[C-Suite Vision] The FID Moment: Unlocking and Leading Japan & APAC’s Next Wave of CCS

Which CCS projects in Japan and across APAC are progressing toward FID, and what key conditions still need to be met?
What are the most critical enablers—policy clarity, cost reduction, infrastructure readiness, or commercial structures—that will support FID decisions?
How are project stakeholders working together to reduce uncertainty and improve confidence in early-stage CCS developments?
What are the key risks—technical, regulatory, and commercial—that still need to be addressed before projects can move forward?
Looking ahead, how will today’s early FID decisions help define scalable CCS pathways for Japan and the wider region?

[Executive Panel] CCS under GX ETS: How Industrial Leaders Are Positioning for the Next Phase of Decarbonization

Under GX ETS, how are industrial emitters balancing short-term compliance with long-term CCS investment decisions?
What will determine whether and when companies commit to CCS—cost visibility, policy certainty, or access to infrastructure?
How do carbon pricing signals under GX ETS compare with the cost of CCS, and how are companies evaluating this trade-off?
How are companies managing risk and uncertainty—through phased investments, partnerships, or waiting strategies—under evolving policy and market conditions?
How are companies positioning today to participate in future CCS hubs and networks in Japan and across APAC?
