Peter Godfrey (Managing Director of The Energy Institute)

Peter Godfrey

Managing Director of The Energy Institute

Based in Singapore, Peter is the chief representative of the Energy Institute (EI) in the Asia Pacific region. In addition to his role with the EI, Peter also works as an independent advisor, consultant and executive coach to a number of organisations and governments agencies on issues related to the energy sector development within the context of the energy transition and decarbonisation and their strategic implications.

Despite a long career in the oil and gas industry, mainly with BP in upstream oil and gas and energy finance, Peter is now a strong advocate for the energy sector’s need to transition towards a cleaner, greener future. Particular areas of focus include the promotion of resource and operational efficiency through creating a more “circular economy” and recognition of the need to incorporate a more holistic, whole value-chain approach, to dealing with Scope 3 emissions.

Peter is also actively involved in activities related to promoting the need for, and accelerating the development of, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects, the development of the Hydrogen Economy and the decarbonisation of the hydrocarbon refining and petrochemicals sectors. Within this context, Peter has recently taken on the role of Senior Regional Advisor of Storegga, a leading UK based independent company that is entirely focused on pioneering carbon reduction and removal solutions.
