The 9th Asia CCUS Network (ACN) Knowledge Sharing Conference
“Australia Experience on CCUS: Middle Arm- The Northern Territory’s CCS Hub”
Friday, 30 June 2023 | 13:30 – 14:30 (UTC+7) Jakarta Standard Time
The Asia CCUS Network was successfully launched on 22-23rd June 2021. Currently 14 countries (all ASEAN member countries, the United States, Australia, India and Japan) and more than 100 international organisations, companies, financial and research institutions are joining the Network. Members share the vision of CCUS development throughout the Asian region, and the Asia CCUS Network aims to contribute through the collaboration and cooperation on development and deployment of CCUS through organizing knowledge sharing conference regarding CCUS.
The Australian Government is very committed to contribute to the reduction of emission in lined with the Paris agreement in which clean technology such as CCUS and Direct Air Capture are amongst technologies very crucial to help countries and the regions to reach the net zero emission by 2050 as pledged in the recent COP 26 and COP 27. Translating this commitment into a practical programmes and projects to accelerate the development and deployment of CCUS, the Australian Government has launched an AUD 250 million program to deploy carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) at scale. Within the EAS’s region, Australia is working hard to be one of the CCUS Hubs that could boost Australia’s CCUS capabilities through encouraging domestic and international research collaborations and lowering the cost of technology adoption. The Australia government has initiated the Carbon Capture, Use and Storage Development Fund which could provide businesses with grants of up AUD 25 million for pilot projects or pre-commercial projects aimed at reducing emissions.
The Northern Territory has huge potential to be a world-class gas production, manufacturing, and service hub. In this regard, the Territory aims to have AUD 40 billion economy by 2030, based largely on gas but tied to the commitment of net zero emissions by 2050.
The Northern Territory has identified gas reserves in excess of 30Tcf offshore and more than 500Tcf (OGIP) onshore. The new economy will be developed at Middle Arm in line with the objectives of climate change management. Incorporation of the industrial ecology approach that included CCS was instrumental in acquiring AUD 1.5 billion funding for enabling infrastructure required for the Low Emissions Hub. Part of the planning includes a multi-user facility for domestic and international CO2 disposal. Key activities have been laid out for the CCS hub in the Northern Territory such as (1) Decarbonisation Working Group to develop a Low Emissions Industrial Hub at Middle Arm; (2) Collaborating with the Timor-Leste Government and the LNG industry to secure access to the Bayu-Undan field as a CO2 depository; and (3) Collaborating with the Australian Government and LNG industry to secure additional CO2 storage capacity in North Australian waters.
The Northern Territory CCS hub - the Middle Arm CCS facility - is being designed for the recovery of >25Mtpa by 2040, which will be more than sufficient to address the Northern Territory’s CO2 emissions. At current industry rates of CO2, the offshore fields have (unproven) potential to capture the Northern Territory’s emissions for more than 1500 years.
To learn more about the experience from the Northern Territory CCS hub, the Secretariat of ACN has been pleased to invite Dr Howard Smith, Director Industrial Ecologies and Government Lead Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), Gas Taskforce Unit, Department of the Chief Minister and Cabinet, Northern Territory Government, to share the update development and knowledge on CCS hub in the Northern Territory, Australia. This conference aims to share the experience from Australia on CCUS policy development as well as challenges from the demonstration projects.

