Singapore, 14 Apr 2023 – The Energy Market Authority (EMA) today unveiled the theme for 16th Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) at the SIEWConnects@KPMG event, which marks the start of the 2023 campaign.
2. Themed “Energy Transition towards a Net Zero World”, SIEW 2023 will bring together global energy leaders to address the importance of technological innovation, investments and infrastructure, as well as supply chain resiliency as the world progresses towards net zero. The event will also examine the financing and investment gaps in the bankability of renewable and low-carbon technologies, as well as the policies required to better deploy technologies to decarbonise and accelerate electrification. SIEW delegates can look forward to discussions on how governments, multilateral institutions, and industry leaders can work together to support the energy transition to a net-zero future.
3. "This year’s theme, Energy Transition towards a Net Zero World, will explore how we can enhance and co-create pathways for Asia and the world to accelerate the transition towards a net zero energy future. Governments, multilateral institutions, and industry leaders must continue to deepen regional and international collaboration to support the energy transition, especially in Southeast Asia,” said Ngiam Shih Chun, Chief Executive of EMA.
4. At the launch of the theme, KPMG also shared its outlook on ASEAN’s decarbonisation, including the challenges, opportunities, and solutions.
