In her keynote speech at the opening of journalism workshop on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology, Assistant Deputy for Energy Transition at the Coordinating Ministry for the Economy, Farah Heliantina, emphasized the importance of the technology in supporting Indonesia’s energy and economic transition.

Farah explained that CCS is a crucial step in managing and reducing carbon emissions from energy-intensive industries, such as cement, steel and petrochemicals.

“By implementing CCS, we are not only protecting the environment but also creating economic resilience,” Farah cited.

Indonesia has great geological potential for CCS development, such as in the Sunda-Asri Basin, located offshore Southeast Sumatra, which can attract significant green investment and support massive renewable energy development.

Farah also said that CCS integration will create new jobs, encourage innovation, and increase investment attractiveness.

“Collaboration between the government, private sector, and communities is key to accelerating the sustainable energy transition,” she added.

The Indonesian government, through the Enhanced Nationally Determined Contribution (ENDC) document, is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 31.89 percent by 2030 and achieving Net-zero Emission by 2060, or sooner.
