        "summary": "Indonesia's state-owned mining holding company MIND ID has pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by two million tonnes of CO2 equivalent by 2030, even as its energy demand is projected to nearly double due to the government's mineral downstreaming push. The company plans to achieve this through measures including biodiesel adoption, electrification of mining equipment, and renewable energy expansion across its subsidiaries. The decarbonisation strategy is seen as crucial for maintaining the global competitiveness of Indonesian mineral products.",

Without intervention, emissions could\nrise about 2.1 times,\u201d Binahidra said.<\/p>\n<p>MIND ID projects group energy demand will increase from about 149,000\nterajoules in 2026 to 293,000 terajoules by 2030, an increase of more\nthan 90 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Without mitigation measures, greenhouse gas emissions are projected\nto climb from 6,100 kilotons of CO2e to 12,900 kilotons over the same\nperiod.<\/p>\n<p>The increase reflects major industrial projects, including mine\nexpansion in Kalimantan, an electric vehicle battery ecosystem in East\nHalmahera, aluminum expansion, new smelters and an undersea mining\nproject, he said.<\/p>\n<p>To curb emissions, MIND ID is increasing biodiesel use from B35 to\nB40, replacing high-speed diesel with liquefied natural gas, and\noptimizing electricity sourced from the state power grid.<\/p>\n<p>Binahidra said subsidiary PT Bukit Asam Tbk has cut emissions by\nabout 5,200 tons of CO2e annually by replacing fossil-fuel dump trucks\nwith electric bucket-wheel excavators at its Tanjung Enim mining\noperation.<\/p>\n<p>He added PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminum (INALUM) reduced emissions by\nabout 3,700 tons of CO2e after replacing high-speed diesel with\nliquefied natural gas at its baking plant, while improving energy\nefficiency.<\/p>\n<p>MIND ID is also expanding renewable energy use. PT Indonesia Chemical\nAlumina has introduced biomass co-firing using palm kernel shells,\nreducing emissions by about 560 tons of CO2e.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, PT Timah Tbk operates a 300-kilowatt-peak solar power\nplant that cuts emissions by about 300 tons of CO2e annually.<\/p>\n<p>The company is also developing carbon offset initiatives through\nnature-based solutions, renewable energy certificates and participation\nin carbon trading markets.<\/p>\n<p>Binahidra said decarbonization has become a key factor in improving\nthe global competitiveness of Indonesian mineral products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, all of our strategies must integrate environmental,\nsocial and governance principles into the company\u2019s operations,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Jakarta Earth Day lights-off campaign cuts 77 tons of\nCO2e<\/p>\n<p>Related news: RI completes REDD+ RBP 2014-2016, cutting 20.25M tons\nCO2e emissions<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Khaerul Izan, Yashinta Difa<\/p>",
