SETTING THE STAGE FOR ENERGY ASIA
WITH Asia poised to shape the future of the global energy transition, PETRONAS is setting the stage for its flagship conference Energy Asia 2025 through its pre-event, Lunch Escape, aimed at sparking awareness and driving anticipation. Through this recent event that brought together media and communication professionals, PETRONAS and its partners offered a glimpse into the key themes and experiences that will anchor the upcoming conference – from energy security and renewables to innovation and public engagement. A louder voice for Asia As the world races to deliver net-zero commitments, Asia – home to more than half the global population and accounting for a significant share of future energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions – is emerging as the epicentre of the energy transition conversation. The PETRONAS Energy Asia team with event partners and collaborators,offering insights and highlights leading up to the main Energy Asia conference. Yet, its voice is often underrepresented on the global stage. Organised by PETRONAS in collaboration with CERAWeek by S&P Global, the Energy Asia conference, to be held from June 16 to 18 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC), positions Asia at the centre of the global energy dialogue. This year, the conversation will also feature speakers from countries in the Asean region, sharing how they are tackling energy problems with solutions specific to their nation. 'It's time for Asia to lead the conversation, not just participate in it,' said PETRONAS group strategic relations and communications vice president Norafizal Mat Saad during his opening remarks. 'With the world's eyes on energy, we must be bold in defining our path forward – on our terms.' Held for the second time, Energy Asia 2025 will serve as a high-level platform for Asian nations to articulate their priorities and challenges in pursuit of a just, inclusive and pragmatic energy future. More than 4,000 delegates and over 180 global speakers are expected to participate in 50 strategic dialogues covering _policy, markets, technology and sustainability. PETRONAS' Road to Energy Asia event, a prelude event offering insights and highlights leading up to the main Energy Asia conference. Addressing Asia's unique energy needs During the panel discussion at Lunch Escape, PETRONAS senior general manager for Energy Asia and strategy, planning and governance, group strategic relations and communications, Datin Arni Laily Anwarrudin, said the conference would empower regional leaders to share solutions developed in the context of local realities. 'We are seeing more countries in South-East Asia taking an active role in designing their own energy pathways – ones that are inclusive and pragmatic. 'Energy Asia is where those real-world challenges and solutions can be shared,' said Arni. She added that the conference will spotlight Asia's approach to balancing energy security and affordability while accelerating the energy transition. 'The region's journey is not linear. It involves finding synergies across traditional and emerging energy sources – and that's a conversation worth elevating.' In line with this, Arni shared that the event will also host sessions on financing the transition, integrating circular economy principles and empowering communities through energy access and education. Powering partnership and innovation Adding to the conversation, S&P Global Commodity Insights regional head of Asia Pacific, consulting and CERAWeek Smarco Ho reinforced the need for regional collaboration in tackling the energy transition. 'Asia cannot transition in silos. The complexities here are vastly different from other regions – be it infrastructure, population density or energy mix. 'Forums like Energy Asia are essential to forge connections and co-develop solutions tailored for this region,' said Ho. Innovation and digitalisation will also be high on the agenda. Amazon Web Services (AWS) country manager for Malaysia Peter Murray noted that emerging technologies and digital tools are key enablers of a low-carbon future transformation. 'Innovations like AI, cloud computing and machine learning are already transforming how we optimise energy efficiency, predict demand and manage emissions,' said Murray. 'Our focus is to empower energy players, both traditional and renewable, with the tools they need to make data-driven decisions at speed and scale.' AWS, a strategic partner for the event, will support startup incubation, providing access to technical expertise, cloud credits and venture capital networks. At the Lunch Escape, Norafizal says it is time for Asia to lead the conversation. They will also host generative AI workshops at Energy Park, a newly added feature to the conference, designed to encourage hands-on learning and experimentation with emerging technologies. According to Ho, the diversity of strategies across Asia is exactly why the region needs its own platform. 'This isn't a one-size-fits-all discussion. Countries like China, India and Malaysia are pursuing very different strategies – and that's the point. Asia needs a forum where these differences can be celebrated, debated and understood.' Engaging the public on the transition Beyond business and policy, the energy transition also requires public understanding and engagement. Arni said we cannot achieve this transition alone. 'Engaging the public – especially the next generation – is crucial to building long-term support for sustainable energy policies and practices,' she said. As the countdown to Energy Asia 2025 begins, PETRONAS is making a clear statement: Asia is not just participating in the energy transition, it is ready to lead. For more information, click here.

