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 low carbon 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.Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) can help to put the fastgrowing economies of Southeast Asia on the path to net-zero emissions.Since 2000, almost 90% of Southeast Asia’s energy demand growth has been met by fossil fuels and the region is home to major coal and liquefied natural gas (LNG)
exporters. While the opportunity for CCUS goes beyond fossil fuel
applications, the technology can be an important pillar for helping the region transition from its current energy mix to one that is aligned with future climate goals. Organic amine solution is a widely used and developed technology that captures CO2 well and is relatively non-toxic. Calcium looping is a technology that requires less energy and has lower costs, and is considered critical for industrial decarbonization.Used directly: CO2 can be used in the fertilizer industry or for enhanced oil recovery. Used indirectly: CO2 can be transformed into products such as plastics, concrete, or biofuel. Stored: CO2 can be injected into deep geological formations, such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs or saline aquifers.