The 8th Asia CCUS Network (ACN) Knowledge Sharing Conference
‘Huff and Puff CO2 EOR: Small Field Solution to improve production and reduce emission’
Thursday, 13 April 2023 | 13:00 – 14:30 (UTC+7), 15:00 – 16:30 (UTC+9) - Webinar via Zoom
There are two type CCS EOR or EGR, CO2 flooding and Huff and Puff (HnP). During the CO2 flooding mode, CO2 is injected through one injection well, and oil and gas will be produced from one production well. Injected CO2 will break through from the injection well to the production well along the fractures or high permeability channels in reservoirs and improve the recovery factor of oil and gas in place. Meanwhile, CO2 HnP uses one well as both injection well and production well to avoid gas break through. The HnP process consist of three stages process: gas injection stage, well soaking stage, and production stage. HnP has been known since 1960s, but the development of the technology is relatively slow due to available easier and cheaper to produces resources and lack of CO2 resources. However, since most oil fields depleted, HnP bring a new alternative to bring small fields and unconventional resources into production possible. Former studies indicated that CO2 HnP has the advantages of strong pertinence, short cycle, and fast capital recovery. Those advantages could bring HnP good solution for increasing oil and gas production and reducing CO2 emission in Asia.
Pertamina of Indonesia has conduct research and pilot projects for HnP CO2 EGR and EOR for several times kindly sharing the experiences and sharing a collaborative opportunity for promoting CCUS in Asia.
The conference will promote knowledge-sharing on the HnP CCUS technology, challenges and opportunities and the policy and regulation needed to support its massive deployment. It is co-hosted by ACN and Pertamina. It will include presentation of the Pertamina experiences in preparing suitable fields, decision to implement HnP technology and lesson learned in its endeavor, and potential collaboration may arise.

The 7th Asia CCUS Network (ACN) Knowledge Sharing Conference
‘CCS Screening in Southeast Asia using Regional Database’
Thursday, 16 February 2023 | 13:00 – 14:15 (UTC+7), 15:00 – 16:15 (UTC+9) - Online Conference
Carbon dioxides capture and storage (CCS), a technology that captures and stably stores carbon dioxide deep underground for long periods of time, is considered to play an important role in achieving decarbonization. To select suitable CO2 storage sites for CCS, subsurface data such as seismic and well data are often used for site screening and selection but evaluating wide region using subsurface data takes time. Furthermore, since availability of subsurface data is normally not uniform, it is sometimes difficult to obtain evaluation with uniform criteria and data for the whole area of interest.
Therefore, to enable the screening study over a broad area using uniform criteria, JOGMEC have conducted the assessment for CCS screening in Southeast Asia using regional geological database (Neftex by Halliburton). A regional scale assessment was conducted for the entire Southeast Asia region as Phase 1 and a basin scale assessment as Phase 2. In Phase 1, basins of Southeast Asia were ranked based on conditions of suitability. Considering Phase 1 result and the location of CO2 emission sources, twenty-three target formations/intervals in thirteen sedimentary basins were selected for Phase 2. The results of Phase 2 were summarized as a fairway map showing the geological suitability of CCS and CO2 storage capacity estimated based on simple volumetric method for each target formation/interval. The results of Phase 1 are consistent with the location of planned CCS & CCUS projects in Southeast Asia, indicating the potential utility of this methodology for site screening at the regional scale. Phase 2 methodology could be used to identify CCS suitable areas by formation and to calculate rough estimation of the storage volume. The methodology used in this study allows for consistent site screening for CCS over a wide area.
This conference aims to share the JOGMEC’s experience on the CCS screening methodology and the assessment results in the Southeast Asia.

