Seminar on Global and Japan's Energy Demand Forecasts for 2050

On July 22, 2026, the Japan Planning Institute (JPI) is hosting a seminar aimed at discussing the quantitative forecasts for global and Japanese energy supply and demand by the year 2050. The guest speaker for this seminar will be Seiya Endo, a leading researcher at the Energy and Economic Research Institute of Japan, who will delve into the complexities surrounding energy needs in an era defined by uncertainty.

Key Takeaways from the Seminar

Participants can expect a wealth of practical insights, which will include:

• - Comprehensive scenarios regarding global energy supply and demand leading to 2050, along with the balance of energy resources
• - Detailed energy scenarios for Japan leading up to 2040 and 2050
• - Considerations for policy and business decisions rooted in security, decarbonization, and increasing demand

This seminar is ideal for professionals engaged in energy policy, forecasting, and planning in government sectors and other relevant industries, including:

• - Government offices and local authorities involved in energy policy and demand forecasting
• - Research and planning departments in resource and energy sectors
• - Management planning and strategy teams in the electricity, gas, and oil industries

Lecture Overview

Endo will provide a thorough analysis based on statistical data and future projections. He will illustrate specific scenarios concerning Japan's energy mix for 2040 and 2050 while reflecting on the implications of global trends and events.

For instance, the blockade in the Hormuz Strait that occurred in February underscored the significance of energy security and highlighted Japan's heavy reliance on foreign resources. At the same time, there have been simultaneous developments in the realm of economic security policies, advancements in decarbonization technologies, and increased electricity demand driven by data centers.
