Asia Carbon Capture 2026 is HRD Corp claimable under the Skim Bantuan Latihan (SBL). We encourage companies registered under the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF) to join this event! Please email bindar@ipa.com.my for assistance.

The carbon capture and storage (CCS) industry in Asia Pacific is on the path for significant expansion, with cumulative investment across capture, transport and storage projected to reach US$622 billion by 2050, according to Wood Mackenzie. As Asia accelerates its path toward net-zero emissions, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is emerging as a cornerstone of the region’s industrial decarbonization strategy.

Petronas and partners step up pace on carbon capture project. Joint venture awarded Malaysia’s first offshore assessment permit for carbon capture and storage.

Plans are moving ahead to create carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) hubs across Asia, with some of the region’s largest industrial players joining forces in a landmark study that could see captured carbon shipped to Australia for long-term storage.
