TCMA Advances Carbon Management for Economic Opportunities

The Thai Cement Manufacturers Association (TCMA) is enhancing its "Reimagining Carbon: From Capture to Value Creation" initiative. This strategy aims to transform carbon management into a source of economic value through technological innovation and sector collaboration, while also addressing industrial emissions.

At the Thailand CCUS Grand Forum 2026, Chairman Mr. Surachai Nimla-or highlighted that achieving Net Zero 2050 for Thailand's cement industry requires comprehensive approaches such as energy transition, improved technologies, and supportive policies. TCMA is advancing decarbonization by using clean energy and exploring Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS).

A significant pilot project was launched for a Mobile Carbon Capture Unit at the Saraburi Sandbox, supported by several international organizations. This project aims to validate technical and economic aspects for future expansion.

Efforts are underway to convert captured CO₂ into valuable products, enhancing market demand and promoting new economic prospects. The TCMA emphasizes the alignment of policy, investment, and technological infrastructure to maximize these developments.
