Episode 17 : Industry and Gas: Toward Greener Production

How can industry reduce emissions without sacrificing productivity? In GasTalk Episode 17, we sit down with Chandra Asmara, a member of the Sustainability Committee at the Indonesian Gas Society, to discuss the role of gas in supporting the decarbonization of the industrial sector—particularly in the manufacturing, steel, and cement sectors, which require a stable energy supply to maintain production processes. This episode will discuss: Why the industrial sector is a key focus in the energy transition, Challenges related to costs, technology, and production continuity, The role of natural gas in replacing fuels with higher emissions, and How natural gas helps improve efficiency while supporting lower-emission production. The industrial transition must be approached realistically. Natural gas can serve as a practical step toward reducing emissions while maintaining productivity and operational reliability.
