JOGMEC’s CCS Project Guideline: In May 2022, JOGMEC has published the first version of a “Recommended guideline for the implementation of Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage Projects (CCS guideline)”. This guideline aims to promote CCS business and assert the view of JOGMEC on CCS business.

As the Asia CCUS Network members are aware, CCS solutions are critical for mitigating the catastrophic impacts of climate change. They reduce and compensate for emissions from hard-to-abate industries as they move to a net-zero. However, in order to reach the Paris Climate Agreement targets, CCS must be deployed more rapidly.

JOGMEC has developed an operator-friendly guideline to support CCS deployment that contains recommended workflows from project planning to project closure as well as standards for evaluating CO2 storage resources and the amount of greenhouse gas reduction. The next step will be to study methodologies to quantify the amount of CO2 storage through CO2-EOR (enhanced oil recovery by carbon dioxide injection). It is believed that ’harmonisation’ is the key to the successful CCS deployment throughout Asia. JOGMEC aims to play a role in creating harmony among multiple stakeholders, to achieve CCS deployment in Asia, and the CCS guideline is one of the instruments we will use to achieve this goal.
