Japan Energy Focus at Gastech 2026
Japan remains one of the most important and influential energy markets globally. Understanding Japan’s energy strategy is essential to defining the future of LNG and natural gas in Asia and beyond.
Japan’s Seventh Strategic Energy Plan (2025) places supply resilience at the centre of its national energy strategy. As the world’s second-largest LNG importer, Japan continues to position natural gas as a key fuel supporting both energy security and decarbonisation. Amid rising demand, digitalisation and market volatility, Japan is advancing a pragmatic energy pathway focused on LNG, hydrogen, electrification and next-generation technologies — an approach increasingly influencing energy strategies across Asia.
Japan Energy at Gastech Programme is an opportunity to engage on-site with leading stakeholders from across the world’s fifth largest energy market, and its key regional and international partners. At a crucial strategic inflection point for regional and world energy systems, international policymakers and energy leaders will convene to explore investment priorities, supply diversification and the evolving role of natural gas in Japan and Asia’s energy future.
