LONDON, May 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Whitefox Technologies Ltd has received an award from the prestigious CleanEquity Awards in Monaco. Whitefox received second place in the Award for Excellence in the field of Environmental Technology Commercialisation. The event ran from 28-30th March, Whitefox won best in class in the same category last year.

Gillian Harrison, CEO of Whitefox said, "We are delighted to have received another award from CleanEquity this year. It is extremely encouraging to see the participation of the Nobel Sustainability Trust, which recognises the important role technology is playing in achieving sustainable growth."

Mungo Park, Chairman of Innovator Capital, the specialist cleantech investment bank and owner of the CleanEquity Monaco brand, said, "Whitefox is deserving of this recognition and it is wonderful to see it has now many additional admirers."

CleanEquity Monaco 2012, hosted by Innovator Capital and the Nobel Sustainability Trust, showcases cutting-edge emerging cleantech companies to a world-class gathering of senior delegates including specialist financial and strategic investors, established industry players, key policymakers and international trade media. The presenting companies were sourced and screened by Innovator Capital, with help from global international partners. An independent panel of judges, audited by H.S.H Prince Albert, selected the award winners.

During the same week, Trond Heggenhougen, Business Development Director at Whitefox had been invited to participate in the Clean and Cool Mission in San Francisco. The Clean and Cool Mission is a UK government backed trade mission to San Francisco for 16 of the UK's top cleantech companies. "It was a great opportunity to meet strategic investors and potential partners in Silicon Valley. There is clearly an appreciation of the value that Whitefox brings to reducing the energy and water costs of ethanol production through our membrane technology and we look forward to developing these relationships in the months ahead."

Since receiving its award in Monaco in 2011, Whitefox has continued to receive recognition from a number of quarters, it was recently accepted onto the Entrepreneurs Fast Track by the Carbon Trust. Less than 10% of the companies that are assessed are accepted, and it means that Whitefox is seen as one of the leading low carbon entrepreneurs in the UK.
