ASEAN CCS Updates 2025 - Summary

Core Content

The ASEAN CCS Updates 2025, Vol. 1 provides an overview of the latest developments in Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCS/CCUS) across ASEAN countries, with a focus on Indonesia and Malaysia. It also highlights regional and international collaborations, including Japan's involvement in promoting green energy and CCS technologies, and the progress of key CCS projects.

Main Highlights

Indonesia

• New CCS/CCUS Guidelines: Japan and Indonesia introduced new guidelines for CCS/CCUS projects under the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) during the 10th JCM Joint Committee meeting on 18 December 2024. These guidelines align with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and include provisions for CCUS, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), and Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR).
• Regulatory Framework: Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) issued Regulation No. 16/2024, which outlines the legal framework for carbon storage activities. It complements previous regulations (MEMR Regulation No. 2/2023 and Presidential Regulation No. 14/2024) and includes licensing and supervision mechanisms.
• Permits for CCS Activities:
  • Exploration Permit: Valid for 6 years (extendable by 4 years).
  • Operational Permit: Valid for 30 years (extendable by 20 years).
  • Carbon Transport Permit: Required for transporting captured carbon, ensuring compliance with safety and environmental protocols.
• Public Awareness and Journalism Training: The Indonesia Business Post conducted a journalistic training on CCS in Bogor from 18–19 January 2025, aimed at enhancing media understanding of CCS to support public awareness and policy development. The training included discussions on technical aspects, environmental impacts, and regulatory frameworks.
• BPMA Task Force: The Aceh Oil and Gas Management Agency (BPMA) formed a task force to accelerate the development of CCS regulations in Aceh, aligning with the national agenda and aiming to attract green investments.

Malaysia

• RINA Pre-FEED Study: Petronas CCS Solutions commissioned RINA to conduct a pre-FEED study for a CCS project involving two hubs: the Northern hub in Kerteh and the Southern hub in Kuantan. The study includes plans for onshore terminals, pipelines, and offshore platforms.
• Duyong Offshore CCS Project: Petronas, Adnoc, and Storegga are advancing a 5 Mtpa CCS project at the Duyong Field in Malaysia. The project aims to store CO₂ in saline aquifers and is expected to begin seabed soil investigations by the end of February 2025.
• Cross-Border Cooperation: Malaysia and Singapore signed six MOUs at the 11th Malaysia-Singapore Leaders’ Retreat, including a legally binding agreement on cross-border CCS. They also plan to develop carbon credit projects aligned with the Paris Agreement.

Japan and International Collaboration

• Kawasaki Kisen's CO₂ Carrier: Japan's Kawasaki Kisen launched a 130-meter liquefied CO₂ transport vessel in Singapore, supporting Norway's Northern Lights CCS project. The ship is part of a regional CCS infrastructure initiative, highlighting the importance of shipping in the archipelagic region.
• JCM and AZEC Frameworks: Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba visited Malaysia and Indonesia to strengthen collaboration on CCS, green hydrogen, and renewable energy under the Asia Zero Emissions Community (AZEC) framework. Japan is assisting Indonesia with CCS and green energy initiatives.
• JOGMEC and ACE Collaboration: The JOGMEC Carbon Neutral Initiative and ACE have been working together since 2021. In May 2024, they co-authored a research paper on CO₂ cross-border transportation in ASEAN, with the support of national experts.

Thailand

• PTT's Net Zero Strategy: PTT Plc outlined a net-zero strategy targeting carbon neutrality by 2040 and net zero by 2050, including CCS, green hydrogen, and small modular reactors (SMR). PTTEP, a subsidiary of PTT, is leading the CCS pathway in Thailand, with the first project at the Arhit Gas Field expected to reduce 0.7–1 Mtpa of CO₂ emissions.
• Cross-Border Storage: Captured emissions will be injected into reservoirs in the Gulf of Thailand and Malaysia, marking a first-of-its-kind initiative in the region. PTTEP is also exploring CCU technologies to convert CO₂ into value-added products.

Key Information

• Regulatory Development: Indonesia is strengthening its legal and regulatory framework for CCS, with new guidelines and permits to ensure technical and environmental compliance.
• Infrastructure and Projects: Both Indonesia and Malaysia are developing CCS infrastructure, including onshore and offshore hubs, pipelines, and storage sites.
• Cross-Border Collaboration: Japan and Norway are supporting cross-border CCS projects in ASEAN, with shipping being a key component of the infrastructure needed for large-scale CCS.
• Public and Media Engagement: Indonesia Business Post and BPMA are working to enhance public understanding of CCS through training and policy advocacy.
• Industry and Government Partnerships: PTT Plc and Petronas are leading CCS implementation in Thailand and Malaysia, respectively, with support from international partners like Adnoc and Storegga.

Conclusion

The ASEAN CCS Updates 2025, Vol. 1 underscores the growing momentum in CCS adoption across the region. Countries like Indonesia and Malaysia are developing regulatory and technical frameworks, while Japan and Norway are playing a pivotal role in international collaboration and infrastructure development. The emphasis on cross-border transportation, public awareness, and industry partnerships indicates a coordinated effort to achieve net-zero emissions and promote sustainable energy transitions.
