This side event focused on CEFIA (Cleaner Energy Future Initiative for ASEAN) and JCM (Joint Crediting Mechanism) which have been implemented as the platforms for introduction of Japan’s green innovation to contribute to energy transition and decarbonization in Asia Region. In Session I, 2 projects implemented under CEFIA were presented; "Net Zero Energy Building (ZEB)" project which can reduce energy consumption in buildings to practically realize net zero, and "RENKEI" project which can reduce wasted energy by interconnecting operation of facilities and equipments in a factory. In Session II, 2 projects implemented under JCM were presented; CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) which is a technology to inject CO2 emitted in plants to underground, and “OPENVQ” which aims to optimize power system operations. In the panel discussion, panelists discussed the challenges on promoting decarbonization and energy transition in Asia Region in the future, and the importance of human resource development for project implementation and enhancement of financing were highlighted. In response to these challenges, the direction of enhancing public-private collaboration by utilizing the framework of CEFIA and JCM was presented.

Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization will continue to work on energy transitions and decarbonization in Asia Region and the world through the activities of CEFIA and JCM.
