Indonesia Awaits Carbon Capture and Storage Projects
Energy Ministry said there are currently 16 carbon capture and storage/carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCS/CCUS) projects in Indonesia that are still under research and preparation. "Most of them are targeted to operate before 2030," Ministry's Director of Oil and Gas Engineering and Environment Mirza Mahendra said.
According to him, the most significant project is BP Berau's Tangguh CCUS which has obtained a plan of development (POD) approval. "In addition, there is also a Pilot Test of Huff and Puff CO2 Injection by Pertamina in Jatibarang Field, still on a well scale, but the results are highly encouraging," he said, adding that the Energy Ministry has prepared a ministerial regulation bill that will stipulate CCS/CCUS, which is currently still under inter-ministerial harmonization.
