Petrokimia Gresik brings 529,000-ton emissions cut plan to COP31

PT Petrokimia Gresik presented a series of decarbonization projects, from plants to farmland, at the COP31 forum in Antalya, Turki, on 11 November 2026. The company estimates the program at its plant sites could cut emissions by about 529,000 tons of CO2 equivalent a year. One example is Pabrik ZA II, which captures and uses CO2 from ammonia production to make ammonium sulfate and calcium carbonate. During 2025, the facility reused about 58,000 tons of CO2, bringing cumulative use to 1.13 million tons in 2010-2025. Petrokimia Gresik is also testing carbon capture and utilization technology with the Ministry of Industry and partners from Taiwan to turn CO2 into soda ash, with a potential capture of 6,500 tons a year. In agriculture, the company is promoting balanced fertilization with Petroganik, NPK and urea 5:3:2, which in the company’s scenario can reduce emissions by about 70% compared with urea alone.
