Industry leaders in Bangkok to discuss Asia’s future energy needs
Almost 200 Global Leaders will take the stage at Future Energy Asia Exhibition and Conference 2020 to address Asia’s rapidly evolving energy mix and showcase strategies that energy professionals can adopt to accelerate energy transition towards a cleaner sustainable energy future.
H.E. Sonthirat Sontijirawong, Minister, Ministry of Energy of the Kingdom of Thailand, will officially open the conference and exhibition and deliver the inaugural keynote at Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Center (BITEC) when the event starts on 12 February 2020.
Attendees will hear from C-level executives representing Thailand’s energy leading organisations, including EGAT, PTT Group, PTTEP and the Ministry of Energy. Energy leaders from Thailand’s ASEAN neighbors Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Singapore will also attend the conference, as public and private sector experts around the region share what they are doing at a policy and project level to meet the estimated 60 percent energy demand growth.
The three-day conference presents a complete tool kit for energy transition in Asia. The first day focuses on Integration: discussions will give deep insights into how renewables and natural gas can be used to deliver a sustainable and clean energy future.
On day two, the focus will be on partnerships, especially regional energy partnerships within ASEAN, as well as partnerships between the public and private sectors that can help drive energy transition.
The final day focuses on transformation, and looking into how disruptive innovation can impact the region’s future energy mix.

These provide free-to-attend technical and technology ‘TED talk’-type content, covering a wide range of energy-related topics including energy transition and digitalisation, as well as will showcasing the most important new energy projects in the region.
