STOCKTON, CA, January 30, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- SuperGreen Live, the three-day global virtual event spotlighting climate innovation, impact investing, and sustainable enterprise, concluded its highly anticipated Live Pitch competition with a powerful message: the future of climate solutions is diverse, scalable, and already here.

Four climate-focused companies competed live before a global audience and a panel of distinguished judges, each represented by their CEO. After thoughtful deliberation and enthusiastic audience participation, the Live Pitch resulted in three award-winning companies, reflecting both expert evaluation and grassroots investor enthusiasm.

The Judges' Choice Award was presented to Emission Free Generators, led by CEO Mark Collins, while the SuperCrowd Award, determined by audience vote, resulted in a rare and meaningful tie between Enterprise Energy, led by CEO Eric Pasi, and EcoSave Technologies, led by President Joe Dolin.

A Live Pitch That Reflected the Urgency—and Promise—of Climate Action
The SuperGreen Live Pitch brought together founders addressing some of the most pressing challenges of the climate transition: clean energy access, pollution prevention, and zero-emission power generation. The four finalists included:

- Joe Dolin, President of EcoSave Technologies
- Mark Collins, CEO of Emission Free Generators
- Eric Pasi, CEO of Enterprise Energy
- Kevin Wolf, CEO of Wind Harvest International

Audience members from around the world participated in real-time voting, reflecting SuperGreen Live's core belief that everyday people can play a meaningful role in advancing climate solutions.

Judges' Choice: Emission Free Generators

The judges selected Emission Free Generators for its groundbreaking hydrogen-on-demand portable generator technology, which produces clean electricity with zero emissions, releasing only water vapor as a byproduct. The system eliminates reliance on fossil-fuel generators while providing reliable power in off-grid, emergency, and mobile applications.

"Winning the Judges' Choice Award at SuperGreen Live is an incredible honor," said Mark Collins, CEO of Emission Free Generators. "This recognition validates years of innovation, testing, and persistence. Our mission has always been to deliver truly clean, reliable power wherever it's needed—and this moment tells us we're on the right path."

SuperCrowd Award Winners: Enterprise Energy and EcoSave Technologies

In a rare outcome, audience voting resulted in a tie between two companies whose missions resonated deeply with the SuperCrowd community.

Enterprise Energy earned widespread support for its focus on community solar and energy storage, particularly for low- and moderate-income households that cannot host solar installations themselves. As one of only a small number of minority-owned and operated clean energy developers, the company is working to ensure the clean energy transition is equitable and inclusive.

"This award belongs to the communities we serve," said Eric Pasi, CEO of Enterprise Energy. "We believe the clean energy future must leave no one behind. Seeing the SuperCrowd embrace that vision tells us that investors and communities alike are ready for a more inclusive approach to climate solutions."

EcoSave Technologies tied for the SuperCrowd Award based on its powerful solution for cleaner oceans and waterways, using its proprietary EST CORE™ filtration system to remove up to 99.99% of hydrocarbons and chemical pollutants from water. The technology offers scalable, deployable systems for municipalities, ports, and local operators working to protect ecosystems and reduce environmental cleanup costs.

"We're deeply grateful for this recognition from the SuperCrowd," said Joe Dolin, CEO of EcoSave Technologies. "Clean water is foundational to healthy communities and resilient ecosystems. This award reinforces that people understand the urgency of protecting our shared waterways—and the value of proven solutions that work."

Expert Judges Bring Deep Insight to the Selection Process

The Live Pitch judging panel brought extensive experience across impact investing, data-driven analysis, and community-focused finance. Judges included:

- Paul Lovejoy, Co-Founder, Stakeholder Enterprise
- Léa Bouhelier-Gautreau, Senior Analyst, KingsCrowd
- Jackie Logan, Vice President of Investor Relations, Honeycomb Credit

Together, the judges evaluated the companies based on innovation, feasibility, impact, and potential for scale.

A Celebration of Momentum, Not Just Winners

Devin Thorpe, Founder of SuperGreen Live and CEO of The Super Crowd, Inc., emphasized that the outcomes reflected something larger than a competition.

"What thrilled me most about this Live Pitch wasn't just the winners—it was what they represent," Thorpe said. "We saw clean energy, clean water, and zero-emission power solutions that are real, scalable, and ready now. The fact that our judges and our audience both rallied behind these companies tells me that climate solutions aren't just possible—they're investable, actionable, and advancing right now."

Thorpe added, "SuperGreen Live exists to accelerate exactly this kind of progress, and this Live Pitch did just that."
