Abstract: CCS/CCUS is considered vital for global climate mitigation, especially in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors like upstream oil and gas. In Indonesia, however, its deployment remains limited due to fragmented stakeholder views and lack of integrated policy support. This study explores multi-stakeholder perspectives, including government, academia, business, finance, media, and civil society, on the role and feasibility of CCS/CCUS in achieving the country’s net zero emissions (NZE) target. Using a mixed-method approach, we conducted structured surveys ( n = 39) and in-depth interviews ( n = 34). Findings reveal broad support for CCS/CCUS but highlight ongoing concerns about economic viability, regulatory uncertainty, and environmental risks. Stakeholders emphasize the need for stronger government incentives and cross-border financing mechanisms. The study underscores the importance of inclusive policymaking, enhanced fiscal support, and integration of CCS/CCUS into Indonesia’s carbon economic value framework to ensure a more participatory and sustainable climate policy pathway.
