Pacific Energy Summit

NBR’s annual Pacific Energy Summit convenes leaders from government, business, and academia to explore innovative solutions to the twin challenges of energy security and climate change. By bridging the commercial and public sectors, the Summit informs policy and inspires collaboration to help support sustainable economic development.

The second Pacific Energy Summit will be held February 21-23, 2011 in Jakarta, Indonesia, with the theme: "The Future of Natural Gas in the Asia-Pacific." As a clean, relatively low-carbon energy resource, natural gas is uniquely positioned to support economies in Asia as they continue to grow and develop. Over the course of the two-day Summit, participants will explore the potential role of natural gas in meeting the region’s energy needs and sustainable development goals, and will discuss the market mechanisms and public policies needed to turn those goals into reality.

On November 3-5, 2009 NBR launched the inaugural Pacific Energy Summit in Tokyo, Japan, with the theme: "Energy Security and Economic Growth in the Asia-Pacific: Innovations, Markets, and Smart Policies for a Low-Carbon Future." Discussions focused on developing a roadmap for action around efficient and clean energy technologies and how they might augment established global initiatives.
