Jerome Dookie, new Chairman of the Energy Chamber said “I feel humbled that my fellow Board members have seen it fit to select me as Chairman. There is much work to be done in the year ahead and the theme of the Energy Conference in January “Navigating a Complex Energy Future” is very appropriate indeed. I’ve always said that our world-class energy sector was built on collaboration, and collaboration among all stakeholders will be critical as we work towards re-invigorating our industry. We have to remind ourselves that with natural gas and its products such as methanol and ammonia being at the heart of our economy, Trinidad and Tobago has a major role to play in the global energy transition.”
