Driving Indonesia's Path to be the Regional CCS Hub

This presentation gives an overview of why CCS is a critical component of Indonesia’s energy transition and climate strategy. It highlighted Indonesia’s unique competitive advantages—such as its vast CO₂ storage capacity, the potential for a low-carbon downstream industry, and strategic market positioning. The presentation also covered the country’s comprehensive regulatory framework, progress on cross-border CCS activation, and the national CCS roadmap.

UK Case Study: Carbon Capture and Utilization/Storage

Ricardo is at the forefront of BIOCCUS technology, having developed and operated its own combined heat and power demonstrator plant with a negative carbon footprint. This presentation will introduce and demonstrate this technology and highlight the role small-scale plant like this could play in delivering on climate objectives. We will go on to outline the findings of new research for the UK regulatory authorities into the wider environmental effects of CCUS and the risks associated with more widespread deployment of carbon capture.
