INDUSTRIAL DECARBONIZATION

Acknowledging the importance of fossil fuels in powering economies, Astulin realizes the importance of energy transition and industrial decarbonization in prioritizing environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors. We believe that a sustainable transition does just rely on shifting from burning fossil fuels to using renewable resources, but also through innovative engineering approach and technological advances such as decarbonization process enhancement, improved efficiency and reduced wastages.

With this in mind, Astulin consults our Clients’ in identifying technically feasible and economically viable solutions, including Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS), in order to reduce their carbon footprint and meet their carbon reduction goals.

Our Projects

Slide 1

Palm Oil Mill
Process Enhancement

Conventional palm oil mill process uses sterilizers that generate great volume of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME), which poses environmental and disposal challenges. POME digestion in open ponding is the largest contributor to Green House Gas (GHG) emission in palm oil mills. Astulin works with industry experts to introduce process enhancement which is POME-free and viable for small scale applications. The mill system reduces carbon footprint by almost 80% and reduces land footprint by almost 60%, compared to the conventional mill systems.

Slide 2

Cement Clinker Plant Carbon Capture

Cement industry is considered as the hard-to-abate sector in terms of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission. Unlike other industrial sectors where carbon emissions are mostly from energy usage, significant portion of emissions from cement industry are process centric. Astulin offers feasibility study for Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS), using actual plant data and site condition to determine the most feasible CCUS solution(s) in order to assist our Clients in achieving their carbon reduction targets. The study includes technology market assessment, conceptual design, commercial evaluation and project planning.

Slide 3

Construction & Building

In 2018, buildings and construction sector accounted for 36% of final energy use and 39% of energy and process-related carbon emissions in 2018, 11% of which resulted from manufacturing building materials and products such as steel, cement and glass. Astulin inspires to promote advanced climate leadership focused on achieving sustainability living and eco-friendly construction practices. This includes implementing waste management plans, energy-efficient equipment and practices, usage of sustainable materials, and promote affordable, reliable and modern energy services.
