Abstract: Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has not been considered a competitive greenhouse gas mitigation technology in Thailand causing the lack of resources and incentives to promote its development and deployment. In this research, the critical barriers preventing the deployment of CCS technology at the Thai petroleum refinery is identified. The barriers are organised using the technological-organisational-environmental (TOE) framework and the risks associated with them are assessed using failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA). The findings show the lack of capacities in the organisation and the lack of support from the government, more than the technical concerns that are preventing the deployment of the CCS technology at the Thai petroleum refinery. The outcome of this study is a roadmap with short, medium and long-term action plans, and suggestions of strategies and policies to overcome the critical barriers and improve the Thai petroleum refinery's readiness for the deployment of the CCS technology.
