TCMA Launches The NEXT Chapter with 5 Engines to Accelerate Cement Industry Toward Net Zero 2050

Mr. Surachai Nimla-or, Chairman of TCMA, stated that "The NEXT Chapter" represents a critical inflection point for the industry, guided by the principle of being "competitive, growth-oriented, and low-carbon." TCMA is advancing this transition through five key engines:

1. Policy – Strengthening carbon governance frameworks, including carbon pricing, emissions trading systems, and green procurement, alongside standards and incentives to create an enabling investment environment.
2. Transition – Advancing low-carbon technologies across the value chain, including calcined clay cement, new supplementary cementitious materials, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), through international collaboration.
3. Energy – Increasing the share of clean energy and alternative fuels, while improving production efficiency to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
4. Circular – Promoting the circular economy through co-processing in cement kilns, utilizing waste as alternative inputs to reduce landfill and emissions.
5. Digital & AI – Enhancing system-wide efficiency, improving precision, reducing energy use, and increasing productivity through digital technologies and artificial intelligence.

The implementation of the 5 Engines to Net Zero reflects the industry's transition from a traditional producer to a solution provider in addressing climate change, reinforcing the role of Thailand's cement industry as a key driver in the country's pathway toward Net Zero 2050.
