Deep Dive Workshop: CCUS Meeting the Challenge of Scaling Up in Asia

Background

ADB’s Energy Policy 2021 has stated that ADB’s energy sector operations will be based on the five policy principles. Based on Principle number two: “Building a Sustainable and Resilient Energy Future”, ADB is supporting Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies for power plants and industries, providing capacity development, technical assistance, and regulatory advice to identify and remove hurdles to the development, demonstration, and commercialization of CCUS systems. ADB has recognized the critical role of CCUS technologies in the long run, particularly for industrial activities that are difficult to decarbonize. ADB has stated that CCUS projects in the context of enhanced oil recovery will not be financed. ADB has been promoting CCUS Technologies since 2009. ADB has organized seminars, published technology roadmaps, supported pre-feasibility studies, and worked on regulatory frameworks as part of its activities. Over the years, the technology has matured, and costs have come down from its initial years and as a result, CCUS has now reached a critical stage of large-scale deployment. Asia will be at the center of industrial development in the decades to come. It will be essential to see that economic development and decarbonization are considered together. This webinar is an opportunity to hear about three examples of CCUS technologies and understand the key issues and options for their scale-up especially in the Asian context.

Objectives

The DDW is designed to benefit the stakeholders of Asia by introducing them to some of the latest technical developments in CCUS. The stakeholders would include policy makers from the government, financial community, technology providers and practitioners. Through the interactive discussions with the practitioners, the event aims to identify new opportunities in Asia and find ways to promote CCUS.
