Jakarta, February 28-29, 2024
Energy Academy Indonesia (ECADIN) in partnership with the Indonesia CCS Center (ICCSC), an organization under the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Kemenko Marves), supported by Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute (GCCSI) organized the second series of the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Workshop. This workshop reflects ECADIN’s genuine commitment to advancing Indonesia’s goal of achieving zero emissions by 2060. With the theme “Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) Technology Advancements & Economics“, the event took place as part of a series of activities at the Shangri-La Hotel, Jakarta, on February 28-29, 2024. The workshop was supported by Technip Energies, PT Pertamina (Persero), and PT Thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions Indonesia.
The event was attended by more than 130 stakeholders, including policymakers, industry representatives, and research bodies involved in the technology and economic value chain of CCS. The agenda served as a platform for knowledge-sharing and collaboration in developing the CCS ecosystem. Desti Alkano, the Founder & CEO of ECADIN, opened the event and emphasized that “CCS is a complex value chain, and capturing carbon is not a commodity easily traded in the market like coal, oil, or gas. Therefore, strong policies are the key to the development and progress of CCS.”
The second Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Workshop, a continuation of the first series in November 2023, focused on discussions about the technological advancements, economics, and policies related to CCS on both a global and Southeast Asian regional level.
On the first day of the event, Jodi Mahardi, Deputy Coordinator for Maritime Sovereignty and Energy at the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment, affirmed the government’s commitment to supporting sustainable investments with a focus on carbon emission reduction. Steps to reduce carbon emissions across sectors and utilize strategic carbon storage locations in Indonesia are driven by continuously refined policies and international collaboration to support CCS implementation.
The event also featured prominent speakers in the CCS sector, including Candra Sri Sutama as the Chief Operating Officer of ECADIN, David T. Kearns from the Global CCS Institute, Tubagus A. Gunawan as Net Zero R&D Researcher at ECADIN and Princeton University in the United States, Dadan Damayandri from the Directorate General of Oil and Gas at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, and Kamal Jansen from SLB. Oki Muraza, Senior Vice President of Technology Innovation at PT Pertamina (Persero), reaffirmed Pertamina’s commitment to achieving zero emissions and presented the progress of CCS at Pertamina to meet this goal.
On the second day, the Norwegian Ambassador to Indonesia & Timor Leste, H.E. Rut Krüger Giverin, together with Belladonna T. Maulianda, Director of the Indonesia CCS Center, and representatives from the US Embassy and the EU Delegation to Indonesia, discussed policies to support CCS. In addition, various interesting CCS projects and applications, both in Indonesia and internationally, were discussed by representatives from PT Kilang Pertamina Indonesia, PT Thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions Indonesia, as well as Esso Indonesia Inc, a subsidiary of ExxonMobil and Harbour Energy.
Indonesia holds significant potential in the global CCS ecosystem and aspires to be a regional CCS hub. Therefore, the development of technology and the establishment of the CCS ecosystem are crucial for Indonesia to enhance its economic appeal. ECADIN actively engages in supporting research, technology development, and human resource preparation to accelerate CCS implementation in Indonesia, with the aim of achieving net-zero emissions.