The 6th Asia CCUS Network (ACN) Knowledge Sharing Conference
“Direct Air Capture: The Opportunity in Asia”
Tuesday, 31 January 2023 | 09:00 – 10:30 (UTC+7) - Online Conference
Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) technologies are expected to play an important role in supporting clean energy transitions across Asia as an emissions reductions pathway for fossil-fuel intensive power and industry sectors. Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology is expected to support the transition with carbon removals to counterbalance residual emissions through technologies.
Many countries around the world have committed to the energy transition as reflected in their NDCs although some countries have yet to pledge any specific target year for carbon neutrality. However, not only developed countries have committed to carbon neutrality, but many countries in the developing world also fully committed to making the energy transition from a fossil fuels-based energy system towards cleaner and greener energy systems in which more renewable energies such as wind, solar, hydropower, biomass, and other clean fuels will have a larger share in the energy mix.
Unlike capturing emissions from industrial flue stacks, DAC technology captures carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the atmospheric air around us, through a series of chemical reactions, delivering it in a pure compressed stream suitable for storage or use. This can help counteract CO2 emissions that are technologically challenging or prohibitively expensive to abate and address the large quantities of CO2 emitted in the past that remains trapped in our atmosphere. Leading international organizations such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and International Energy Agency (IEA) are highlighting the importance of high integrity, technology-based carbon removals in pursuit of these goals. The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report on mitigating climate change has stated that the direct removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is now “unavoidable”; in order to reach our climate targets, we must both reduce emissions at source and also remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at large scale. The remaining emissions from fossil fuel combustion including power generation or industrial facilities that use fossil fuels, will need to be captured and transported to storage through CCUS technologies or through the Direct Air Capture technologies (around 2 Gt CO2 are removed in 2050 by technology-based CDR in the IEA’s Net Zero Scenario).
The conference will promote knowledge-sharing on the DAC technology and the policy and regulation needed to support its large-scale deployment. It is co-hosted by ACN and Carbon Engineering, a Canadian climate solutions company, which has been focused since 2009 on developing DAC technology and commercializing it globally at large-scale, working alongside local partners. It will include presentation of the company’s technology and business developments, and discussion of the opportunity that exists to deploy DAC in Asia as it accelerates its clean energy transition. The session will also explore possibilities for countries to pursue international and regional co-operation opportunities to be suppliers of high integrity CO2 removal, and to unlock associated economic and job opportunities

The Second Asia CCUS Network Forum - Hybrid Forum
.png)
Co-hosted by Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) as Secretariat of Asia CCUS Network (ACN) and Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), Japan
Event Description
After the COP26 held in Glasgow, United Kingdom, last autumn 2021, many Asian countries echoed western countries regarding the need to find pathways to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 and beyond with international assistance. In trying to find such pathways, attention will need to be paid to the accessibility, availability, and affordability of energy supply to achieve reasonable economic growth continuously up until 2050. Therefore, in the energy transition period towards carbon neutrality beyond 2050, a gradual shift from coal to gas in power generation will be an important policy to reduce emissions. Co-firing of hydrogen and ammonia with gas and coal power plants is another important policy to move towards carbon neutrality together with maximising the share of variable renewable energy and minimising the share of electric storage. Besides, switching to cleaner fuels such as gas, ammonia, and hydrogen, and to clean technologies, an application of CCUS will be the most appropriate clean energy technologies for the Asian region to achieve net zero emissions. Current challenge to apply CCUS technology is due to geopolitical factors that affect international fossil fuel market. The significant increase of fossil fuels’ price will lead to an additional investment on fossil fuel that means its consumption and CO2 emissions will also increase.
The Second Asia CCUS Network Forum aims to report the ACN’s activities in 2021–2202 and the workplan of ACN’s activities/milestones for 2022–2023. The Second Forum invites the CCS + Initiatives to introduce its activities regarding the calculation of carbon credit for CCS businesses.

