Co-Founder and Executive Director
New Producers for Sustainable Energy
Dr Valérie Marcel is co-founder and executive director of the New Producers for Sustainable Energy (formerly New Producers Group), a South-South peer-to-peer government network bringing together 23 emerging oil and gas producer countries. Valérie is an expert on national oil companies, governance of the petroleum sector, and transition pathways for oil and gas producers. She has published widely on these issues as a Research Associate at SOAS and an Associate Fellow at Chatham House, including Left Behind: Emerging Oil and Gas Producers in a Warming World and Oil Titans: National Oil Companies in the Middle East. Valerie sits on various advisory councils, including at Oxford’s Technology & Management Centre for Development, the Natural Resource Governance Institute, the OECD, and the Payne Institute. She served as both Deputy Chair and Chair of the Governing Board of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnerships (REEEP). She was a member of the World Economic Forum's Strategy Officers group and of Columbia University’s Executive Session on the Politics of Extractives. Previously, she led energy research at Chatham House and taught international relations at the Institut d’études politiques (Sciences Po), Paris and Cairo University.
South-South cooperation brings developing countries significant energy benefits, driving access, efficiency, and sustainability through multiple mechanisms. Successful examples abound in the energy sector: China and Africa have joined forces to deploy suitable renewable energy technologies, boosting energy supply and rural electrification; Brazil is sharing bioenergy expertise with Mozambique; and India is sharing solar energy technology and know-how with African nations. Despite the successes, developing countries face common challenges - energy poverty, mounting debt, and climate vulnerability. To boost economic prosperity and GDP growth, Global South governments need to prioritise capacity building and strengthen South-South partnerships, focusing on improved energy access, sustainable practices, and innovation.
