Energy Unplugged by Aurora EP.83 Louise Kingham, Senior Vice President for Europe & UK Head of Country at BP
In this episode, our Managing Director for UK and Ireland, Dan Monzani speaks to Louise Kingham, Senior Vice President for Europe & UK Head of Country at BP.
Prior to joining BP in May 2021, Louise was the CEO of the Energy Institute for more than 20 years, role in which she had a unique broad perspective across the energy transition. Louise is one of the sixteen CEOs on the Energy Leaders’ Coalition, organised by Powerful Women, a major professional initiative that seeks to promote the growth and leadership development of women across the energy sector.
Dan and Louise discuss:
* Affordability across Europe and how governments should manage the massive impact of rising energy prices on those on the lowest incomes
* BP's committment to reach Net Zero by 2050 and their focus to help the world get there too
* The most likely use cases for hydrogen, where is most likely to be a cost effective part of the transition and BP's new partnership with Aberdeen City Council
* Whether we are on track for the 40GW of offshore wind by 2030 target and what do we need to do to hit that
Next week on Energy Unplugged we will welcome Pat Wood, III, CEO at Hunt Energy Network. Stay tuned!
