Abstract
We bring together a collection of papers that were presented at the inaugural event of the Asia‐Europe Energy Policy Research Network (AEEPRN), held at Singapore in May 2012. The idea for creating AEEPRN was in response to the growing importance of energy in Asia and Europe’s relations and to our shared belief that energy will become a more significant aspect of these relations over the forthcoming years and decades. The papers presented here cover the following themes: wind energy, biofuels, natural gas and gas pipelines, exergy and manufacturing, green energy co‐operation, coal, unconventional gas and solar energy.

Notes
The IEA’s “Current Policies Scenario” assumes no change in government policies. The “New Policies Scenario” includes recently announced commitments and plans, including those yet to be formally adopted. The “450 Scenario” assumes that policies will be adopted which put the world on a pathway towards limiting the global increase in average temperature to 2 °C in the long term.
