PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE) has reaffirmed its commitment to\naccelerating the implementation of Carbon Capture and Storage\/Carbon\nCapture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCS\/CCUS) technologies to support the\nregional energy transition.<\/p>\n
Dannif Danusaputro, Director of Investment & Business Development\nat PHE, noted that Indonesia has made significant progress in its\nCCS\/CCUS project portfolio during his presentation at the Korea CCUS\nConference 2 \u201926 in Seoul, South Korea.<\/p>\n
In addition to pilot-scale projects, PHE, in partnership with\nExxonMobil, is currently developing the first regional-scale CCS Hub in\nthe Asri Basin. The project is designed to be fully integrated,\nencompassing Liquid CO\u2082 (LCO\u2082) transport, receiving terminals, offshore\npipelines, injection wells, and storage facilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur approach is highly structured, where we draw on operational\nexperience through pilot projects while simultaneously preparing the\nnecessary infrastructure and ecosystem for larger-scale CCS\/CCUS\ndevelopment,\u201d said Dannif in a press release in Jakarta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
During the event, Dannif also highlighted Indonesia\u2019s vast potential\nas a regional carbon storage centre. According to government estimates,\nIndonesia possesses a national CO\u2082 storage potential of approximately\n578 gigatonnes, spread across 20 productive basins.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Asri CCS Hub combines massive storage scale, a strategic\nlocation, and a complete transport and storage chain concept,\u201d he\nstated.<\/p>\n
\u201cA technically sound storage site must also be commercially viable\nand institutionally ready. The supporting regulatory framework in\nIndonesia is already in place, and our collective task is to transform\nthis into an implementable and bankable project,\u201d Dannif emphasised.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Dannif noted that Indonesia\u2019s readiness as a regional\ncarbon storage hub is supported by increasingly mature regulations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough collaboration with stakeholders in South Korea\u2014including\nemitters, shipping companies, technology providers, and investors\u2014we are\noptimistic that the Asri CCS Hub can become a priority carbon injection\nplatform that provides added value for both nations,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/phe-promotes-asri-basin-as-regional-carbon-storage-hub-1790697052", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