The Fifth East Asia Energy Forum ‘ASEAN’s Challenges on Carbon-Neutrality and Energy Security’
Necessity of carbon neutrality was highlighted at COP26, and many developing countries announced their carbon neutral targets by 2050 with international supports, making carbon neutrality is the priority actions. The urgency of carbon neutral-pathways is key priority for both developed and developing countries. The COP 26 called for deep decarbonization before the turn of 21st century, limiting the global temperature rise to well below 2-degree Celsius, and preferably to 1.5 degree Celsius compared to pre-industrial level. Any delayed action could risk triggering impacts of climate change and so catastrophic our world will become unrecognizable. In this regard, the race to carbon neutrality will require climate ambitious actions including the introduction of suite of policy changes and the need to examining all the possibility of low carbon emissions technologies and the renewables. The COP26 has brought approaches of using multiple pathways to carbon-neutrality that could help countries with large dependency on fossil fuels to make a more meaning full of, “just energy transition,” to protect social well-beings through energy affordability and security, while at the same time, protecting the global warming simultaneously.
The Russia-Ukraine war has brought an imbalance of demand-supply of fossil fuel in the world. The immediate reduction of oil supply due to the collective efforts of Western-led sanctions on Russian, have made oil market becomes vulnerable; thus, it put pressure on global fossil fuel supply security, as fossil fuels will be needed at least for next decade. The oil market’s response to the shock, is the increase of overall energy cost around the world as oil is a global commodity and traded globally. The implication of the supply shortage has a deep effect on energy security for countries around the world. These high energy costs could distract each country’s efforts towards long-term decarbonization, with the short-term agenda dominated by domestic energy security in which they are largely dependent on fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas.
The world faces univalent challenges: Carbon neutral and supply security of fossil fuels. This means that human will need to reverse the course of our fossil fuel dependency in which we have rely on these fuels to modernize the human wellbeing and economic growth. This reliance and overuse of the fossil fuels have reached a critical limit where the continuous burning of fossil fuels have caused climate change and any delayed action could risk the future climate stability and so catastrophic our world.
Thus, the 5th East Asia Energy Forum gathers many big-minded people including key energy policymakers, public and private entities, financial institutions and research institutes working in the frontier of carbon-neutral pathways to share their thoughts, policy developments, and innovative technologies: renewables, suite of low carbon technologies.
This hybrid workshop is organised by Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), Energy Research Institute Network (ERIN), and Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) Cambodia collaboration with ASEAN Energy Business Forum (AEBF)

The 7th Energy Research Institute Network (ERIN) Workshop: Energy Security and Climate Action in East Asia Region
Energy landscape has significantly changed since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Prior to the conflict, climate action was at the center of energy debate in which discussions centered on how to increase renewable energy and, conversely, reduce the use of fossil fuels. However, with energy prices further escalating due to the conflict and growing concerns about physical oil and natural gas supply shortages, interest in energy security has rapidly increased. Investments in fossil fuels are essential to resolving the ongoing energy security crisis, and it is obviously contradicted with long-term climate action. Thus, the world faces the difficult challenge of how to deal with strengthening fossil-based energy security while at the same time taking step to combat climate change. Addressing this issue is essential for the economic growth of Asian countries. In this workshop, we will invite experts from Asia and other regions to discuss this issue from multiple perspectives.

‘Emerging Economies towards Net Zero Emission: Challenges and Opportunities on Technology Innovation and Financing’
Virtual Workshop as a Side Event under Task Force3 (TF3) the Think Tank20 (T20).
Hosted by Institute of Economic and Social Research Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Indonesia (LPEM-FEB UI) and Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA)
The 2022 G20 Indonesia Presidency’s Energy Transition pillar of ‘Global cleaner energy systems and just transitions’ aims at achieving a global deal to accelerate energy transition. G20 Indonesia Presidency has opted, therefore, its pathway to achieve carbon neutrality target by accelerating the just process of reducing energy-related greenhouse gas emissions through various forms of decarbonization. Such decarbonisation means an additional investment is necessary. Nevertheless, the question remains how to finance energy transition, especially in the context of reaching carbon neutrality pledges that vary across G20 countries?
Apart from traditional financial and policy instruments, countries need also to fully employ new and innovative schemes to support clean energy financing and markets. This virtual workshop aims to explore workable financing mechanisms in each technology cluster (including renewable energy resources and its carriers, CCS/CCUS, and Direct Air Capture technologies) that play important roles in the energy transition with the emphasise in the ASEAN countries.

Carbon Neutrality Roadmap of ASEAN Countries
IEEJ will present their analysis on the roadmap for ASEAN countries’ transition to carbon neutrality. Recently, with the COP26 as a trigger, the decarbonisation movement is spreading not only across developed countries but also to many other countries including the ASEAN region, and some ASEAN countries have declared carbon neutrality by the mid of this century. Such highly ambitious GHG emissions reductions require a fundamental transformation of energy systems. At the same time, the energy transition cannot be accomplished with a uniform measure. In particular, the ASEAN countries are still highly dependent on fossil fuels and experiencing high economic and energy demand growth. Given these circumstances, the study aims to quantitatively describe the pathway of energy transition necessary to realise carbon neutrality in ASEAN countries by using a cost-optimal technology selection model. The IEEJ conducted this study together with the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), and fully discussed the outcomes with each of the ASEAN countries to reflect their views and realities.
The IEA is also expected to release its ASEAN Energy Outlook soon. It is our privilege that Tim Gould, Chief Energy Economist, the IEA will participate in this webinar as a commentator in the panel discussion.

