Doha, Qatar: The Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Attiyah International Energy Awards for Lifetime Achievement will recognise six exceptional individuals at its 2025 edition on 22 October in Doha.
The Awards honour global leaders for their outstanding lifetime contributions to the advancement of energy and sustainable development. Each honouree is carefully selected by an independent international committee of experts, ensuring that the Awards remain one of the most respected accolades in the industry.
Previous winners of the award include H E Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, Qatar’s Minister of Energy; Rex W. Tillerson, the 69th United States Secretary of State; John Kingston, the creator of the Dated Brent benchmark (now the world’s most important crude oil marker), and Professor Michael Grätzel, a pioneer of molecular photovoltaics who first demonstrated that mesoscopic photosystems based on molecular light harvesters can efficiently convert light into electricity.
Speaking ahead of the event, H E Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Attiyah, Chairman of the Foundation, said: “As with all previous winners, the 2025 honourees — who will be revealed on the night — represent the highest standards of leadership and innovation in energy. Their lifetime achievements are not only remarkable in scale but also in their lasting influence on the global energy community. I look forward to initiating them to our alumni in the coming weeks.”
The Awards will take place at the Sheraton Grand Hotel Resort and Convention Centre, gathering over 300 of the most influential figures in the energy industry. The evening is sponsored by ExxonMobil, underlining the strong support of leading energy companies.
