Trafigura's head of energy transition research and venture investment, Margaux Moore, has announced she is leaving the commodities trader.
Margaux Moore, head of energy transition research and venture investment for Singapore-based commodities trader Trafigura, is leaving the company, she revealed today.
Trafigura hired Moore in a graduate role in 2015 and she rose to become a energy transition research analyst two years later, moving to Switzerland in the process, before being appointed to lead its energy transition group in 2019.
Trafigura’s startup deals in recent years have included hydrogen distribution and fueling service OneH2 and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) developer Oxxcu.
“We’ve achieved more than I ever imagined was possible,” Moore added. “Trafigura now trades new products across power, European Union Alliances, ammonia, methanol, biofuels, SAF and carbon credits. Shipping decarbonisation is no longer a fringe topic whispered in corners and the company has deployed innovative solutions to achieve lower emissions and offer these to customers.
“Low-carbon and sustainability metrics are increasingly embedded across traded commodities. These – and many more – are foundational to the energy transformation our society is undergoing. It’s no longer a question of if, but when.”
Several Trafigura executives have left the company in recent months, including Julien Rolland, who led its renewable energy investments and who was set to retire last October according to media reports. Moore has not disclosed where her next position will be.
