The event will be organized by the Jagiellonian Institute together with the Japanese Embassy in Poland. “Cooperation in the area of energy transformation will be an important element of our bilateral relationship. This is one of the priorities for me as an ambassador to Poland. We have a lot in common. Both our countries are committed to an open and free system of trade and cooperation,” says Akio Miyajima, Japanese ambassador to Poland.
The conference will focus on the global outlook for the energy transformation in the context of cooperation between Poland and Japan, as well as between regions of Europe and East Asia. The purpose of the event is to present different perspectives, including the role of technologies such as onshore and offshore wind energy, nuclear energy, hydrogen technologies, energy storage, and CCSU/CR. “Today, no one is asking “if”, but “how” to pivot our economies to meet such challenges as decarbonizing industry. These complex issues are best worked out together, learning from each other, and exchanging technological expertise. Japan and Poland are great partners for such cooperation,” said Marcin Roszkowski, President of the Jagiellonian Institute.
