SENER has been awarded today the special jury prize given by the magazine Capital in recognition of the work carried out by the engineering firm in the Spanish city of Bilbao.
SENER’s President, Mr. Jorge Sendagorta, was the assigned recipient of the award from the General Manager of Innobasque, Mr. José María Villate Blanco, during the ceremony held at the City Hall of Bilbao.
These awards, which recognize the efforts of organizations and institutions in areas as diverse as innovation, sustainability, development or culture, aimed to reward SENER for its “ability to reinvent itself” and for its commitment to “technology risk”, two main features that distinguish many projects in which the company group has been involved, such as the LNG plant Gate terminal in the Netherlands, the Lublin airport in Poland, or the solar thermal plant Gemasolar in Seville, Spain.
In 2012, the engineering company was a finalist in the European Business Awards for the Environment after having obtained, thanks to the Gemasolar plant, the final award in the category of Sustainable Development in the Basque and Spanish sections of these awards. SENER’s contribution in the regasification Liquefied Natural Gas plant of Gate terminal in the Netherlands was also awarded with the Project of the Year Prize of the European Construction Institute and the Best LNG Project Prize seized at the European Gas Conference Awards.
