SINGAPORE, May 18, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

The Energy Market Authority (EMA) today unveiled "A Resilient and Sustainable

Energy Future" as the theme for the Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW)

2022.

The theme reflects how the global energy community has accelerated the pursuit

of a greener future. Following the 26th COP26 last year, there is strong

momentum for countries to do more to decarbonise their economies and ride the

green wave to reduce emissions. Recent developments have shown how sensitive

energy markets are to geopolitical events, pushing energy security to the

forefront of the global agenda.

Against this backdrop, SIEW 2022 will discuss policies, frameworks, and best

practices to accelerate the transition to a more resilient, greener and more

inclusive energy future. It will also examine the opportunities and challenges

as the region scales up investments and regional connectivity for a green

economy.

The announcement was made at the Global Launch featuring speakers from the

International Energy Agency (IEA), International Renewable Energy Agency

(IRENA), Siemens Energy, Sembcorp Industries and SMBC. It also saw the launch

of the IEA's Southeast Asia Energy Outlook 2022 report, and the IRENA's World

Energy Transition Outlook report.

Highlights at SIEW 2022

SIEW 2022 marks the 15th edition as Asia's premier energy event. To commemorate

this milestone, SIEW is launching a new podcast series, 'SIEWCast'. It will

feature energy thought leaders sharing their views on the energy transition

through to 2050 as well as their strategic insights into our energy future.  

SIEW will also feature exciting elements to welcome more delegates back

in-person. Attendees can expect a line-up of exhibitions, networking receptions

and a SIEW 15th Anniversary showcase this year. SIEW will introduce Techtables

focusing discussions on the latest energy innovations and technologies.

SIEW's anchor events, the SIEW Opening Keynote Address and the Singapore Energy

international organisation chiefs to address timely topics to set the scene for

discussion across the week including: (i) Securing a Sustainable and Resilient

Energy Future, (ii) Accelerating Low-Carbon Solutions and (iii) Mobilising

Greener Financing for Energy Infrastructure among others.

Singapore will also partner international energy organisations to host key

events. These include the Singapore-IEA Ministerial Roundtable focusing on

Energy Security in a Low Carbon World, and 2nd Singapore-IRENA High-level Forum
