JOGMEC gained insights from CCUS experts for CO2 EOR guideline
A workshop on CO2 EOR guideline prepared by Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC), with support from Asia CCUS Network (ACN) is held on Tuesday, 18 April 2023. The CO2 EOR guideline contained a detailed procedure and guides on developing a CO2 EOR project, especially in the ASEAN region. This guideline is purposed as a reference for ASEAN countries to develop a detailed standard operational procedure (SOP) to develop CO2 EOR projects in the respective country. The workshop is attended by experts, both from technical and policy sides, who have been involved in CCUS projects in the ASEAN region.
Mr Shigeru Kimura, Special Advisor to the President on Energy Affairs, ERIA conveyed the opening remarks by underlining the importance of CO2 EOR project development in the ASEAN region to reduce GHG emission and tackle climate change. Mr Kimura also mentioned that the workshop invited experts of CCUS from ASEAN region to give insights and comments regarding the CO2 EOR guideline by JOGMEC, with the hope that the guideline can be improved before the document can be shared as an open-source document.
USGS Introduces Geological Carbon Sequestration Concepts and Assessment Methods to Facilitate Climate Goals in Asia
USGS-ACN Joint Workshop, 23 June 2022: The United States Geological Survey (USGS) introduced its longstanding work on geological carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration (or storage) capacity assessments and is inviting partnership with Asian countries for future geologic storage capacity assessment projects. The USGS together with the US Department of Energy is intensifying efforts to promote global geologic CO2 storage assessments, particularly in emerging economies. Through decades-long studies in geologic carbon sequestration, the USGS has the knowledge and expertise in this critical field which they would like to share with ASEAN and the Asia region.
The Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia’s (ERIA) Asia CCUS Network (ACN) partnered with the USGS in the latest joint capacity-building workshop on geologic CO2 storage resource assessments in the ASEAN region. Held on 23 June 2022, several USGS leading scientists presented various approaches for geological carbon storage and discussed methodologies for geological CO2 storage resource assessments. Through the event, the USGS sought to connect with members of the ACN’s extensive network interested in CO2 storage and assessment to realise global climate targets.
Technology and Scaling-Up Measures Paramount for CCUS Deployment in Asia
On 18 January 2022, the Mitsubishi Research Institute (MRI) hosted a CCUS Workshop titled ‘CCUS Model Case Study Workshop.’ The workshop brought together stakeholders from the Asia region to discuss the cost structure of an ASEAN-wide CCUS deployment and the legal framework to support the initiative. The research findings, conducted by the MRI, provided answers and recommendations related to common concerns such as the capital-intensive costs of CCUS and CCS and the regulatory requirements to ensure its feasibility. The Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) as the secretariat of Asia CCUS Network (ACN) co-hosted the event.
CCUS Technical Workshop: Day 3-Utilisation of CO2
Day 3, 7 October 2021: The Carbon, Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) Technical Workshop is organised by the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) and the Asia CCUS Network (ACN) to bridge the knowledge gap of CCUS technology and development. The Network strives to contribute to the decarbonisation of emissions in Asia through research, training, and knowledge sharing on CCUS technologies. The event is part of a workshop series that fall under the ACN’s capacity building training pillar, encompassing one of three core missions.
