The Fourth Asia CCUS Network Forum

Bangkok, 15 August 2024: The Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia as the secretariat of the Asia CCUS Network held the 4th Asia CCUS Network Forum. The event was co-hosted with the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) Japan and the Institute of Energy Economics Japan (IEEJ)with the collaboration of Sustainable Energy Technology Asia (SETA) 2024 and the Ministry of Energy, Thailand.

ERIA Showcases Norway’s Northern Lights CCS Project to Deepen CCUS Technical Insights Across Asia

The 18th Knowledge Sharing Conference, 30 October 2024: The Northern Lights project is pioneering the advancement of Carbon, Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) in the world in which it has achieved numerous breakthroughs in its execution. Boasting a storage capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of carbon dioxide (CO2) at the Aurora storage site, this Norwegian government project is scheduled to commence injection in 2024. Reaching this milestone required an unwavering ability to overcome challenges related to engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC). However, Norway’s successes offer a wealth of in-depth technical insights that can greatly benefit Asian countries striving to accelerate CCUS development and deployment.

ERIA Discusses Role of Public Engagement and Communication in Advancing CCUS Success in Asia

The 17th Knowledge Sharing Conference, 27 September 2024: Southeast Asian countries are moving forward in their commitment to a carbon-free world by continuously developing Carbon, Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) projects in the region. Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia are expected to begin CCUS operations before 2030, with Indonesia and Malaysia aiming to serve as a regional hub. Improvements in the public’s understanding of this emerging technology are essential to support the ongoing development of this carbon-reducing innovation. Public acceptance is also a significant factor in driving the success of CCUS projects in Asia along with government and private sector support.

Introduction of the Current Progress of Carbon Recycling to Focus on Synthetic Chemical Products in Asia

18 December 2024
14:00 PM - 15:30 PM

Carbon dioxide capture and utilisation (CDU), or carbon recycling, involves capturing emitted CO2 and using it as a raw material to produce valuable substances for human use. This process holds the potential to significantly contribute to the mitigation of climate change. Industry, research institutions, and governments have collaboratively developed a roadmap for carbon recycling technologies. This roadmap outlines two key technological approaches.
