Summary/Abstract

This study analyzes the relevant policy for and legal barriers to developing the future opportunities for CCUS technologies in the Asia Pacific Region (APR), especially in the ASEAN countries. The paper suggests that a regional approach to developing CCUS implementation will play a significant role in achieving the global greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation commitments of ASEAN countries.
