- Potential growth of CCS is continuously in development, with more business opportunities across the whole Malaysian oil & gas value chain
- Malaysia has the potential to champion CCS in the region, due to its strategic location within the significant seaborne energy trade route in the East Asia region and within the buffer zone of the Pacific Ring of Fire.
- Cross industry collaboration is important for a safe CCS deployment, with high reliability and efficiency
- Government and the industry needs to work on a pragmatic policy framework of CCS to ensure seamlessly implementation that could be part of the new economic growth for Malaysia.
