In an effort to achieve net-zero emission targets and promote sustainable economic growth, Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) plays a crucial role in decarbonizing industries. Indonesia has the potential to become a leading CCS hub in Southeast Asia, thanks to its supportive geological resources and the commitment of various stakeholders.
Last week, Energy Academy Indonesia (ECADIN) proudly hosted the CCS Knowledge Sharing Event focused on CCS implementation strategies, challenges, and opportunities in Indonesia. The event featured experts from around the world who shared deep insights into CCS development.
Some of the distinguished speakers included:
| 🇦🇺 | David Kearns | Global CCS Institute |
| 🇫🇷 | Kamal Jansen | SLB |
| 🇫🇷 🇮🇩 | Candra Sutama | ECADIN |
| 🇺🇸 | Tubagus Aryandi Gunawan | ECADIN, Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment – Princeton University |
| 🇮🇳 | Firera & Adam Sheridan | SKK Migas |
| 🇲🇾 | Rajeev Domble | Technip Energies |
| 🇳🇴 | Alexander Engh | Norwegian Ministry of Energy |
| 🇫🇷 🇮🇩 | Ahyad | AirLiquide, ECO2-Normandy Consortium |
These speakers shared their experiences regarding CCS implementation in various countries, covering technical challenges, regulatory aspects, and investment opportunities that can bring economic benefits to Indonesia.
CCS is not only a solution to reduce carbon emissions from heavy industries but also opens doors for international collaboration and new investments in the clean energy sector. With strong collaboration between the government, industry, and scientific community, Indonesia holds great potential to lead CCS initiatives in the region.
The time for action is now! Let’s turn the knowledge shared into concrete steps to reduce carbon emissions and create sustainable economic opportunities.
