MIND ID Cuts 605,000 Tons of CO2e, Tops 2025 Goal
The state-owned mining group now targets a 2.025 million-ton CO2e cut by 2030 through B40, equipment electrification and cleaner energy.
MIND ID recorded a 605,000-ton reduction in CO2 equivalent emissions in 2025, surpassing its company target of 250,000 tons of CO2e. The achievement was presented during the COP31 UNFCCC series in Antalya, Turkey, and was described by the Ministry of Environment/Environmental Control Agency as a practical benchmark for decarbonizing Indonesia's mining industry.
Deputy minister Ary Sudijanto highlighted steps taken by MIND ID and INALUM, including the use of B40 biodiesel, preparation for B50, and electrification of mining equipment such as bucket wheel excavator, conveyor and pumps, along with plans for electric haul trucks. In mineral processing, MIND ID is also using Renewable Energy Certificate to support its nickel smelter in Pomalaa. The company is targeting a 2.025 million-ton cut in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, or 15.75 percent of the business-as-usual scenario.
