On 20 February 2025, the AJBCC’s Clean Energy Transition Advisory Committee (CETAC) met with Mr Kohei Toyoda, Director General for Energy Transformation Strategy at the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), It was a lively session with excellent discussion.
A special thanks to Tom Allen and UBS for generously hosting the event, and to CETAC Chair Tim Lester for expertly chairing the discussion. It was a privilege to gain Mr Toyoda’s insights into Japan’s decarbonisation trajectory, including the implementation of its hydrogen strategy, the ongoing revision of the Strategic Energy Plan, and GX Vision 2040. The discussion also provided a valuable opportunity to explore collaboration between Japan and Australia in transitioning the energy sector.
We appreciate Mr. Toyoda and JBIC’s time and expertise, and we look forward to continuing the conversation on clean energy cooperation between our two nations!
