Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a technology for capturing carbon emissions produced by industries and fossil fuel power plants.

After capture, these emissions are permanently stored underground by injecting them into depleted oil and gas wells or rock formations 2-3 kilometers below the earth's surface.

This prevents carbon emissions from industries and fossil fuel power plants from polluting the air, thus not increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that trigger climate change.

Indonesia is one of the few countries with the potential to become a location for emission storage through the CCS scheme.

According to data from the Global CCS Institute, in 2020 Indonesia had depleted oil and gas wells capable of storing up to 13 billion tons of CO2 emissions.

This makes Indonesia the 5th largest potential CCS location in the world, after the United States, Australia, Norway, and Malaysia.

The Global CCS Institute also revealed that Indonesia has the potential to store carbon emissions produced by other countries.

"Singapore, South Korea and Japan are considering options for exporting CO2 for storage in other countries with very large storage resources such as Australia, Malaysia and Indonesia," they stated in the Global Status Report 2024.

However, as of 2024, Indonesia does not yet have any operational CCS facilities.
