As the global community intensifies efforts to combat climate change, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) hubs have emerged as pivotal alliances unlocking both decarbonization potential and economic benefits. The International and Indonesia CCS Forum 2024, set to take place in Jakarta on July 31 and August 1 at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC), aims to catalyze these efforts, particularly within Indonesia and Southeast Asia. 

Unleashing Decarbonization and Economic Growth 

Across the globe, CCS hub alliances are being formed to unlock substantial decarbonization potential while simultaneously driving economic growth. By capturing and storing CO₂ emissions, these hubs not only help mitigate climate change but also create new economic opportunities through innovative technologies and infrastructure development. 

Accelerating CCS Hubs in Indonesia and Southeast Asia 

Indonesia and the broader Southeast Asian region have a unique opportunity to accelerate the deployment of CCS hubs through cross-border agreements. These agreements can facilitate the sharing of resources, expertise, and infrastructure, enhancing the overall effectiveness and reach of CCS initiatives. By leveraging regional collaboration, Southeast Asia can position itself as a leader in CCS technology and implementation. 

Key Success Factors for Developing CCS Hubs 

To successfully develop and scale CCS hubs, several critical factors must be addressed:

1. Strong Policy Push: Governments must provide robust policy support, including financial incentives, to encourage industry participation in CCS hub development. For example, the Northern Lights project in Norway benefited from significant government capital expenditure subsidies, underscoring the importance of state support in fostering CCS initiatives. 
2. Effective Business and Economic Models: Optimizing the commercial structure of CCS hubs is essential for their viability. This involves creating business models that balance costs and benefits effectively, ensuring that CCS hubs can operate sustainably and attract ongoing investment. 
3. Broad, Multilateral Partnerships: Developing CCS hubs requires broad, multilateral partnerships across countries and industries. These collaborations help scale CCS initiatives and improve their economic viability, spreading the costs and benefits across a wider base and driving innovation through shared expertise. 

Global Involvement in CCS Projects 

Many leading countries are actively involved in CCS projects, showcasing their commitment to reducing carbon emissions and advancing CCS technologies. Countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Japan, China, and Norway have pioneered numerous successful CCS initiatives, setting benchmarks for the rest of the world. 

Prestigious Speakers and Stakeholders 

The International and Indonesia CCS Forum 2024 will feature a lineup of prestigious speakers from various sectors, including: 

• Prestigious International Organizations 
• Leading Governmental Agencies and Ministries 
• Major Public Sector Entities and State-Owned Enterprises 
• International Standards Organizations 
• Non-Profit Think Tank Organizations 
• Enabler Entities 

These experts will provide valuable insights and foster discussions on the latest developments and best practices in CCS technology and implementation. 

Catalyzing Business Matching and Stakeholder Engagement 

The forum will act as a catalyst and media platform for business stakeholders to engage in business matching and stakeholder engagements. This unique opportunity will enable participants to explore potential collaborations, share knowledge, and develop strategies to advance CCS projects. 

As the first CCS conference in Asia, the International and Indonesia CCS Forum 2024 is set to be a landmark event, driving the future of CCS hubs in the region.
