About this event

Energy security is about ensuring stable, affordable and sustainable supplies of energy. Maintaining a resilient energy system is of paramount concern to countries that are highly dependent on international markets for the energy resources and critical materials needed to sustain their economies. The Indo-Pacific region is expected to have the strongest demand for energy over the next three decades as continued economic growth and growing numbers of people enter middle-class status and increase their energy consumption.

However, a range of tensions, rivalries and grievances are fuelling geopolitical competition in the region. It is in this context that energy and the critical resources that underpin its production, transformation and use are undergoing fundamental change. Japan and Canada have strengthened their collaboration in six priority areas, including energy security, with the aim of realizing a “Free and Open Indo-Pacific.” This webinar will discuss how a stable supply of energy, including hydrogen, can bolster energy security in the Indo-Pacific.
