Recently, both analysts and policymakers have recognized the vast potential for the more pragmatic options of “end=of=pipe” technologies, thereby allowing a simultaneous significant reduction in carbon emissions, known as “Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)”. These technologies allow CO2 to be “captured: from stationary (large) sources such as power plant flue gases, preventing its release into the atmosphere. Post capture, the CO2 has to be compressed and then transported to a safe location where it is store/sequestered (deep aquifer, deep ocean, depleted oil reservoirs). Several storage options are available, the most common being depleted oil and natural gas reservoirs, deep coal beds, saline aquifers and the ocean. Contrary to the indirect forms of sequestrations like forestation or enhanced ocean uptake of CO2, which focuses on removing CO2 from the atmosphere, CCS relies on avoiding atmospheric emissions altogether.
As an archipelagic country, Indonesia is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts, including extreme events such as floods and droughts, earthquakes, and long-term changes such as sea-level rise, shifting rainfall patterns, and rising temperatures. This talk show will discuss the CCS methodology and its possibilities of standardisation for implementation in tropical countries such as Indonesia.
Government representatives, international organizations,
the private sector, and carbon market enthusiasts are expected
to attend the session.
