        "summary": "The Indonesian Ministry of Industry has reported significant reductions in emissions from the cement sector as it progresses towards the 2050 net zero emission target, with the clinker factor dropping to 68.1% from 81% in 2010 and thermal substitution rate rising to 12.58% from 3%. Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita highlighted the strategic importance of the cement industry, Southeast Asia's largest producer with a capacity of 121.66 million tonnes annually, in national decarbonisation efforts, including the development of a structured roadmap focusing on emission reduction before neutralisation. Implementation strategies encompass five key pillars such as energy efficiency, fuel substitution, process renewal, electrification, and carbon capture technologies, supported by the Making Indonesia 4.0 roadmap and Green Industry Standards to enhance competitiveness and sustainability.",
        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Industry has recorded a decline in emissions in the\ncement industry in line with the net zero emission (NZE) target for the\nindustrial sector by 2050. \u201cWe are optimistic that the national\nindustry, particularly the cement sector, will be able to continue\nimproving efficiency while strengthening its competitiveness in the\nglobal market through the implementation of green industry principles,\u201d\nsaid Minister of Industry Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita in a written\nstatement on Tuesday, 21 April 2026. The Ministry of Industry has noted\na reduction in the clinker factor to 68.1% from a baseline of 81% in\n2010. In addition, the Ministry of Industry has recorded an increase in\nthe use of alternative energy or thermal substitution rate (TSR) to\n12.58% from the previous 3%. Specific emissions in the cement industry\nhave been reduced to 566.3 kilograms of CO2 per tonne of equivalent\ncement. This figure is lower than the initial condition of 724 kg of CO2\nper tonne of cement. Agus stated that the cement industry sector is one\nof the main focuses of the national decarbonisation agenda. This is\nbecause Indonesia, as the largest cement producer in Southeast Asia with\na capacity of 121.66 million tonnes per year, plays a strategic role in\nemission reduction efforts. To achieve emission reductions, Agus said\nthat the Ministry of Industry is preparing a decarbonisation roadmap for\nthe cement industry as a structured implementation guide. Broadly\nspeaking, the overall industrial decarbonisation strategy focuses on\nemission reduction efforts before entering the emission neutralisation\nstage. The Golkar politician assessed that emission reduction is more\neffective in gradually and sustainably suppressing the industry\u2019s carbon\nfootprint. Meanwhile, the Head of the Agency for Standards and\nIndustrial Services Policy, Emmy Suryandari, stated that the\nimplementation of the decarbonisation strategy is carried out through\nfive main pillars. These five pillars include energy and raw material\nefficiency through optimisation of the production process, followed by\nfuel and raw material substitution. In addition, decarbonisation efforts\nare carried out through process renewal using more efficient technology,\nelectrification, and the application of carbon capture utilisation (CCU)\ntechnology. To support industrial transformation, the Ministry of\nIndustry is using the Making Indonesia 4.0 roadmap and implementing\nGreen Industry Standards (SIH) to encourage efficiency, productivity,\nand sustainability.<\/p>",
