PT Rekayasa Industri (Rekind) is embarking on a strategic step towards sustainable business by facilitating high-emitting industries in Indonesia through the development of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) / Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technology. This effort is part of Rekind’s transformation to support the national program for a low-carbon industry.
This commitment is strengthened by Rekind’s experience as a state-owned Industrial Process EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) company, which has been operating for more than four decades. During this time, Rekind has built various industrial facilities in the fertilizer, energy, gas, and petrochemical sectors, a core competency that serves as the main capital for taking a role in CCS/CCUS technology.
Rekind’s commitment was highlighted when it’s President Director, Triyani Utaminingsih, participated as a speaker at the Carbon Digital Conference (CDC) 2025, which was organized by the Indonesia Carbon Trade Association (IDCTA) and held at the West Hall of the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) on December 8–9, 2025.
In the forum, the woman, who is affectionately called Yani, asserted that based on this experience, Rekind holds a strategic position in preparing CCS/CCUS infrastructure for national industries.
“We are currently making serious preparations to equip all of Rekind’s best engineers, together with it subsidiaries, to support the development of CCS/CCUS facilities. Enhancing capacity and fostering a comprehensive understanding of the concepts, technology, regulations, and economics of CCS/CCUS is a priority for us. As an EPC company that always prioritizes innovation and high technology, this has become an indispensable requirement,” Yani firmly stated.
As a form of academic and research synergy and support, ITB is providing a space for Rekind at the Center of Excellence (CoE) on CCS and CCUS ITB to deepen research and development (R&D) activities related to this technology. This collaboration reinforces Rekind’s readiness to become a key player in Indonesia’s decarbonization value chain.
Yani continued, Rekind’s preparation aligns with global regulatory dynamics. Starting in 2026, the European Union will fully implement the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on various high-emitting products such as cement, steel, fertilizer, olefins, and petrochemicals. The enforcement of this policy will impose additional carbon costs on exporting countries.
Consequently, industry players in Indonesia must be capable of measuring, managing, and reducing carbon emissions to remain competitive in the global market. “This is the momentum for Rekind as a state-owned Industrial Process EPC company that has been operating for 44 years. With the experience and competencies we possess, Rekind is ready to take a role in developing CCS/CCUS facilities for national industries,” she added.
Rekind’s confidence is well-founded. The company has a strong track record in carbon capture projects, including the CO2 Removal Plant project in Subang, CO2 Removal in the Sabah Ammonia Urea (SAMUR) Project, CO2 Removal Pusri 2B Project, CO2 Removal Banggai Ammonia Project, and Jambaran Tiung Biru Project.
With this foundation of experience, Rekind is now more resolute in preparing to enter the new era of the clean energy industry through the construction of CCS/CCUS facilities. This step simultaneously confirms the company’s commitment to serving as a strategic partner in strengthening the resilience and competitiveness of Indonesian industry amid global demands for carbon emission reduction.
