The Asia CCUS Network was successfully launched on 22-23rd June 2021. Initially, 13 countries (all ASEAN member countries, the United States, Australia, and Japan) and more than 100 international organisations, companies, financial and research institutions decided to join 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.
The mission of this network is to facilitate deployment of CCUS through: (i) promoting knowledge sharing through holding an annual forum, conferences, workshops, and meetings; (ii) conducting research studies on technical, economical, and legal standards of CCUS in the EAS region; and (iii) holding capacity building training workshops to bridge the knowledge gap on CCUS. The Asia CCUS Network provides opportunities for countries in the region to work and collaborate on the low emission technology partnership that will eventually help to build countries’ capability to lower the cost of CCUS technology and its deployment through collaboration of research and innovation.
The Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) CCUS Initiative plays a critical role to support the adoption and deployment of CCUS around the world. The Asia CCUS Network is partnering with the CEM CCUS Initiative and the European Commission in co-hosting this knowledge-sharing conference on the topic of ‘Learning from failures – building on success: EU experience on CCUS’.
