[Lecture Overview]

This lecture will quantitatively analyze the global energy supply and demand outlook up to 2050, project Japan's energy mix for 2040 and 2050 under current global trends using concrete scenarios, and examine policy implications and market impacts.

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz at the end of February this year highlighted the importance of energy security and Japan's heavy reliance on overseas energy resources. Meanwhile, globally, efforts to strengthen economic security policies, technological advancements toward decarbonization, and rising electricity demand from data centers are progressing simultaneously.

This seminar will analyze Japan's energy landscape in an era of uncertainty from both statistical data and future projections, offering key points to support policy and business decision-making.
