THE ABDULLAH BIN HAMAD AL-ATTIYAH INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR ENERGY & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

ENERGY

The Chairman and Founder of the Al-Attiyah Foundation, His Excellency Abdullah Bin Hamad Al-Attiyah brings a distinguished record of public service in energy matters both within Qatar and internationally. The Foundation’s Board of Trustees and Advisory Board also provide similar levels of expertise. His Excellency was appointed Minister of Energy and Industry for Qatar in 1992 and Chairman and Managing Director of QatarEnergy at the same time.

Under his leadership, Qatar expanded in oil and refined product production; LNG and pipeline gas; Petrochemical production and the utilization of local gas for electricity, desalination and local industry.

The Foundation provides research on all four areas both in the international arena and on the impact and development of local industries within Qatar and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).

H.E. Al-Attiyah, in his role as Minister of Energy and Industry, also played a key role in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Companies (OPEC) and this now enables the Foundation to provide a wider international perspective on oil, gas and petrochemical matters.
