Advisor Foreword

Advisor of Indonesia CCS Center Jodi Mahardi

Remembering the Net Zero Emission target by 2060, the Indonesian government is encouraged to reduce CO2 emissions in the oil and gas sector and industries that are hard to abate. The most effective technology to achieve that goal is Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). In accelerating the implementation of CCS, contributions are needed between relevant ministries and the CCS value chain industry from upstream to downstream. Indonesia CCS Center is present as a community that accommodates experts to find effective solutions to the challenges posed by CO2 emissions.

Indonesia CCS Center will organize the International and Indonesia CCS Forum 2023 a forum and exhibition by government agencies, academics, and CCS industry players. The event is expected to generate good synergy for CCS development globally regarding regulations, investors, and infrastructure. In achieving the goal of this event, participation and support from various parties are needed.

Therefore, as the advisor of the Indonesia CCS Center, I invite all CCS industry players to participate in International and Indonesia CCS Forum 2023 will be held on 11-12 September 2023 at Hotel Mulia Jakarta. This event is not just a discussion but also a starting point for long-term investment in the low-carbon industry in the future. Indonesia has a great potential to become a CCS Hub in the Asean Region so this investment will generate a multiplier effect for the country in terms of economic growth and sustainability.

Sincerely,

Jodi Mahardi
Advisor of Indonesia CCS Center
