Opening Ceremony of Japan Energy Summit & Exhibition 2024<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Day one opened with inspiring remarks from Nobuo Tanaka<\/span>, former Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), who emphasised the urgent need for international collaboration to achieve sustainable energy goals.<\/p>\n

This was followed by a compelling keynote address from Shinichi Kihara<\/span>, Director General for International Policy on Carbon Neutrality at METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry), who highlighted the critical role of the Asia Zero Emissions Community (AZEC),\u00a0a platform launched by 11 partner countries in 2023 to advance decarbonisation in Asia<\/span>, and Japan’s<\/span> dedication to achieving industry reduction, economic growth and energy security.\u00a0He added: “Japan<\/span> aims to simultaneously achieve industry reduction, economic growth and energy security. We do not sacrifice one for the others.”<\/p>\n

Yuya Hasegawa<\/span>, Director of Energy Resource Development Division, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), Japan<\/span> said: “There is no perfect energy source. We need to have as many sources as possible and diversify to ensure a stable supply of energy, even during disasters.”<\/p>\n

Kadri Simson<\/span>, Commissioner for Energy at the European Commission, delivered a visionary keynote, highlighting Japan’s<\/span> crucial role as a key partner in shaping the global energy security framework, especially in relation to LNG, emphasising the importance of collaborative efforts, most notably between Europe<\/span> and Japan<\/span>, in enhancing energy security and promoting sustainability worldwide. She added: “Japan<\/span> and Europe<\/span> may be on opposite sides of the earth, but we have a lot in common: we are both democracies, and we are both carbon tech pioneers. Japan<\/span> is one of our key partners in designing the global energy security architecture, especially in relation to LNG.”<\/p>\n

The Japan Energy Summit & Exhibition features a Strategic Conference, which brings together global energy leaders and senior regional policymakers to advance the momentum needed for Japan<\/span> and the Asia-Pacific<\/span> region to achieve decarbonisation goals while maintaining economic growth and energy security. Over three days, esteemed figures including energy majors, government leaders, and industry experts, will share valuable insights on fostering international partnerships, cross-sector cooperation and knowledge-sharing across the energy value chain.<\/p>\n

Junya Tawa<\/span>, Senior Managing Executive Officer, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of the Planning Division, JERA Co., Inc. said: “To address these global energy challenges, we must tackle the energy trilemma of sustainability, affordability, and stability. Our mission is to provide state-of-the-art solutions by combining linear energy with low-emission formula.”<\/p>\n

Takayuki Ueda<\/span>, President & CEO, INPEX CORPORATION said: “The market’s vulnerability persists, and one of the key challenges facing the energy market is the staggering 30% to 40% surge in demand for electricity, even in Japan<\/span>.”<\/p>\n

Shinichi Sasayama<\/span>, CEO, President, Representative Executive Officer, Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd.: “The supply and demand structure for energy is anticipated to experience significant transformations, encompassing heightened volatility, geopolitical risks, the integration of renewable energies, and a mid to long-term surge in energy demand.”<\/p>\n

The event also features a Technical Conference, a forum for leading engineers and technical experts to showcase cutting-edge innovations crucial for Japan<\/span> and the Asia-Pacific’s<\/span> transition to a low-carbon future. Curated by a specialist Technical Committee, the conference highlights the latest research and practical applications across nine key technical categories essential for the future of clean energy and transportation supply chains.<\/p>\n
