South-East Asia’s role as a Global CDR supply hub

Durable carbon removal will need supply from regions with large volumes of biomass residues, available land and competitive project costs. South-East Asia has all three, with residues from rice, pulp and paper, and timber processing that can be turned into biochar and other durable removals.

The question for the region is less whether it can supply, and more how governments set the terms. This session looks at CDR supply from the host-country side: what Indonesia and Malaysia want from it, which tools they are using, and what they need from buyers and the market.
