WHEN the Sustainable Energy for All Global Forum took place on March 12-13, the first day concluded with a Shark Tank-style pitch session.

The challenge featured three innovative entrepreneurs presenting their solutions to some of the most pressing issues related to energy access and sustainability in front of a panel of experienced clean energy investors.

Dr Legena Henry, a lecturer at UWI’s Cave Hill campus in Barbados, showcased her pioneering project focused on developing biofuel from sargassum seaweed and emerged as the winner of the challenge.