[Watch] Asia's Energy Revolution: PETRONAS Gears Up For Game-Changing Summit
Subscribe to our FREE PETRONAS just dropped the details of its upcoming Picture this: 4,000 of the world's energy minds descending on Kuala Lumpur this June, all focused on one burning question—how do we power Asia's future without burning up the planet? At today's (15 May) 'Lunch Escape' media preview in Kuala Lumpur, PETRONAS gathered nearly 100 media mavens and communications pros to spill the tea on what's coming. Think of it as the trailer before the blockbuster—except instead of superheroes, we're talking about saving the world through smart energy solutions. This isn't just another conference with people in suits discussing presentations: it is about real solutions for real problems. And spoiler alert: nobody can do this alone. East Side Story: Asia's Energy Transition Takes Centre Stage The lunch talk, aptly named 'Road to Energy Asia 2025', proved to be far more than just another corporate gathering. The panel session brought together some serious heavy hitters: PETRONAS's own Datin Arni Laily Anwarrudin (who heads Energy Asia and Strategy), S&P Global's Smarco Ho (the APAC consulting wizard from CERAWeek), and AWS Malaysia's Country Manager Peter Murray. With representatives from both multinational giants and government-linked powerhouses, the discussion cut straight to the heart of what makes Asia's energy transition unique. These industry captains shared insights beyond the usual corporate speak, offering a glimpse into the strategic dialogues that will drive global energy transformation through a distinctly Asian lens. PETRONAS's Triple Threat: Talk, Tech, and Tomorrow PETRONAS vice president of group strategic relations and communications Ir Norafizal Mat Saad is not mincing words about what it takes to revolutionise Asia's energy future. The energy transition cannot be achieved in isolation. Public and private sector collaborations as well as public education is key to driving the transformation of the energy landscape and supporting ecosystems. He added that the preview session had three clear missions: spark buzz around Energy Asia 2025, open direct channels between media and industry experts, and deepen everyone's grasp of where the energy sector is headed. The main event, which will run from 16 to 18 June at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, will bring together an A-list roster of 180 speakers from 50 countries. But here's where it gets interesting – they're also setting up an 'Energy Park,' which is basically a Disneyland for energy tech geeks. From AI to Zero Carbon: PETRONAS's All-In Energy Vision Think startup pioneers rubbing shoulders with deep-pocketed investors, all while checking out the latest in clean energy innovations. The conference is tackling everything from the obvious (how to keep the lights on while saving the planet) to the nitty-gritty (making green energy actually work for Asia's unique challenges). And they're not just talking about solar panels and wind turbines—we're also looking at AI, fancy fuels, and ways to ensure nobody gets left behind in this massive energy makeover. Bottom line? This isn't your grandfather's energy conference. It's where the future of Asia's power is decided—and this time, everyone's invited to the party. Share your thoughts with us via TRP's .

Petronas poised to help accelerate Asian energy transition
KUALA LUMPUR: Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) is set to strengthen its role in accelerating the regional energy transition by hosting the second edition of Energy Asia 2025 from June 16. The three-day conference here aims to serve as a high-level platform, bringing together global energy leaders to deliberate on collaborative strategies for achieving a sustainable energy future across Asia — and, by extension, the world. Petronas vice president of group strategic relations and communications Ir Norafizal Mat Saad said the event underscores the company's long-term commitment to fostering regional cooperation and catalysing collective progress toward a more inclusive and comprehensive energy transition. "Energy Asia is about how Petronas play a role in bringing together the agenda of energy transition for Asia. This is where the leaders from all over the world will come and convene. "Hopefully this kind of session will further drive and collaborate the energy transition efforts throughout Asia and which has also impacted the world," he told a press conference at Petronas Lunch Escape: Road to Energy Asia here today. Petronas gathered nearly 100 media and communications professionals from over 30 organisations for a lunch talk titled 'Road to Energy Asia 2025', aiming to build momentum ahead of its flagship energy conference next month. The session offered a preview of the upcoming Energy Asia 2025. Energy Asia 2025 will feature more than 180 global speakers and is expected to draw over 4,000 delegates from 50 countries. Its programme includes over 50 strategic dialogues under themes such as energy policy, markets, innovation, capital, sustainability and talent development. Petronas senior general manager and strategy, planning and governance Datin Arni Laily Anwarrudin said the efforts to strengthen Energy Asia are being continued annually, particularly with the second edition this year focusing on expanding the programme's reach and impact. Arni said this year, in addition to the chief executive officer (CEO) roundtable session, Petronas is also introducing and enhancing the Future Energy Leaders programme, which targets the younger generation. "This initiative aims to cultivate a new generation that is not only interested but also committed to participating in the energy transition agenda. "The programme is also designed to create a more holistic ecosystem by exposing young talent to opportunities within the evolving energy transition landscape," she added. Meanwhile, Arni said the Energy Park, a core component of the event, will be revamped this year, expanding to two to three times the size of the 2023 edition and showcasing a more immersive blend of technology and innovation. She said curating the right mix of participants is central to the event's mission. "The target that has been set for us goes beyond numbers. It is about getting the right mix of delegates. One of the things we are very deliberate about is ensuring we bring together policymakers, academicians, C-suites, founders, tech experts, innovators, and energy companies. "We don't just want decision-makers and executives in the room, but we want young people, emerging leaders, and diverse voices who will actually be part of the transition. More women representation is also a key consideration," she added.
