Bruno Weymuller will discuss the extent to which we can look to technological developments to deliver greater efficiency in energy uses and to encourage recourse to energy sources entailing lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Bruno was a French Harkness Fellow from 1971-72. He is a former Executive Vice-President of the French oil and gas multinational Total; from 2000 to 2008 he was responsible for corporate strategy and risk assessment. He is a member of the board of directors of the French branch of the World Energy Council. He takes a particular interest in the interface between energy and the environment and has participated in many international meetings devoted to Climate Change issues, including the 2009 Copenhagen Summit.
A graduate of the Ecole Polytechnique, Bruno holds an MSc from MIT. He served as a member of Prime Minister Barre’s inner circle of policy advisers from 1978 to 1981. Between 1981 and 2000 he held positions of increasing seniority at Elf Aquitaine, culminating in that of Chief Financial Officer.
The talk, with wine and nuts/crisps, will take place in the Spencer Room at Brooks’s, which is on the corner of St. James’s Street and Park Place. Club rules require suit and tie for gentlemen.
