Based in London, Henning covers geopolitical risk in oil and natural gas markets, the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, and the environmental pressures of urbanization and industrialization on emerging market economies and natural resource supply chains. A particular focus since 2020 has been the emergence of clean hydrogen as a fuel and an industrial feedstock. Henning also helps major industrial firms analyze risks in their global supply chains.

Before returning to London in 2021, Henning was based in Singapore for seven years, covering the rise of the Asia-Pacific region to become the world's biggest consumer of natural resources. Before joining Eurasia Group in 2019, Henning was the Asia energy editor and deputy editor in charge of Asian commodities at Reuters. Before that, he led Reuters's European power, gas, and coal coverage from London. Henning was introduced to the world of energy and commodities working for Platts in London, where he led the European power pricing team during the region's market liberalization period.

Henning has a dual master's degree in history and politics from Humboldt University and in science and technology from Technical University in Berlin. Henning is bilingual in English and German and speaks fluent French and Spanish.
