The Japan Energy Summit & Exhibition 2025 is set to gather a world-class roster of global, regional, and domestic energy leaders in Tokyo from June 18 to 20. Returning to Tokyo Big Sight, the premier event will bring together a strategic mix of policymakers, CEOs, industry innovators, and technical experts, united by a common goal—to accelerate Japan’s energy transformation and reinforce its strategic role in the global energy system.
Co-hosted by JERA and Tokyo Gas, this year’s Summit will be held against a backdrop of rising global energy demand, geopolitical tensions, and increasingly ambitious decarbonisation goals. The platform will provide critical insights into Japan’s evolving energy strategy under its Seventh Strategic Energy Plan and offer a robust forum for examining solutions to drive clean energy adoption, ensure resilient infrastructure, and deepen international energy cooperation.
A high-profile speaker line-up has been confirmed, with notable names such as Wael Sawan, CEO of Shell Plc; Yoshinori Kanehana, Chairman of the Board at Kawasaki Heavy Industries; Koji Ota, President & CEO of Chiyoda Corporation; Jeong-Joon Yu, Vice Chairman of SK Group and CEO of SK On; and Anatol Feygin, EVP & CCO of Cheniere Energy Inc. Also featured are Allyson Anderson, Chief Sustainability Officer at Baker Hughes; Hitoshi Kaguchi, Senior EVP and CEO of GX Solutions at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries; Michèle Azalbert, Chief Hydrogen Officer at Gentari; Phil Caldwell, CEO of Ceres Power; and Jooho Whang, President & CEO of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power. Japanese corporate leaders including Yumiko Yao from Tokyo Gas, Isao Takahashi from INPEX Corporation, and Hiroshi Okamoto from TEPCO Power Grid will also participate. The Summit will further host government officials from METI, MLIT, and Thailand’s Energy Regulatory Commission, among others.
The Strategic Summit agenda will delve into key themes such as LNG security and supply stability, hydrogen and ammonia market development, carbon pricing and emissions trading, and the financing of energy transition projects. Discussions will span from policy-driven enablers to investor-led strategies, with high-level CEO dialogues and expert roundtables framing Japan’s path forward.
Running concurrently, the Technical Conference will gather engineers, project developers, and R&D leaders to explore practical solutions on topics such as battery technologies, grid digitalisation, next-gen nuclear systems, and carbon capture and storage. Meanwhile, the Climatetech Theatre within the exhibition hall will feature expert-led panels on renewable integration, the commercial future of fusion energy, and the advancement of CCUS technologies.
Adding a dynamic layer to the event, the Energy Innovators Challenge will spotlight breakthrough ideas and startups presenting scalable solutions to some of the most pressing energy transition challenges. The exhibition floor itself will serve as a hub for technology showcase and partnership-building, bringing together leading names such as Aramco Gas, ADNOC, Chevron, JOGMEC, JERA, Tokyo Gas, Engie, Ebara Corporation, Kraken Technologies, and Cheniere.
With its comprehensive programming and international participation, the Japan Energy Summit & Exhibition 2025 stands poised to drive forward momentum in clean energy investment, sustainable development, and strategic collaboration—solidifying Japan’s leadership at the nexus of energy security, innovation, and decarbonisation.
