Christopher Greig

Associate Director for External Partnerships

Theodora D. ’78 and William H. Walton III ’74 Senior Research Scientist at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment

Gerhard R. Andlinger Visiting Fellow in Energy and the Environment (2018-2020)

Andlinger Center Executive Committee

Location:
Phone Number: 609-258-7833
Email Address: cgreig@princeton.edu

Research Description:

Chris Greig is the Theodora D. ’78 and William H. Walton III ’74 Senior Research Scientist at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, Princeton University. He has a Bachelors, Masters, and Ph.D. degrees in Chemical Engineering from the University of Queensland; is an Honorary Professor at The University of Queensland and University of Melbourne; and a fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering. He is also a member of the Sustainability External Advisory Council at Dow Chemical Company.

Prior to academia, Chris spent almost 3 decades in the energy and resources industries, as a successful company founder, senior executive and non-executive director, across 4 continents. Central to all of his experience, was the development, delivery, and sometimes operations of capital-intensive infrastructure. These included the CEO of ZeroGen (one of the earliest large-scale CCS ventures), the Deputy Chair of Gladstone Ports Corp (owner of one of Australia’s leading energy export hubs), and the Non-Executive Director of several listed engineering firms.

His research is interdisciplinary and deeply collaborative with industry, and focuses on overcoming the challenges to scale-up clean energy and fuels production, carbon capture and storage (CCS), industrial decarbonization, along with climate finance, and energy infrastructure delivery innovation. He co-led Princeton’s influential Net-Zero America study and is leading Princeton’s participation in collaborations on similar studies in Asia-Pacific countries.
