To anticipate global warming, various countries have developed carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology.

CCS is a technology capable of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the combustion of fossil fuels in industries or power plants, so that its emissions do not pollute the atmosphere.

CCS technology can also store CO2 emissions underground by pumping it into depleted oil and gas wells, or injecting it into saline aquifers, underground rock formations capable of trapping CO2 to prevent it from escaping into the atmosphere.

According to the International Gas Union's (IGU) Gas Global Report 2022, there are various locations worldwide that can serve as CO2 emission storage sites, with a total potential capacity of approximately 22,900 gigatons.

Broken down by region, the largest CO2 emission storage sites using CCS technology are located in the United States (US), with a potential capacity of 12,177 gigatons.

The next largest storage sites are spread across Europe and Asia, with potential capacities as shown in the graph.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian government is currently preparing regulations regarding the implementation of CCS domestically.

According to Jodi Mahardi, Deputy for Maritime and Energy Sovereignty Coordination at the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment, the regulations will be released soon.

"The CCS Presidential Regulation should be coming out very soon, because all the stages of the process have been completed, (the target is) this month," said Jodi, as reported by Kompas.com, Tuesday (23/1/2024).
