Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC) concept aims for energy transitions  tailored to each country’s circumstances, together with Asian countries that are actively trying toward carbon neutrality while having similar challenges to Japan in decarbonization.

AZEC is a platform consisting of Asian countries that are promoting decarbonization. Japan intends to contribute its resources and experience to AZEC, by providing support on technology, finance, and human resources through AETI, JCM, etc., and by policy coordination with partner countries. AZEC aims to support new technologies and reduce costs through market expansion.

In the future, it is hoped that there will be collaboration and synergy in carrying out decarbonization until the goal of net zero emissions is achieved by 2060.
