Unlocking the CCS Value Chain: Business Models for a Regional CO₂ Market 

Date: 20 May 2026
Time: 15:00 – 16:30
Venue: SBF Center

Asia Pacific is entering a decisive period on the road to 2030. Across the region, leaders are looking for solutions that combine innovation with purposeful collaboration in order to deliver real progress on industrial decarbonisation. Carbon Capture and Storage is one of the strategic tools that can support this shift, but many organisations still face uncertainty about how to build commercially viable projects and how to engage in a regional CO2 market that connects multiple countries.

This session examines the commercial, regulatory and organisational conditions that shape successful CCS development. It will explore how companies can create workable value chain arrangements, build trusted partnerships, engage effectively with governments and navigate the complexity of moving CO2 across borders when emitters and storage providers are located in different places. The discussion will highlight how new business models and coordinated regional design can turn ambition into practical action and help the region progress with purpose toward its 2030 goals.

To anchor the conversation in current regional activity, the session aims to feature speakers involved in emerging collaborative initiatives across Asia Pacific, including multi-party studies and industry led efforts to evaluate shared infrastructure and hub concepts. These contributors will provide insight into how such initiatives are shaping understanding of regional needs, revealing early lessons, building alignment and helping to define what a connected CO2 market could look like in practice.
