Fireplace Talk: Energy Security

The subject of the Fireplace Talks on 20 May, jointly organised by AHK Japan and adelphi, was the topic of energy security, which was attended by experts from science and industry from both countries. Dr. Jacopo Maria Pepe from the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik) and Mika Ohbayashi, Director of the Renewable Energy Institute, addressed energy security from a German and Japanese perspective and discussed the current challenges and possible future prospects. This was followed by a lively discussion on the question of how an equally secure, affordable and sustainable energy supply can be guaranteed.
