Abstract

East Javas petrochemical sector contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide (CO). The possibility for deploying Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology within this industry needs to be thoroughly evaluated in order to address these emissions and help Indonesias commitments to lowering its carbon footprint. The purpose of this study is to map the potential of CCS in East Javas petrochemical industry by evaluating the opportunities, difficulties, and viability of its deployment.
Industry papers, government publications, and scholarly research were among the main and secondary sources from which data for this study were gathered. To obtain thorough information, we assessed the sites and spoke with important stakeholders via surveys and interviews. The studys main objectives were to map potential geological storage locations in East Java, assess current CCS technology, and identify the main sources of CO2 emissions.
Our research suggests that the petrochemical sector in East Java offers a large number of prospects for CCS. Numerous sites with high emissions have the infrastructure required to enable carbon capture procedures. Furthermore, the geological formations of East Java offer viable choices for the storage of CO2 multiple sites have been discovered that have high storage capacity and stability.
The report does, however, also draw attention to a number of difficulties, such as the need for technology developments, regulatory obstacles, and high initial implementation costs. Engaging stakeholders and raising public awareness are essential to the effective implementation of CCS technologies. To address these issues and speed up the regions adoption of CCS, policy suggestions and strategic actions are put forth.
Finally, a mapping of the potential of CCS in the petrochemical industry of East Java indicates both noteworthy problems and considerable prospects. Coordinated efforts by the government, business community, and academic institutions to address these problems can help Indonesia achieve its larger climate goals and open the door for sustainable carbon management.
