<![CDATA[Indonesia is committed to the global initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with the target of achieving Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2060. This reduction can be achieved through the application of CCS and CCUS technologies. CCUS technology utilizes CO₂ to enhance oil and gas production through Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) or Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR) methods, while CCS functions to capture, transport, and securely store CO₂ in geological formations. On the other hand, Indonesia requires a consistent and affordable energy supply to support the achievement of NZE while maintaining economic growth. The government has set ambitious oil and gas production targets to safeguard economic stability. Therefore, CCS/CCUS technologies represent one of the most viable technical solutions to balance environmental needs with economic conditions. However, the implementation and commercialization of CCS/CCUS in Indonesia still face significant challenges. This study identifies several structural factors that influence CCS/CCUS policy implementation. Through structural modeling, we have identified CCS/CCUS variables with significant driving power and dependency power. The final modeling results indicate that the acceleration of CCS/CCUS implementation largely depends on the availability of storage capacity information and technological readiness. Based on these findings, we recommend that the Indonesian government adopt appropriate policies using a risk-managed approach in the development of CCS/CCUS.]]>
