You will have strong quantitative and qualitative analysis skills along with a particular aptitude for critically analysing complex subjects.

Our expert coverage assesses pathways for the power, transport, industry, buildings and agriculture sectors to adapt to the energy transition. We help commodity trading, corporate strategy, finance and policy professionals navigate change and generate opportunities.
