Executive Director Foreword

Executive Director of Indonesia CCS Center Dr. Belladonna Troxylon Maulianda, Phd, P.Eng

Building on the success of our inaugural event in 2023, we are dedicated to advancing the International and Indonesian CCS Forum with more dynamic and enriching discussions that foster the exchange of knowledge, ideas and experiences in the important field of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). It is my pleasure to welcome all participants, experts, and enthusiasts as we embark on the journey of the 2nd International and Indonesia CCS Forum, scheduled to take place on July 31 – August 1, 2024, at the Jakarta Convention Center.

The Indonesia CCS Center is proud to once again bring together a diverse community of professionals in engineering, science, policy, and business, all bound by a shared commitment to addressing the challenges posed by CO2 emissions. As an enabler in the CCS value chain, Indonesia CCS Center is confident that this gathering will generate innovative solutions to accelerate CCS deployment in Indonesia. Additionally, the event aims to raise public awareness and enhance understanding of CCS, with the belief of garnering widespread support for its deployment in Indonesia.

As we gather under the theme of the 2nd International and Indonesia CCS Forum 2024, we aim to underscore the critical importance of responsible management within the CCS industry. Our collective efforts are geared towards shaping a clearer, more structured CCS future that not only mitigates environmental impact but also contributes positively to economic growth, particularly in Indonesia.

Reflecting on our shared aspirations for the continued advancement of the CCS industry, we extend an earnest invitation to all CCS stakeholders to actively participate in and enrich the discussions at this significant event. Your presence and contributions are crucial, as we believe this forum will serve as a catalyst for positive outcomes, marking yet another milestone in the progression of the CCS industry in Indonesia.

We look forward to your enthusiastic involvement and expect that the 2nd International and Indonesia CCS Forum will not only surpass the successes of its predecessor but also serve as a key driver for sustainable development and innovation in the field of Carbon Capture and Storage. Thank you for your continued support, and we eagerly await your presence at this momentous event.
