In Conversation with Patrick Pouyanné, CEO, Total

Patrick Pouyanné talks to Evan Davis about the key challenges he faces as CEO of Total: a major energy conglomerate with operations in more than 130 countries.

Event date and time: 2 November 2017 — 18:00 TO 19:00 GMT

Event location: Chatham House, London

How has the hydrocarbon sector innovated in response to the collapse of crude oil prices since their 2008 peak? In what ways are major energy companies - that are traditionally focused on oil and gas – adapting to the disruptive change in the energy sector brought about by renewable energy and the demand for lower carbon fuels? And, in a globalized world, whose development has been – and remains – powered largely by carbon-based fuels, why doesn’t the general public have a better perception of the oil and gas sector?
