Dr Sultan Al Jaber awarded Honorary Fellowship from Energy Institute

The UK's Energy Institute (EI) has awarded an Honorary Fellowship to His Excellency Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, in recognition of his leadership in the energy-AI nexus, while driving international collaboration to strengthen global energy systems 

Dr. Al Jaber currently serves as UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, Managing Director and Group CEO of ADNOC, chairman of Masdar and executive chairman of XRG. He was presented with his Honorary Fellowship, by Dr. Nick Wayth FEI, Chief Executive of the Energy Institute, during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2026.

Honorary Fellowship is awarded by the Energy Institute to individuals who have made a significant and lasting contribution to advancing the Institute’s mission – creating a better energy future through a just, secure, and low-carbon energy transition. The award acknowledges Dr. Al Jaber’s role in building dialogue between producers, consumers, and across the public and private sectors as global energy demand rises, while delivering relatively low cost and low carbon-intensive hydrocarbons, and scaling renewables.

Energy Institute chief executive, Dr Nick Wayth FEI, said,“Dr. Sultan Al Jaber has been at the forefront of some of the most important developments in the energy sector over the past two decades across both ADNOC, Masdar and now XRG.

“Reflecting the UAE’s inclusive approach, he is advancing a pragmatic strategy that recognises rising global energy demand, the continued role of hydrocarbons, and the need to make every molecule cleaner, more efficient and lower carbon.

“In recognising Dr. Al Jaber with an Honorary Fellowship, we acknowledge not only his contribution to reshaping the global energy agenda, but also his continued commitment to dialogue and practical action that can deliver a more secure, sustainable and prosperous energy future for all.”

HE Dr. Sultan Al Jaber Hon FEI said, “It’s an honour and a privilege to be made an Honorary Fellow of the Energy Institute. At a time of rising global energy demand – driven by the growth of emerging markets, AI and advanced technologies – it’s essential to deliver a diverse mix of reliable, affordable and lower-carbon energy options.

“This balanced, pragmatic approach championed by the UAE remains key to building a secure, sustainable and prosperous future for all."
