BMO Capital Markets is establishing a dedicated energy transition group to support clients in their pursuit of opportunities driven by the global economy’s shift in production and consumption of energy.
“BMO is focused on being our clients’ lead partner in their pursuit of energy transition opportunities as they respond to regulatory and stakeholder initiatives related to a net zero future,” Dan Barclay, CEO and group head of BMO Capital Markets, said. “Our energy transition group will accelerate our leadership position as the global economy undergoes structural changes in how energy is produced and consumed.”
The group will accelerate BMO Capital Markets’ participation in the economy’s energy transition by providing knowledge, tools and support, including research from BMO’s Climate Institute, to support the firm’s various industry groups as they engage with clients on their energy transition endeavors. It also will draw on industry sector specialists initially from within BMO’s energy; power utilities and infrastructure; metals and mining; industrials; food, consumer and retail; and sustainable finance groups to provide a spectrum of expertise regarding energy transition developments and opportunities, including those in:
