Today, that core purpose is the same.
In this edition of Energy Focus, EIC is glad to bring readers a celebration of its 80-year history. Initially called the Council of British Manufacturers of Petroleum Equipment, our journey was started in 1943 by 13
founding members – including current members Siemens Energy and ABB – with the core purpose of helping UK oil and gas manufacturers to win a higher share of project work both domestically and around the world

In 2022, Europe woke up to the folly of depending on Russian gas. Supply security became the priority for most governments, followed by concern over prices.
Energy security concern is building support for nuclear, but success will hinge on governments and industry, says Tim Yeo, Chairman of the New Nuclear Watch Institute
Europe’s energy markets are stressed as never before. Prices are high and volatile, and EU citizens are calling for huge interventions.
The EU Commission has plans for a ‘deep and comprehensive’ reform of the electricity market to fix Europe’s energy crisis and make it fit for a decarbonised future. The market proposals may yield results, but it is impossible to say, writes Cillian Totterdell at FleishmanHillard
Climate change is the biggest challenge of our time, and Wintershall Dea supports the global goals to reduce emissions without any reservations.
At first glance, it may seem like an odd question. But the seeming contradiction quickly vanishes on closer inspection – because natural gas actually can be used today to rapidly reduce CO2 emissions and serve as a bridge to the hydrogen age, says Wintershall Dea COO Dawn Summers
The Morocco-UK Power Project is an opportunity for Britain to meet 8% of its annual electricity demand by the end of this decade by harnessing the abundant solar and wind resource of North Africa a
In the middle of an energy crisis, how do we stay on track to achieve critical decarbonisation targets in an affordable and secure way for consumers? And what if, in the process, we could create a new manufacturing industry, global supply chain and green jobs bonanza? Xlinks’ Morocco–UK Power Project is part of the solution, says CEO Simon Morrish
The momentum behind carbon capture and storage (CCS) continues to build, with more than 100 carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) developments having been announced since 2020.
Increased investment by governments, including funding of technology development, means increased opportunities for the supply chain. EIC energy analyst, Joanne Sivanathan, looks at five countries currently leading the way in carbon capture and storage
Energy transitions and disruptions are nothing new. In the 80 years since EIC formed, the way we produce, transport and use energy has evolved dramatically.
Consumers will lead this energy transition, and energy providers can light the path, says EY Global Energy & Resources Customer Experience Transformation Leader Greg Guthridge
Reaching net zero is about more than just balancing carbon emissions; it involves bringing about a transformation in the way businesses of all sizes operate. As the UN calls for a crackdown on greenwashing of net-zero pledges at COP 27, Energy Focus puts the big question to four members
In February 1943, during the height of the Second World War, 13 companies came together at a meeting in London to form the Council of British Manufacturers of Petroleum Equipment (CBMPE).
