“…Since Malaysia has not yet regulated CCS implementation in its national regulatory setting, the cost model does not take into consideration the value of incentives and credits that could be obtained for CO 2 storage, which would be a potentially added economic benefit to offset cost framework [30,31]. In this study, the economic analysis evaluates a CCS project's impact by evaluating its costs and benefits to the overall economy.…”

Growing concern on global warming directly related to CO2 emissions is steering the implementation of carbon capture and storage (CCS). With Malaysia having an estimated 37 Tscfd (Trillion standard cubic feet) of natural gas remains undeveloped in CO2 containing natural gas fields, there is a need to assess the viability of CCS implementation. This study performs a techno-economic analysis for CCS at an offshore natural gas field in Malaysia. The framework includes a gas field model, revenue model, and cost model. A techno-economic spreadsheet consisting of Net Present Value (NPV), Payback Period (PBP), and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is developed over the gas field’s production life of 15 years for four distinctive CO2 capture technologies, which are membrane, chemical absorption, physical absorption, and cryogenics. Results predict that physical absorption solvent (Selexol) as CO2 capture technology is most feasible with IRR of 15% and PBP of 7.94 years. The output from the techno-economic model and associated risks of the CCS project are quantified by employing sensitivity analysis (SA), which indicated that the project NPV is exceptionally sensitive to gas price. On this basis, the economic performance of the project is reliant on revenues from gas sales, which is dictated by gas market price uncertainties.

“…One group comprising 18 papers (10%) explored the role of CCS for individual countries based on frameworks, such as Lai et al [194] (d = 431), who applied a technology assessment framework consisting of several assessment dimensions to CCS in Malaysia; Meng [195] (d = 320), who explored challenges and policy choices for CCS in China by comparing CCS with renewable energy using four assessment criteria; and Middleton et al [76] (d = 147), who developed a spatial decision support system for minimising the cost of the CCS chain in California.…”

For many years, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been discussed as a technology that may make a significant contribution to achieving major reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. At present, however, only two large-scale power plants capture a total of 2.4 Mt CO 2 /a. Several reasons are identified for this mismatch between expectations and realised deployment. Applying bibliographic coupling, the research front of CCS, understood to be published peer-reviewed papers, is explored to scrutinise whether the current research is sufficient to meet these problems. The analysis reveals that research is dominated by technical research (69%). Only 31% of papers address non-technical issues, particularly exploring public perception, policy, and regulation, providing a broader view on CCS implementation on the regional or national level, or using assessment frameworks. This shows that the research is advancing and attempting to meet the outlined problems, which are mainly non-technology related. In addition to strengthening this research, the proportion of papers that adopt a holistic approach may be increased in a bid to meet the challenges involved in transforming a complex energy system. It may also be useful to include a broad variety of stakeholders in research so as to provide a more resilient development of CCS deployment strategies.

“…If the reservoir contains wet gas, then CO 2 injection can lead to condensate recovery. Incremental gas or condensate recovery by CO 2 injection is known as CO 2 -enhanced gas recovery (CO 2 -EGR). − Traditional CO 2 -EGR can be redesigned for both incremental gas recovery and CO 2 storage . The third type of subsurface reservoir for CO 2 storage is saline aquifers. , If a saline aquifer has adequate sealing properties to prevent the injected CO 2 from leaking out, it can act as a reservoir for permanent CO 2 storage.…”

About 26% of global CO2 emissions came from coal-fired power plants (CP) in 2021. Furthermore, 72% of this came from Asian countries, especially China and India. Therefore, reducing CO2 emission from CPs is a must if Asian countries were to achieve net-zero CO2 emission by 2050 or soon afterward. In this study, we evaluate the potential contribution of carbon capture and storage (CCS) to decarbonize CPs in selected Asian countries. Our study area consists of the east coast of China, India, Sumatra, West Java and Kalimantan of Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam, and Thailand which contains one-quarter of the global CP capacity. We screen all existing CPs in the study area for CCS retrofit readiness, considering the size and age of CPs, the CO2 transportation distance, and the storage capacity of nearby oil and gas reservoirs and saline aquifers. Analyses show that out of 520 CPs in the study area, 305 (59%) pass the screening criteria for CCS-retrofitting. If fully implemented at a 90% CO2 capture rate, CCS retrofitting will result in the abatement of 1.55 Gtpa of CO2, equal to 65% of CO2 emission from CPs in the study area and 16% of global CO2 emission from CPs. Furthermore, retrofitting CPs with CCS has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by 18% for Malaysia, 26% for India, and 26% for Vietnam. However, the biggest CO2 abatement will be realized in India (715 Mtpa) and China (636 Mtpa). These results quantify the potential contribution of CCS in decarbonizing CPs in Asia. Policy implications to accelerate CCS implementation based on our findings are also discussed.
