Industry experts told CNA that a large part of Pengerang in Johor is undeveloped land and that this could soon change in the short term given the area’s possible inclusion as part of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone. The vast amount of land space in Pengerang could serve as a hinterland for the expansion of oil and gas companies from Singapore while the possible revival of a renewable solar energy farm project may have the potential to increase collaboration between Malaysia and Singapore.

𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐨𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐤 𝐎𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 Johor seeks to collaborate with Sarawak on renewable energy initiatives, particularly focusing on hydrogen. The Chairman of the Johor Sustainability Centre announced that Johor Menteri Besar Dato Onn Hafiz Ghazi will be leading a delegation on a working visit to Sarawak by the end of the month to explore partnership opportunities. The state government's strategy includes forming collaborations with both the private and public sectors to strengthen the renewable energy sector. Sarawak, which is developing hydrogen as a renewable energy source, presents an ideal partner for Johor in this endeavor. Close cooperation between the two state governments is essential for gaining a better understanding of hydrogen technology as a renewable energy source. Sarawak recently introduced an energy transition policy, SET-P, to promote renewable energy sources and technology for a clean and sustainable future. The collaboration with South Korea, which includes a grant for developing the Sarawak Hydrogen Roadmap, demonstrates a commitment to decarbonization and sustainability. This collaboration aims at producing hydrogen in Sarawak for export to South Korea, contributing to economic growth, job creation, and environmental stewardship. The Sarawak Hydrogen Roadmap will serve as a blueprint for harnessing the potential of hydrogen energy in the state, covering technological advancements, infrastructure development, and regulatory frameworks. By working together, both states can achieve economic growth while contributing to global sustainability goals. Investing in collaborations like these will not only add value to progress in key sectors but also spark an economic phenomenon aligned with current developments. #InvestJohor #MajuJohor #Johor #Investment #MajuJohor2030 #JSSEZ.

On 24 November, President Joko Widodo kicked off Indonesia’s first #carbon storage project, the Ubadari carbon capture, utilization, and storage (#CCUS) project. The Ubadari CCUS kickoff followed the inauguration of bp's Tangguh Train III, completed last month for USD 4.8 billion, and has made Tangguh the largest gas-producing facility in Indonesia. Here’s a summary of key details: 📍 Location: Bintuni, West Papua - as one of fifteen Indonesian CCS/CCUS projects in various stages of development, with a combined investment of USD 8 billion 💵 Investment: bp is set to operate the project with an investment of USD 2.6 billion, per an energy ministry statement last September. This figure is yet to be confirmed by the company 🌱 Potential: The facility will potentially store up to 1.8 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent, equal to the yearly emissions of roughly 380 million passenger cars (per my rough estimation based on Spring Free EV data). Carbon injection to the plant is set to start in 2026 🍲 Food for thought: The International Energy Agency (IEA) has reported "excessive expectations and reliance on CCUS," in a recent report on the role of oil and gas companies in the #netzero transition. Companies will need to cut their own emissions, diversify, and scale up other decarbonizing technologies for the sector to further accelerate the transition We await further developments

Singapore is the first country to store carbon in Indonesia 🔷 Carbon capture and storage in Indonesia is witnessing new developments, as the Asian country has begun its first cooperation with its neighbor Singapore in this field, as part of Jakarta’s move towards allocating areas in its territory for carbon capture and storage by other countries. 🔷 Singapore and Indonesia signed a letter of intent to cooperate in the field of cross-border carbon capture and storage 🔷 This comes after a presidential regulation on carbon capture and storage was issued in Indonesia, allowing companies working in this field to allocate 30% of their carbon dioxide storage capacity from international sources. 🔷 Globally, there are about 40 commercial carbon capture and storage facilities in operation around the world, with a total capacity of more than 45 million tons per year of carbon dioxide, according to the International Energy Agency. 🔷 Oil and gas drilling and exploration companies can tap depleted reservoirs or aquifers in their areas for carbon capture and storage operations in Indonesia that can store more than 400 GWt of CO2 equivalent. 🔷 Indonesia has significant CO2 storage potential, estimated at up to 600 billion tons in depleted oil and gas reservoirs or aquifers. 🔷 Jakarta is intensifying its efforts to further cooperate with international partners, in order to expand carbon capture and storage projects in Indonesia. #energyticslimited #renerableenergy #energyefficiency #energyinnovation #storecarbon #carboncapture

The Spring semester was exciting in the Climate Finance and Sustainable Development class: As part of our coursework, under the guidance of Professor Satyajit Bose, my team members Mores Longsomboon, Moyra Rahmadanty, and I have been engaged in an in-depth analysis of the early retirement of the Cirebon 2 CFPP in Indonesia, focusing on transitioning to geothermal energy. Our study highlighted the significant financial and technical challenges involved in replacing coal with renewable energy. By considering the transitioning carbon credit price of $13.50 per tCO2e, our study supports the economic viability of such transitions. This price adjustment aids in facilitating the shift towards geothermal energy, which, despite its great potential, faces substantial engineering and financial obstacles. The complexities of geothermal exploration, including drilling and resource assessment, require detailed planning and substantial investment. The findings from our project emphasize the need for strategic financial planning to effectively navigate these challenges. We, as a team, hope that numerous individuals in emerging markets, particularly Indonesia, will find the findings from our project highly relevant and beneficial for shaping their climate strategies. As the world moves towards sustainable energy solutions, the findings from our research could help inform similar transitions in other regions. Feel free to contact us for more details on our findings or to engage in discussions about sustainable energy transitions. Together, we can contribute to a sustainable energy future. #ClimateFinance #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #CarbonPricing

Good news: PT Wohlrab Indonesia is now one of the first companies in Batamindo Industrial Park to have solar panels in the entire factory roof area. The installation of a 370kWp solar system, completed in August, contributes to our sustainability goal of consistently increasing the proportion of renewable energy in our processes. As a positive side effect, the panels also act as natural shading to reduce the roof's heat load and, consequently, the power consumption for the aircon in our factory. Reducing the carbon footprint in manufacturing is a challenge, but we are ready to take this path! 💪 🌏 #sustainability #CSR #engineering #coating #tailoredcoating
