Legal and regulatory framework for carbon capture, utilization and storage of The Republic of Indonesia
Abstract
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a method for reducing carbon emission that consists of 3 main steps: capturing, compressing and transporting CO2 to locations where it is permanently injected into geological formations such as saline aquifers or depleted oil and gas reservoirs. Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), meanwhile, takes this further by reusing captured CO2 from industrial processes to produce new products such as concrete or biodiesel. With the goal of reducing CO2 emissions from domestic industries while positioning itself as a regional hub for Southeast Asia, Indonesia has developed a legal framework for CCS/CCUS activities.
Based on a review of Indonesia’s legal framework for CCS/CCUS [1 - 6], this article provides reference information that may support Vietnam in developing its own CCS/CCUS legal and regulatory framework.