‘Escalating the Role of Gas in Energy Transition’- Side Event under ETWG G20 2022
Virtual Workshop as a Side Event under ETWG G20 2022.
Hosted by Ministry of Energy, Mineral Resources, Indonesia (MEMR) and Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA)
As developing countries aim to achieve similar economic standards of developed countries, their electricity demand has been significantly increasing. For example, between 2000 and 2017, final electricity demand in the East Asia Summit (EAS) least-developed to upper-middle income countries has increased by an average rate of 8.4 percent per year whilst that of the EAS high-income countries had increased by an average rate of merely 0.7 percent per year (Han and Kimura, 2021). Most of these countries have been depending on thermal power generation that consumes fossil fuels because of its economic feasibility and high-capacity factor.
However, to achieve the low carbon energy transition, another available options for developing countries is to shift from coal to gas power generation. Despite higher gas prices relative to coal, this shift should take place in parallel with the increasing use of renewable energies such as solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Thus, under the low carbon energy transition period from 2020 to 2030 or 2040 facing uncertainty of volatile international energy markets both oil and gas due to the war in Ukraine caused by Russia, the role of gas must be escalated to achieve carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction while maintaining the affordability of electricity prices.
Confirming the ‘Principles of Energy Collaboration’ endorsed by G20 leaders at the 2014 G20 summit in Brisbane, the energy ministers meeting in Argentina in 2018 highlighted the importance of investment in infrastructure and the role of digitalization and flexibility in the power sector, including the role of natural gas in the G20 countries.
The 2022 G20 Indonesia Presidency Energy Transition pillar includes the main topic of ‘Global Cleaner Energy Systems and Just Transitions’ that aims at ‘achieving global deal to accelerate energy transition’.
This workshop will provide new insights into how to escalate the role of natural gas as part of the just process of low carbon energy transition in developing countries which shall foster the G20 energy transition agenda paying attention to uncertainty on gas market.
This workshop also aims to support G20 Members to understand the different pathways to escalate the use of natural gas in meeting final energy demand in developing countries in the low carbon energy transition context, while pursuing and strengthening the implementation of the previous 2021 G20 Italian action plan that includes ensuring access to clean energy for all, especially in developing countries.

CCUS Model Case Study Workshop organized by Mitsubishi Research Institute Inc., Japan
Cost Structure of CCUS and the Legal Framework
Background and Objectives
At the 1st Asia CCUS Network Forum held in June 2021, it was concluded that CCUS and Carbon Recycling are crucial technologies for the East Asia Summit (EAS) region to achieve carbon neutrality in the future amidst the expected increase of fossil fuel consumption in the region. It was also discussed by the stakeholders that participated in the Forum, that to bring more CCUS projects to the commercialisation stage, issues, such as the lack of an adequate legal framework to address liability and a project pipeline through pilot projects need to be resolved. Moreover, it is expected that to accelerate the deployment of CCUS in the EAS region, there is a need to bridge the gap and to implement knowledge and experience sharing amongst the ASEAN and Asia region.
Building upon the outcome of previous discussions as described above, this workshop hosted by ERIA and METI aims to serve as an opportunity to share knowledge about the cost structure of CCUS projects through model case study and discuss policies and measures that may contribute to developing enabling environment of the business case of CCUS.
The goals of the workshop are as follows:
Promote the knowledge share on the cost structure and range of expected costs of CCUS.
Exchange ideas of policies and measures that may be beneficial to bring down costs.
Discuss possibilities of regional response for policy formulation.
