He has spent nearly four decades in the energy sector, including 32 years with the Geological Survey of Canada as a scientist and research manager, where he published extensively on energy and hydrocarbon resource issues in the scientific literature. Now retired from the GSC, he heads his own consulting company specializing in global energy and sustainability. Dave Hughes developed Canada's National Coal Inventory, and oversaw the publication of the Canadian Gas Potential Committee's most recent review of Canada's unconventional gas potential. He is a Fellow of the Post-Carbon Institute and is also on the Board of Directors of the Canadian branch of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil.
