Japan took a significant step in energy transition by signing 70 MOUs with partners at the Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC) ministerial meeting in Jakarta. The agreements, supported by a $1 billion fund from Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Investment (METI), aim to advance sustainability in Asia's transportation sector. Led by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, the AZEC initiative involves 11 partner countries working towards decarbonization and energy transition. Notable collaborations include Toyota Tsusho and Indonesia's Pertamina focusing on biofuels and green hydrogen. The partnership highlights efforts to enhance regional power grids, promote new energy sources like hydrogen and ammonia, and advance sustainable fuels and transportation. The momentum created by these agreements signifies a collective push towards a decarbonized future in Asia.
