Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 PT Pupuk Indonesia has pledged to support the\ndevelopment of decarbonisation technology as part of the transformation\ntowards a more sustainable fertiliser industry.<\/p>\n
Pupuk Indonesia President Director Rahmad Pribadi expressed his\nappreciation to the Ministry of Industry for its support and guidance in\ndeveloping Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technology.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are committed to continuing to support decarbonisation efforts as\ndirected and instructed by the Ministry of Industry,\u201d he said in a\nstatement in Jakarta on Saturday.<\/p>\n
According to Rahmad, the results of the pilot project at Petrokimia\nGresik have demonstrated proof of concept, opening the way for the\ntechnology to be developed on a commercial scale.<\/p>\n
Any move towards commercial-scale deployment, he said, would take\ninto account the results of technology evaluations and economic\nfeasibility, to ensure the application delivers optimal benefits to\nindustry.<\/p>\n
Previously, Minister of Industry Muhammad Sarmuji said PT Petrokimia\nGresik (Persero), an agro-industry solutions company and member of the\nPT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero) holding, had the potential to make history\nas a pioneer in applying CCU technology in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
The project is a collaboration between the Ministry of Industry,\nPupuk Indonesia, Petrokimia Gresik and UWin Resources Regeneration\nInc.\u00a0It forms part of efforts to develop emissions-reduction technology\nwhile creating opportunities to increase economic value by utilising\ncarbon produced by industrial processes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe CCU pilot project at Petrokimia Gresik is an important step in\ndeveloping the national green industry,\u201d he said while reviewing the\nproject\u2019s progress in Gresik, East Java, on Friday (16 October).<\/p>\n
He said the technology\u2019s development was expected to create\nopportunities for wider application in other industrial sectors.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis will make history for Petrokimia Gresik as an industry pioneer\nin applying Carbon Capture and Utilisation. We will promote it more\nwidely because this pilot project delivers significant benefits,\u201d\nSarmuji said.<\/p>\n
Petrokimia Gresik President Director Daconi Khotob said the company\u2019s\ninvolvement in the CCU pilot project was in line with the sustainability\ninitiatives it had already undertaken.<\/p>\n
He said environmentally friendly industrial development needed to be\nsupported by innovation and continuous improvements in efficiency.<\/p>\n
\u201cPetrokimia Gresik is committed to applying sustainability principles\nin its operations through efficiency, innovation and environmental\nmanagement,\u201d he said, adding that this commitment was reflected in the\ncompany hosting the CCU pilot project with the Ministry of Industry and\nUWin.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope this collaboration will also help foster a more\nenvironmentally friendly and competitive national industry,\u201d Daconi\nsaid.<\/p>\n
As a practical demonstration of this commitment, Petrokimia Gresik\nhas a decarbonisation roadmap to support Indonesia\u2019s Enhanced Nationally\nDetermined Contribution (ENDC) target for 2030 and its net-zero\nemissions (NZE) goal for 2060.<\/p>\n
By 2025, the company had recorded greenhouse gas emissions reductions\nof nearly 400,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO\u2082e) through\nvarious decarbonisation programmes.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pupuk-indonesia-pledges-support-for-the-development-of-decarbonisation-technology-1792209043", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
