SG, Indonesia ink LOI on carbon capture and storage collaboration

The two countries will work on a legally binding bilateral agreement.

Singapore and Indonesia signed a letter of intent (LOI) to collaborate on cross-border carbon capture and storage (CCS).

The collaboration follows Indonesia’s decision to regulate CCS by allowing CCS operators to set aside storage capacity for international carbon dioxide. 

CCS works by capturing, transporting, and storing carbon dioxide produced as a byproduct of activities such as power generation. It is a key decarbonisation pathway to achieve net zero emissions.

Under the LOI, a working group comprising Singapore and Indonesia government officials will work on a legally binding bilateral agreement enabling cross-border transport and storage of carbon dioxide between the two countries.

"With this LOI, Singapore and Indonesia can become the pathfinders to catalyse deployment of cross-border CCS projects in Southeast Asia,” Keith Tan, Deputy Secretary (Industry) of the Ministry of Trade and Industry Singapore, said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
