Asia - the next stop for CCUS financing efforts
There is a high-potential market and opportunity for development of CCUS in Asia . While learnings from the business models in US and Europe could be applied to Asia , what can be learned from the energy transition initiatives ( e . g . rapid solar and wind power developments ) implemented in Asia , is that the region does not need to just replicate what is being done elsewhere .
Instead , it is important to be aware of the lessons learned and adapt accordingly in order to progress more quickly . With a new energy and infrastructure system under construction in this region , there is the opportunity for Asia to match or exceed the progress currently being made in CCUS in Europe , in order to create a truly decarbonised economy for the region .
