Indonesia: Cemindo Gemilang says that its subsidiary Merah Putih Beton has begun injecting CO2 captured using direct air capture (DAC) into its ready-mix and precast concrete products. The producer said that the method enables it to produce concrete using 18% less cement. The Koran Jakarta newspaper has reported that Cemindo Gemilang obtained the DAC technology under licence from its Canada-based developer. It deployed it following six months of trials in late 2023 – early 2024.
Cemindo Gemilang’s commercial director, Surindro Kalbu Adi, said “In the future, we will implement a lot of new technologies. The goal is that our Red and White brand products will be better and the quality of buildings will be even better.”
