44 Events maltatoday, SUNDAY, 19 FEBRUARY 2017 Multigas announces names of environmental dissertation competition winners Multigas Limited of Kirkop sponsored a dissertation com- petition, 'Benefitting / Protect- ing the Environment', as part of its 90th anniversary celebration in industrial gas manufacturing and services. Held in collaboration with the Institute for Climate Change and Sustainable Development of the University of Malta, the compe- tition attracted 14 participants. The Institute's prime objective is to conduct inter-disciplinary re- search which supports and influ- ences practical policy decisions affecting the environment and social logistics. Through their choice of sub- jects, the three winning disserta- tions demonstrated their appli- cability to policy in three key, yet diverse, areas. The first prize was awarded to Sara Hazzard for her dis- sertation entitled "Interrupt- ing Habit – Car-Use Habit and Personal Norm combined: Im- plications for Malta". Deborah Mifsud placed second with her dissertation called: "The Role of Public Transport in addressing Sustainable Mobility for the El- derly Population in Malta", while Johann Attard's work "Assessing Participatory Geographic Infor- mation Systems for the ecoGozo Initiative", obtained third place. The prizes consisted of €1,500 for first place, and €1,250 and €500 for second and third places respectively. Multigas serves customers in the industrial and healthcare sectors with a complete range of atmospheric and special gases, equipment and services. The facility boasts a sophisticated cryogenic plant and associated gas management equipment that represents all that the company stands for in terms of health and safety considerations, customer convenience and environmental responsibilities. Furthermore, a close and long- standing collaboration with its strategic international partners reinforces Multigas's ability to ensure a robust supply chain of a range of essential gases to major clients. The award presentation took place at the Multigas facility in Kirkop. Prizes were presented by Multigas Limited Director Mark Miceli Farrugia in the presence of CEO Ing Michael Mifsud, Uni- versity of Malta Pro-Rector Prof Saviour Zammit, and the Faculty of Arts' Head of the Department of Geography and Director of the Institute for Climate Change and Sustainable Development, Prof Maria Attard, who managed the dissertation competition. Miceli Farrugia said that while all submitted dissertations were of a high standard, making the judging process quite a difficult one, the topics chosen for each dissertation endorsed the rel- evance and applicability of the studies undertaken by the insti- tute. Mifsud said: "We thought that the best way to celebrate the 90th anniversary of Multigas, would be to remind ourselves of the importance that protection of the Environment occupies within our strategic vision. We are very con- scious of the need to continuously adopt the most evolved processes that make the best use of energy, while reducing waste. Our mis- sion is to relentlessly seek and discover such opportunities." While mentioning the fact that way back in 1926, Multigas, then known as L. Farrugia & Sons, was the first local company to pro- duce carbon dioxide in Malta, Ing. Mifsud said that the com- pany continues to embrace inno- vation in harmony with the envi- ronment. As a practical example, he mentioned the installation of PV panels at the facility, utilising pre-existing structures with the least visual impact. Zammit commended Multigas' initiative and said that the Uni- versity has the ability to produce excellent research that is applica- ble to industry. Attard expressed the University's appreciation for giving both current and past students an opportunity to have their environment-related dis- sertations appreciated and rec- ognised by industry. She empha- sised that such initiatives serve to recognise academic excellence on environmental studies, increase awareness, and generate ideas that leave a positive impact on society.
