Asia-Pacific is moving from decarbonisation ambition towards project implementation. Malaysia’s Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage Act 2025 is now in force, providing a legal foundation for the development of CCUS projects, carbon storage services and regional CO₂ value chains.
Taking place in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday 24th November 2026, the APAC CCUS & Hydrogen Decarbonisation Summit will bring together more than 250 government officials, regulators, industrial emitters, energy companies, project developers, ports, shipping operators, investors and technology providers.
Across two days, participants will examine the policies and commercial models needed to accelerate CCUS and low-carbon hydrogen across Asia-Pacific. Discussions will cover project financing and final investment decisions, industrial carbon capture, cross-border CO₂ transportation, shipping and storage networks, hydrogen and ammonia production, industrial offtake, port infrastructure and supply-chain readiness.
With Malaysia positioning itself as a regional CCUS hub, the summit will provide a platform for stakeholders from Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, Taiwan and the wider region to form partnerships, share project experience and develop investable routes to deployment.

Sessions One and Two

This session will bring together senior government officials to outline national decarbonisation strategies, policy priorities and pathways towards achieving net-zero ambitions. International experts will also share global best practices, project case studies and lessons from more established markets, providing practical insights into how the Asia-Pacific region can accelerate investment, project deployment and its transition to a low-carbon economy.

Sessions Three and Four

CCUS will play an important role in reducing emissions from power generation and hard-to-abate industries where alternative decarbonisation solutions remain limited. This session will examine how government policy, regulatory certainty and financial support can help accelerate investment and move projects towards final investment decisions. Industrial operators, project developers and technology providers will discuss the commercial, technical and infrastructure challenges affecting deployment, while sharing practical insights into how CCUS can be integrated into energy-intensive operations and delivered at scale.
