Thailand: The Thai Cement Manufacturers Association (TCMA) is advancing its ‘Reimagining Carbon: From Capture to Value Creation’ strategy. Speaking at the Thailand CCUS Grand Forum 2026 in Bangkok, Surachai Nimla-or, Chair of the TCMA, emphasised that achieving Net Zero 2050 in the cement industry requires an integrated approach combining energy transition, materials innovation, advanced technologies and supportive policies.
Through the Thailand 2050 Net Zero Cement and Concrete Roadmap, TCMA and its members are advancing key decarbonisation pathways, including energy efficiency, clean energy, alternative fuels (AF) and the transition toward lower-carbon cement products such as hydraulic cement and limestone calcined clay cement (LC3).
Beyond capturing CO₂, TCMA is exploring opportunities to convert it into valuable products and applications, including low-carbon methanol and CO₂-cured construction materials such as fibre cement products and concrete blocks.
“Through its Reimagining Carbon: From Capture to Value Creation vision, TCMA aims to accelerate the Thai cement industry’s transition toward Net Zero 2050,” Nimla-or concluded.
