Motivated by the need to provide affordable and secure energy with low greenhouse gas emissions, GCEP's founding sponsors—ExxonMobil, GE, Schlumberger and Toyota—joined together in December 2002 to support fundamental science and engineering research to generate a new generation of energy technologies. DuPont and Bank of America joined the GCEP partnership in 2011 and 2013, respectively, bringing new perspectives and insights about the global energy challenge.

In addition to significant financial support, the sponsors help GCEP identify and investigate innovative avenues of research to make environmentally sustainable, low-cost energy available to everyone.
