Abbreviations Aboutthebooklet AsEANccs/ccusInsightsis a semi-annual publicationproduced bythe Fossil Fuel,Hydrocarbon,and Minerals (FOM)Department of the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE). The digest tracks key policy, regulatory, technological, and commercialAsEAN to provide timely insights into the region's evolving carbon management landscape. The publication aims to monitor, document, and recognise progress in the development of CCU/S policies, regulations, andprojects throughout AsEAN. Given that CCU/S technologies remain at an early stage of deployment in the region, the bookletpolicymakers, industry stakeholders, researchers, and members of the public interested in understanding the latestdevelopments in CCU/S. The information presented also supports policy and regulatory analyses undertaken in other AcEreports, studies, and policy briefs. Previously, the publication was issued under the title AsEAN Ccs Updates, whichhas been published since 2024. Readers are encouraged to explore previouseditions to gain a comprehensive understanding of the progress and developmentsof CCS/CCUS initiatives across the ASEAN region.

Indonesia accelerated preparations for full carbonmarket operation through the implementation ofSRUK and national carbon trading regulations. At thesame time,Malaysia advanced the National ClimateChange Bill (RUU PIN), carbon taxation, and plans fora future ETS. Thailand's Draft Climate Change Actsimilarly combines mandatory MRV requirementswith carbon taxation and the proposed ThailandEmissions Trading System (TH-ETS). Political and industry support for CCS continued to strengthen across ASEANduring the first half of 2026, but this was accompanied by increasing scrutinyregarding project viability and climate effectiveness.In Indonesia,policymakersand legislators questioned whether announced Ccs projects would delivermeasurable emissions reductions and cautioned against relying on Ccs as asubstitute for renewable energy deployment. Similar concerns emerged aroundcarbon market credibility, MRV systems, and regulatory certainty. As CcS projectsmove closerto deployment,stakeholders are increasinglydemandingevidence ofcommercial viability,transparency,and verified emissions reductionsratherthanrelyingsolelyonannouncedcapacitiesorpartnershipagreements. Thailand spent the first half of 2026 layingthe institutional and technical foundationsfor its national Ccs framework throughCabinet-approved CCs guidelines and theUpper Gulf storage assessment programme.These measures are expected to support thedevelopment of future ccs legislation, whilelarge-scaleCO,storage deployment iscurrently targeted for the mid-2030s.

Singapore was identified by a studyas a key liquefied CO, handling hub on the proposed North Europe-Asia Occscorridor. At the same time, Malaysia's MisC secured a 10-year contract withNorthern Lights to supply a dedicated CO, carrier.
