In Japan, Marubeni Corporation and Japan Petroleum Exploration Co., Ltd. have entered into a joint study agreement with PT Pertamina, an Indonesian state-owned enterprise engaged in integrated energy, and its subsidiary PT Pertamina Hulu Energi to conduct a feasibility assessment on BECCS at a pulp mill and nearby oil field area in South Sumatra Province, Indonesia.
The study will evaluate the feasibility of implementing BECCS by capturing CO2 emitted from biomass-fueled boilers for self-power generation at the pulp mill operated by PT. Tanjungenim Lestari Pulp and Paper, a Marubeni subsidiary in Indonesia. The captured CO2 would be injected and stored into synclinal aquifers in the northern Limau oil field, operated by the Pertamina group near the TEL factory. Through this study, the parties aim to commence operations by 2030.
