Indonesia’s Green Steel Transition Accelerates, Unlocking High-Growth Investment Opportunities
Indonesia’s steel industry is making strong progress towards greener production, driven by rising global demand for low-emission materials.
Strong Support Fuels Sustainable Shift in Indonesia’s Steel Sector
Local companies are committed to adopting cleaner technologies, with support from the Indonesian Iron and Steel Industry Association. This shift shows growing momentum within the steel industry to move towards more sustainable practices.
The government is also backing this transition through cooperation with the World Bank, focusing on building infrastructure for green industrial development. These efforts are expected to modernise the steel industry and improve long-term competitiveness.
Turning Emissions into Value: Indonesia’s CCU Progress
One key development is the use of Carbon Capture Utilisation (CCU) technology. This method not only reduces emissions but also converts them into useful products like soda ash and baking soda. Trials at PT Petrokimia Gresik have shown strong results, with emissions reduced by up to 94% in recent tests.
With proven technology and strong industry support, Indonesia is well positioned to accelerate its green shift and strengthen the future of its steel industry.
