Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage
The Opportunity in Southeast Asia
Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies are set to play an important
role in supporting clean energy transitions in Southeast Asia. CCUS can address emissions
from the region’s existing power and industrial assets while underpinning new economic
opportunities associated with the production of lowcarbon hydrogen and ammonia. Regional
co-operation on the development of CO2 transport and storage infrastructure can enable
faster and more efficient deployment of CCUS. However, heightened efforts are needed
to identify and develop the region’s CO2 storage resources, both on- and offshore.
Future investment in CCUS in Southeast Asia will depend on the establishment of legal
and regulatory frameworks and policy incentives, with an important role for international
finance.
