Event Summary

The 2018 Carnot Prize, for distinguished contributions to energy policy, was awarded to the Honorable Piyush Goyal, India’s minister of railways and minister of coal, and former minister of power and renewables.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Minister Piyush Goyal could not attend this year’s Carnot Prize ceremony. We proceeded with the event, which included remarks from Frederick Steiner, dean and Paley Professor at PennDesign, William W. Burke-White, Richard Perry Professor and inaugural director of Perry World House, and a lecture from Aaswath Raman, assistant professor of electrical and systems engineering. We look forward to formally presenting the award to Minister Goyal this spring. Details to come.
