Accelerating the Deployment of CCS in ASEAN: ERIA Participated in the South East Asia CCS Accelerator

Bangkok, 15-16 May 2023: The Global CCS Institute (GCCSI) in cooperation with Ministry of Energy Thailand and ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE), organised the first South East Asia CCS Accelerator (SEACA) workshop. To help the ASEAN create a transition to a low-carbon energy future and tackle climate change, SEACA aspires to accelerate commercial CCS deployment in the region.

SEACA is built on three pillars that are crucial to the development of CCS projects: CCS Regulation, Enabling Policy, and Geological Storage Resource Development. The Global CCS Institute launched the Southeast Asia CCS Accelerator (SEACA), a platform for collaboration between governments and the respective agencies, international organizations, private sectors, and governments of developed economies with an interest in CCS in ASEAN to achieve net-zero emission target by deploying CCS technology.
