Qatari Scientist Dr. Yousef Alhorr receives International Award for Energy Innovation

Qatar’s leading scientist and founding chairman of the Gulf Organisation for Research & Development (GORD), Dr. Yousef Alhorr has received a global recognition for his energy innovation aimed at providing ecofriendly cooling solutions. At the Association of Energy Engineer's AEE World Conference held at Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, United States of America, Dr. Alhorr was awarded with the international title of the Energy Innovator of the Year 2022. He led the research and development of Synergia7n1 – a hybrid ultra-efficient, patented cooling system for indoor and outdoor spaces. The system is patented from the UK Intellectual Property Office and registered with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

Speaking about his innovation, Dr. Alhorr said, “Synergia7n1 was born out of the critical need to address climate change by tackling our energy footprint, especially in the context of MENA region’s arid and hot climate. By consolidating seven distinct solutions, Synergia provides an ecofriendly alternative to conventional fresh air-conditioning units for indoor and outdoor spaces within projects of all sizes. It can save up to 50% of energy consumption compared to the conventional compressor-based fresh air-handling units.” Dr. Alhorr added that his efforts in the field of environmental sustainability are in line
