Center for Energy Impact

The Center for Energy Impact (CEI) aims to engage a changing industry in new and different ways by providing challenging ideas to drive performance. We shape thinking about the future availability, economics, and sustainability of the world's energy sources—and the implications for energy companies and their portfolios.

Our team is composed of senior thought leaders selected for their proven ability to advance thinking on topics that are critical for the energy industry. Members of CEI’s team work with BCG’s broader Energy practice to provide senior expertise and targeted, actionable insights to the firm’s wide range of clients around the world. And together with our advisory board of industry leaders—chaired by Andrew Gould, the former CEO of Schlumberger and the chairman of BG Group; and James Hackett, the former CEO of Anadarko Petroleum—CEI provides a unique platform for industry dialogue.

Through forward-looking analysis and insight, CEI advises and challenges industry leadership and policymakers on the crucial issues affecting the industry and their businesses, identifying both emerging trends and potential solutions.
