Abstract

This research explores the potential integration of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology in the mining sector of Dompu, West Nusa Tenggara, as part of a broader green economy transition. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, policy analysis, and secondary statistical sources. The findings indicate that although CCS has not yet been implemented locally, it presents a significant opportunity to reduce industrial emissions, especially when combined with renewable energy such as solar or geothermal. Economic modeling suggests that long-term cost efficiency is achievable through hybrid CCS-renewable systems, especially under supportive carbon pricing mechanisms. However, key challenges include limited geological assessments, regulatory gaps, high initial investment costs, and a lack of public awareness. The study concludes that CCS can serve as a strategic pathway for sustainable natural resource management in Dompu, provided that institutional, financial, and community-based frameworks are strengthened. Recommendations include initiating pilot projects, embedding CCS in regional development plans, and establishing public-private partnerships for climate innovation.
