Asian nations to get help saving energy

The Natural Resources and Energy Agency will formulate a plan to offer Japan’s energy saving technologies and methods to rapidly growing Asian economies, agency officials said.

The agency, an arm of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, wants to incorporate the project in its new energy strategy report to be compiled this month according to the officials.

The agency envisions dispatching experts to the countries to be selected, including China, India, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, to help them implement energy saving methods that have proven successful in Japan.
