Indonesia's great CCS opportunity
  • Indonesia is strongly positioned to become a major player in the fast-growing carbon storage sector.
  • Indonesia has the key combination of substantial CO2 storage potential and the expertise to take advantage of it.
  • Heavy industry and energy are important sectors to support Indonesia’s growth and CCS can help them both reduce emissions.
India: The next global manufacturing hub for energy equipment?
  • India is emerging as a new, preferred destination for making our energy equipment.
  • We’re boosting demand for Indian products, services, skilled engineers, and semi-skilled labor.
  • Our initiative could speed up India’s integration into the global value chain for energy infrastructure.
Fueling the future: Explore our lower emission fueling options for commercial fleets
  • Liquid fuels are projected to remain essential for decades to come.
  • Renewable diesel offers fleets viable options for emissions reduction on a lifecycle basis.
  • We market fuel additives and lower GHG-emission fuels around the globe.
Doing more with less: recycling plastic in India
  • India generates nearly 26,000 metric tons of plastic waste daily, but the country is working to improve its recycling rate.
  • At our technology lab in Bengaluru, we’re developing plastics for packaging applications that can be easier to recycle.*
  • Our lab also designs plastic-packaging solutions that can be made using fewer materials.
Building Malaysia’s next generation of STEM talents
  • We’re helping to develop the next generation of STEM professionals in Malaysia.
  • Our community and education programs have evolved as Malaysia’s needs change.
  • We have a long-term view towards supporting, developing and advancing the country’s technical capabilities.

Meet the people making hydrogen and ammonia happen

  • Hydrogen is expected to meet 10% of global energy needs by 2050.
  • Water vapor is the only byproduct of using hydrogen as fuel or feedstock.
  • Hydrogen can be transformed into ammonia, a low-carbon fuel for heavy industry and key ingredient in fertilizers.

LNG to power commercial trucks in India? An idea whose time has come

Key takeaways: 

  • Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a lower-emission fuel for heavy-duty commercial trucks.
  • A broader LNG switch can also help lower India’s oil-import bill.
  • Incentives such as tax cuts and priority lanes for LNG trucks could enable faster adoption of this fuel.
How Malaysia can lead the way in CCS

Key takeaways:

  • Malaysia already has the infrastructure and storage space to make CCS possible.
  • CCS has the potential to be a new revenue stream for Malaysia’s economy.
  • We support CCS developments in Malaysia and the Asia Pacific region.
Scale, storage and skills: Indonesia’s CCS difference

Key takeaways:

  • Indonesia has the right geology to permanently store captured carbon emissions.
  • Our scale and footprint across Asia Pacific allow us to collaborate across borders.
  • CCS can be supported with existing infrastructure.
What could an Indonesian CCS hub look like?

Key takeaways:

  • Indonesia is evaluating a major potential carbon capture and storage (CCS) hub.
  • The hub could store approximately 3 metric gigatons of CO2
  • Indonesia is working with Singapore to develop a potential CCS value chain in Asia Pacific.
Unlocking Asia Pacific’s CCS potential

Key takeaways:

  • Carbon capture and storage (CCS) can help reduce CO2 emissions for hard to decarbonize industries.
  • Asia Pacific is well placed for the development of a CCS industry. 
  • Collaboration is key to developing cross-border emission-reduction solutions like CCS.
