Asia CCUS Network in 2021-22• Research Study with collaboration of MRI

Model Case
- Capture: Chemical absorption (amine) to CO2 from coal power plant (500 MW of USC)
- Transport: Pipeline (50 km)- Storage: Sandstone formation (drilling about 800 m)- Capital and Operation costs of the model case: refer to public information and data
Regulatory and Policy Study
Results of the model casea. Legal and Regulatory Framework
62.8 US$/t CO2- As a 1st step, develop a CCS-specificlegal and regulatory framework by25%

Study on the Potential for the Promotion of CarbonDioxide Capture, Utilisation, and Storage in ASEANCountries: Vol. I and Vol. II

Edited by Shigeru Kimura, Kikuko
Shinchi, Shunsuke Kawagishi,and Ulysses Coulmas

Vol I. covers findings on
recent trends in policies,technologies, and businessdevelopment fromcountries with experiencein Carbon Dioxide Capture,
Utilisation, and Storage(CCUS). It also looks into
the potential for CCUS
development in theAssociation of Southeast
Asian Nations (ASEAN) andthe East Asia Region.
Full report

Edited by Shigeru Kimura, Kikuko
Shinchi, Ulysses Coulmas, andAyami SaimuraVol. II was prepared under theAsia CCUS Network umbrella
and focuses on the cost ofCarbon Capture and Storage(CCS) and the legal
framework of CCUS. To
analyse the cost of CCS, we
use a model case in central
Java, Indonesia with thefollowing assumptions: a)capture of CO2 emitted froma 500MW coal power plant(ultra- supercritical) applying
chemical absorption usingamine, b) transport of CO2 tothe storage site through a
50km long pipeline, and c)
storage of CO2 in sandstone
formation of about 1000m.

The Second Asia CCUS Network Forum•••The second Asia CCUS forum was held in a hybrid system format at the Tokyo Prince hotel on September 30, 2022.
After the opening remarks delivered by METI’s minister and president of ERIA, 7 Ministers of EAS countries
delivered congratulatory remarks, followed by three keynote speeches from GCCSI, JOGMEC and CCS + Initiative.
ERIA reported the annual work activities in 2021-22 and introduced the work plan in 2022-23.
The forum shared the view that CCUS technology is essential for Asia region, which is heavily dependent on
thermal power generation, and that sharing a CCS pilot project there will act as a powerful symbol. The forum also
confirmed that ACN member countries, companies, and other entities will pool their wisdom to help launch theCCS pilot project in this region by 2025 or after.

BAU, Alternative Policy Scenario (promotion of EEC and RE) and LCETCN (Low Carbon Energy Transition-Carbon Neutral)– Concept of LCET-CN scenario• Final consumption sector: electrification and fuel switching from fossil
fuel to hydrogen• Power sector: application of low carbon technologies– Increase VRE and traditional RE– Installation of nuclear power plant– Hydrogen/ammonia power generation– Thermal power plants with CCS10

Asia CCUS Network in 2022-23• ASEAN power generation mix in 2050

– 7 ASEAN countries will apply CCS for thermal power generation– Share of thermal power generation with CCS in ASEAN region will be 1,800
TWh and 42% of total power generation in 2050
– Carbon neutral pathway looks shift from coal to gas, increase RE and apply CCS(2050)

Conclusions• CCS/CCUS will be effective low carbon energy technology same as
VRE to achieve carbon neutral in ASEAN region.
• Asia CCUS Network has launched to start a CCS pilot project in
ASEAN region near future, thus following research studies areconducted;– CO2 storage potential– Legal and policy framework– Financial framework– CCS/CCUS value chain in Asia region• The results of each research study will be opened publicly.
• In addition, Asia CCUS Network continues to organize theknowledge sharing conference and capacity building training forincreasing correct understanding of CCS/CCUS development bothtechnically and economically.
• Asia CCUS Network (ACN) will act as a platform regarding
CCS/CCUS development and deployment in Asia region.
