Siam City Cement Public Company Limited thailand

As the reality of climate change becomes increasingly apparent, we are all conscious that humanity is currently consuming resources at a rate beyond the level our planet can sustain in the long term. Although cement and concrete are, to date, among the lowest carbon-intensive building materials per unit of strength and per unit of cost, the concrete industry must play its part in continuously reducing the carbon intensity of the built environment.

Maintaining the balance between productions and caring for the environment is an important element of our mission statement. To that end, Siam City Cement Public Company Limited has adopted the ISO14001: Environmental Management System as the organization’s guideline in the management of the environment.

Inspired by the promise of a more sustainable and prosperous future for all, SCCC Group has devised the Sustainability Ambition 2030 which the Thailand Cement Business supports. However, we develop our ambitious targets based on business operations in Thailand, in alignment with all business units across the Group, to ensure that the Company can make a positive impact on the environment as one.

 

Climate & Energy

Global warming is one of the most urgent challenges the world is facing. If left unaddressed, it will impact both our climate system and the security of the population in general.

Thailand Cement Business, in alignment with SCCC Group, acknowledges the importance of this problem as well as the need to reduce carbon emission by developing a climate and energy ambition with achievable targets and initiatives.

Targets

  • Reduce CO2 emissions by a further 15% to < 530 kg net CO2/ton (20% reduced since 1990)

  • Reduce electricity consumption (by > -10%) with at least 20% coming from alternative electrical energy usage

Key Initiatives

Separate Grinding Project at Saraburi plant

Grinding Project Plant 3 in Saraburi province

  • Reduce CO2 intensity through clinker factor reduction by changing production methodology

  • Project Duration: 15 months (Q1 2022 - Q1/Q2 2023)

  • Project Investment : USD12 million

  • Status: On track for completion this year

Reducing our CO2 footprint in all markets

  • We continue to innovate the development of high performance and environmentally friendly products with lowered CO2 intensity

  • Hydraulic cement is a low clinker intensity and more eco-friendly product, manufactured with reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

  • INSEE Petch Plus (Thailand) is example of low-CO2 cement brands being well appreciated by our customers.

Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) system

  • We continue to innovate the development of high performance and environmentally friendly products with lowered CO2 intensity

  • Hydraulic cement is a low clinker intensity and more eco-friendly product, manufactured with reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

  • INSEE Petch Plus (Thailand) is example of low-CO2 cement brands being well appreciated by our customers.

Circular Economy

INSEE is fully committed to using more alternative raw materials and fuels where possible. Discarded materials and industrial waste are exciting options for the development of more environmentally friendly products and solutions.

Targets

  • Double use of waste derived fuels to >1.0 mio tons)

  • Increase (> +65%) use of byproducts (fly ash, slag etc.) to >1.4 mio tons per annum

Key Initiatives

1

Increase of Thermal Substitution Rate (TSR)

 

Biodiversity and Water

Biodiversity is essential for ensuring our quarrying and mining activities have a minimal impact on the planetary ecosystem. As the planet is very scarce on clean, palatable, drinkable water, we must play our part in preserving as much water as possible, especially when it comes to manufacturing our products.

Targets

  • Assure net-positive impacts on biodiversity

  • Lower water consumption (by > -20%) with enhanced use of surface water (to > +40% of all water used)

Key Initiatives
