Welcome to the 20th episode. Our guest is Nicolas Leong from Wärtsilä Energy, based in Tokyo. We first discuss the company, a leading technology provider, as a case study of a firm heavily involved in the energy transition and decarbonization in Asia. A firm which, amongst other things, is focused on grid balancing gas engines and energy storage systems. Nicolas also shares his thoughts and insights about Japan and the developments there on the clean energy front, as well as his thoughts on the net zero journey of some other Asian jurisdictions.
