Christensen
reassured the minister that SolarVenti
products do not need financial support from
the government.
“On the contrary. The sales of our products
provide a lot of money for the state in
terms of taxes and V.A.T. People buy our
products, because these products solve a
real problem of moist in people’s houses and
homes. At the same time, the air solar
collectors help saving heating costs and
maintenance.”
Hans Jørgen Christensen did, however,
encourage the politicians to do something
effectively on behalf of the business, the
environment and the state income, namely as
quickly as possible to establish a quality
control of air solar collectors through
official measurement standards and possible
certification. Simply because the market is
in danger of being flooded with products
which are definitely not all of a serious
nature.
“As an independent company we cannot
ourselves afford to do this on behalf of the
business. And unserious products can easily
ruin the positive view on air solar
collectors which SolarVenti for many years
were the only company to offer. We need
competition, but it must be a fair one,”
ended Hans Jørgen Christensen.
