In daily life, human activities produce various types of waste, one of which is liquid waste....
How Can We Reduce CO2 Emissions?
What is CO2 Emission?
CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions are the release of carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere as a result of various activities, especially human activities.
How to Reduce CO2 Emissions?
The sixth IPCC report (1), published in 2021, reminds us that reducing greenhouse gas emissions is essential if we are to achieve the 1.5°C climate warming target and ensure a livable future for our planet. This is why PT Beta Pramesti Asia is committed to offering our customers solutions to measure and drastically reduce their CO2 emissions.
All Sectors Affected by Carbon Emissions
The science is undeniable: human activity is the main cause of the climate crisis, mainly due to our carbon emissions. From the chemical and pharmaceutical industries to construction, civil engineering, defense, papermaking, to public services - every sector of the economy and business is required to act to reduce their CO2 emissions.
Demonstrating environmental stewardship now has a major influence on public opinion, which is increasingly critical of industry's impact on the climate.
In addition, regulations across sectors are rapidly becoming stricter. Companies that do not take steps to reduce their climate impact risk facing long-term losses, possibly even being banned from operations.
Furthermore, the climate crisis itself has the potential to disrupt business activities. For example, the increasing intensity of droughts can seriously impact the availability of water - a vital resource that is the foundation of many industrial activities.
PT Beta Pramesti Asia is committed to avoiding 18 million tons of CO2eq at customer sites by 2027.
This initiative is not just about regulatory compliance, but also a valuable investment in the future. In addition to helping reduce emissions, the solution also improves operational efficiency while lowering production costs.
According to a survey published in early 2021 by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) (2), 64% of people believe that climate change is a global emergency.

PT Beta Pramesti Asia's Approach to Reducing CO2 Emissions
We offer comprehensive solutions that can be key in reducing CO2 emissions. These solutions help both industrial customers and local governments not only measure their carbon footprint, but also reduce it through the transition to green energy, energy efficiency, and collaboration on shared infrastructure use.
1. Improving Energy Management
PT Beta Pramesti Asia improves customer energy management in every supply chain, from production to consumption. We developed a low-carbon strategy for heating and cooling networks in various cities, prioritizing renewable energy and alternative energy sources.
Hubgrade 's management solutions help optimize the energy efficiency of buildings and other infrastructure, using real-time data to support decision-making, both on-site and remotely.
2. Recovering Decarbonized Energy in Microgrids
We also encourage the development of renewable energy-based microgrids. These smart mini-grid systems offer decentralized control that increases the resilience of cities and industrial areas in the face of climate change-induced outages. With green energy contributions, continuity of essential services can be maintained.
3. Sharing Energy Infrastructure
Industrial estates usually house a variety of activities with similar resource requirements. PT Beta Pramesti Asia provides energy, waste management and water infrastructure services together. This model not only reduces CO2 emissions, but also improves performance while reducing operational costs.

4. Measuring and Certifying CO2 Emissions
We help customers accurately measure their carbon footprint, which is becoming increasingly vital as regulatory pressures and public demands increase. Measurement data provides an important basis for identifying improvement opportunities and developing measurable emission reduction plans.
In addition, water and waste management efforts also play a major role in decarbonization. Learn more in this article: The Vital Role of Chemicals in Water and Waste Treatment
And as part of future solutions, we also highlight the importance of sustainable clean water availability: Seawater Desalination as a Future Solution
Conclusion
The climate crisis is a real challenge that must be faced together. PT Beta Pramesti Asia is committed to assisting customers in measuring, reducing and certifying their CO2 emissions through various innovative approaches: from energy transition, energy efficiency, to more sustainable waste and water management.
With these concrete steps, we are not only safeguarding business continuity, but also ensuring a greener and more livable future for generations to come.
