Background

About Christopher Faulkner

With over 20 years of experience in low carbon solutions, emission reduction, and CCUS projects, I am Deputy General Manager of the Low Carbon Fuels Department at Mitsui & Co, Ltd, one of the largest and most diversified trading and investment companies in the world. In this role, I develop and implement low carbon fuel projects, leveraging my engineering background and project management skills. I started my career in Japan at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities, supporting the origination and execution of CDM carbon credit transactions under the Kyoto Protocol. In 2011, I moved to Mitsui & Co, Ltd, where I managed the Emission Reductions Business Department, overseeing a portfolio of low carbon projects across various sectors and regions. I worked closely with LanzaTech in Chicago, Mitsui's Cameron LNG project in Louisiana and global gas and E&P new venture development before joining Mitsui E&P USA in 2018, where I worked on multiple E&P, CCUS, geothermal and LCS projects, creating value for both business and the environment. In 2025, I moved back to Tokyo to the Low Carbon Fuels Department. I am fluent in English and Japanese, and have a keen interest in renewable energy, energy transition and climate change mitigation. I enjoy collaborating with diverse and talented teams to deliver innovative and impactful solutions.
