Southeast Asia is among the fastest growing regions today, with economic development and energy security, including access to basic energy needs, remaining the region’s priority, said Acting Permanent Secretary of the Department of Energy at the Prime Minister’s Office Pengiran Haji Jamra Weira bin Pengiran Haji Petra.
In supporting the growth, oil and gas, in particular, will remain as an important part of the regional energy mix, and will continue to be relevant and important for decades to come, including for driving energy transition in advancing the region’s commitment for Net Zero, he said at the two-day energy Seminar, themed, ‘A Just Energy Transition Towards Green and Sustainable Development in Southeast Asia’ at the International Convention Centre (ICC), Berakas on Monday.
