Japanese companies consider investing in Romaniaaa‚¬a„¢s green energy sector

Romania could benefit from Japanese expertise in the field of green energy as Japanese companies show an increasing interest in this sector. “There is a huge potential for bilateral relations in this field”, said Natsuo Amemiya, the Japanese Amsador to Bucharest at a Japanese –Romanian seminar organized by the Chamber of Commerce and Trade of Romania (CCIR) together with the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) to Bucharest and the Embassy of Japan in Romania.

Tudor Serban, counselor with the Ministry of Economy, said that Romania needs financing for the various energy projects that are currently being undertaken and Japan could become a source of investments. However, bilateral relations between the two countries are well below their full potential, the counselor admitted. Considering Romania’s national green energy strategy, Serban added that a new ministry should be created, a ministry for energy and environment.

Some of the Japanese companies present at the event were: Mitsubishi Electric Europe, Sony Deutschland, Cobelco Eco-Solution, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Japan Bank for International Cooperation and Japan Facility Solutions.
