PETROKIMIA GRESIK UNVEILS 2024-2030 ENERGY TRANSITION PROGRAM AT COP29 INTERNATIONAL FORUM

The company's 2024 energy transition initiatives include converting the energy source for the Furnace and Burner System of the Phonska V Plant from coal to natural gas. Additionally, the company is increasing the use of electric vehicles, with 180 electric motorcycles and eight electric cars, supported by dedicated charging facilities. This year, the company also introduced two electric forklifts and one electric wheel loader. These efforts are projected to reduce emissions by 22%.

Meanwhile, Petrokimia Gresik has also outlined its Decarbonization Roadmap for 2025-2030. This includes transitioning the energy source of the Furnace at the Phonska IV Plant from coal to natural gas, switching from fuel oil to gas for heating processes in the Sulfuric Acid II Plant, co-firing with biomass, developing a Hybrid Green Ammonia Plant, Soda Ash Plant, and other initiatives.

"These decarbonization initiatives ensure that Petrokimia Gresik upholds the principles of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in its operations while maintaining compliance with emission regulations," added Dwi Satriyo.

He emphasized that the consistent decarbonization efforts from 2025-2030 will deliver significant results, with emissions expected to decrease by approximately 31.89%. The decarbonization efforts will continue to be implemented to achieve the 2060 target of producing only 41,000 tons of carbon emissions, well below the NZE program's maximum target of 132,000 tons.
