Workshop on Carbon Pricing Policies for Brunei Darussalam
The ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE), the Brunei Climate Change Secretariat (BCCS) and the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS), Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) collaborated in organising a workshop on September 22nd, 2021 to increase understanding and technical capacities on carbon pricing policies. This workshop aims to support establishment of best suited model for Brunei Darussalam to ensure that carbon pricing could be effectively and timely implemented in 2025, given that Strategy 6 of the Brunei Darussalam National Climate Change Policy (BNCCP) outlined carbon pricing as one of the key instruments that could advance and accelerate low carbon transition for Brunei Darussalam. This initiative is also supported by the ASEAN Climate Change and Energy Project (ACCEPT).

Role of Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) in Low-Carbon Development in ASEAN
To advance Southeast Asia’s efforts in transitioning its energy system to the cleaner version through its energy blueprint, the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC), ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) developed an initiative to carry out one of the APAEC’s action plans, which is to promote the role of Clean Coal Technology (CCT) and the Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) towards the energy transition and low carbon economy. As part of this initiative, ACE organised a public webinar on 13 August 2021, focusing on the Role of CCUS in Low-Carbon Development in ASEAN. The objectives of the webinar are to increase the awareness of CCUS roles in developing low-emission energy development in ASEAN and promoting low-carbon development energy innovations.
