Key Impact Points:
Barclays has established a new Energy Transition Group within its Corporate and Investment Bank to advise clients on navigating the shift towards net-zero emissions.
The Energy Transition Group will focus on hydrogen, energy transition finance, carbon capture, renewables, nature-based solutions, and renewable natural gas.
The group will be led by Mike Cormier, a seasoned expert in the Power and Energy sectors.
The creation of the Energy Transition Group is part of Barclays’ broader commitment to sustainability.
Barclays announced that it is establishing a new Energy Transition Group, within its Corporate and Investment Bank. The new group will be responsible for providing strategic advice to clients as they explore potential energy transition opportunities. “At Barclays, we have long believed the energy transition will effectively re-shape how businesses and the world are thinking about the transition to net-zero,” says Cathal Deasy, Global Co-Head of Investment Banking. “The creation of this new team is a natural evolution and further enables us to better serve as a lead advisor to clients in the energy and power sectors and presents a powerful One Barclays opportunity to drive value for shareholders.” The new team will be comprised of industry sector specialists from within Barclays’ global Natural Resources, Power, and Sustainable and Impact Investment Banking teams. It will form a powerful centre of excellence that will provide a broad spectrum of expertise regarding the energy transition, including hydrogen, energy transition finance, carbon capture, renewables, nature-based solutions, and renewable natural gas. Mike Cormier has been appointed as Global Head of the Energy Transition Group, reporting directly to Cathal Deasy and Taylor Wright, Global Co-Heads of Investment Banking, and working in close partnership with Daniel Hanna, Global Head of Sustainable Finance. Mr. Cormier has over 20 years of experience supporting clients in the Power and Energy sectors and has been leading Barclays’ Energy business in the Americas since 2021.

The bank has a target to facilitate $1 trillion of Sustainable and Transition Financing between 2023 and the end of 2030, encompassing the long-term Green, Social, Transition and broader Sustainable Financing requirements of clients.
