ERIA | 5th Asia CCUS Network Forum Day 1 – Policy & Commercial Strategies for Cross-Border CCS

Value of the Information & Strength of the Argument

The video provides valuable insights into the current state of CCS policy and commercial strategies in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly from the perspectives of Indonesia and Japan. The arguments presented are based on official government positions and ongoing projects, such as the A3 GCS project between Pertamina and Exxon, which is highlighted as a model for cross-border CCS. The speakers argue that CCS is essential for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors while also driving investment and economic growth. The argumentation is solid, relying on regulatory frameworks and project examples, though it is more policy-oriented than technical.
