LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Benchmark Mineral Intelligence Limited (“Benchmark”) is delighted to announce that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will be recognized with Benchmark’s inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award, for his visionary leadership in rapidly advancing clean, sustainable energy initiatives, while ensuring that the energy transition can also be a major economic driver.

The Award will be presented on behalf of Benchmark by Nobel Laureate Dr. Stanley Whittingham, forefather of the lithium-ion battery.

As the twice-elected leader of the State of California from 2003 to 2011, Governor Schwarzenegger spearheaded the state’s world-leading commitment to green energy and environmental stewardship, signing the first-in-the-nation Global Warming Solutions Act and the Million Solar Roofs Initiative in 2006. He also issued a seminal Executive Order establishing the Low Carbon Fuel Standard. Such actions set the standard for the rest of the USA and beyond.

Moores, commented, “A generation ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger shifted the entire geopolitical narrative towards the advent of batteries, electric vehicles, and low-carbon technologies long before it was in the mainstream discourse.”

“It is our privilege to recognize Governor Schwarzenegger for his outstanding contributions to clean energy,” Moores said. “Arnold was the first US governor to develop a comprehensive, future-focussed energy strategy, which created the example for low-carbon energy policies around the world.”
