The German-Japanese Energy Transition Council (GJETC) has been working on energy policy issues (including controversial ones such as nuclear energy, CCS, long-term goals of climate protection) in studies, policy papers and public dialogues in a constructive and science-based manner since 2016. The Council's work is supported by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Japan (METI) and the Federal Ministry of Economics (BMWK).

From 2 to 3 March, the German and Japanese members of the Expert Council exchanged views on the current energy policy of both countries in a two-day meeting. In particular, the focus is on the results of studies on carbon-neutral buildings and on the decarbonization of the petrochemical industry. 

Most recently, the GJETC compared the potential for waste heat utilization in both countries in a topical paper. The studies "Strategies, concepts and measures for decarbonizing the building stock by 2045/50" and “Pathways to greenhouse gas neutrality for industrial sectors that are difficult to decarbonize: the petrochemical/chemical sector” will be published at the end of Q1/2023.
