This ESI workshop brings together relevant scholars and experts from several countries to discuss the current issues on carbon capture and storage value chain, processes and risks. As part of the global energy transition toward zero-carbon economies, CCS technologies offer a pivotal solution to reduce CO₂ emissions across sectors that are hard to decarbonise. This workshop will examine the CCS value chain in depth, exploring essential stages from CO₂ capture, transport, and storage to its utilisation in sustainable products and processes. Scholars and experts will delve into technical and policy-related dimensions, assessing both the opportunities and the challenges involved.
The workshop will also highlight risks and considerations within the CCS implementation process, including the economic, political, and institutional factors shaping its adoption. By understanding these risks and exploring the full CCS process, stakeholders can better align technology development with regional decarbonisation strategies, helping countries navigate its unique decarbonisation pathway amid the global climate effort.
Our discussions will offer insights into the interplay between government policy, technology deployment, and carbon management, positioning CCS as an integral component of regional energy strategies.
Topics to be covered include:
• Examination of how CCS fits into the broader decarbonisation toolkit alongside renewable energy and efficiency measures
• Assessment of policy frameworks and incentives needed to drive CCS adoption in transport
• Challenges and opportunities for developing regional CCS infrastructure, including cross-border CO₂ storage and transportation collaborations13:00 – 13:30

Opening Address and Introduction to Seminar Professor Lee Poh Seng Mr Alvin Ee Energy Studies Institute,
|
| 14:00 – 15:15 | Session 1: CCS Value Chain This session will dive into the CCS value chain, encompassing CO₂ capture, transportation, and long-term storage. Innovative technologies and best practices are paving the way for the future of CCS deployment, with the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions in high-emission industries. The speakers will discuss effective strategies for integrating CCS technology into existing industrial processes, along with recent advancements in CO₂ capture and storage methods that enhance the feasibility and safety of CCS. They will also address the primary safety concerns associated with CCS and the measures taken to mitigate them. 10 min presentation 35 min panel discussion and open Q&A at the end Moderator: Speakers: Mr. Haoren Lu CCUS Lead- APAC, Mr. Craig D. Stewart Senior Vice President of International E&P and CCUS, |
| 15:15 – 15:45 | Tea Break |
| 15:45 – 17:00 | Session 2: Policy and Regulation This section explores the regulatory and policy landscape of CCS that needs to address the complexities of the entire CCS value chain, from CO2 capture and transportation to its long-term storage. The speakers will discuss the enablers and challenges in creating a conducive environment for CCS deployment, ensuring that it becomes a viable solution for reducing carbon emissions in the high-emitter industry. They will also elaborate on the de-risking strategies, legal framework to ensure safety protocols, innovation in CCS business models, and effective monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems. 10 min presentation 35 min panel discussion and open Q&A at the end Moderator: Speakers: Ms. Marie Reiter Ms. Aishah Hatta Senior Consultant, Storage, Global CCS Institute |
