LONDON (Reuters) - A project in India to turn waste food into
cooking gas was among the winners of environmental awards
announced on Thursday.

Also honored were a stove design from China that uses crop
waste, affordable solar power projects in Laos and Tanzania,
and a Bangladeshi solar energy boat project.

Each won a prize of 30,000 pounds ($60,000) in the five
international categories of the Ashden Awards for Sustainable
Energy.

"Our winners show how sustainable energy can improve health,
education and livelihoods and at the same time reduce carbon
emissions," said Sarah Butler-Sloss, who headed the judging
panel.
