Bogor, West Java (ANTARA News) - Indonesian Forestry Minister Zulkifli Hasan
has rewarded "Indonesia Green Awards 2011" to PT Indocement Tunggal
Prakarsa Tbk for its participation in environmental improvement.
"The
award is granted on Wednesday by Forestry Minister Zulkifli Hasan in Bali Room
of Hotel Indonesia Kempinski in Jakarta, and received by PT Indocement`s Human
Resources Director Kuky Permana," company spokesman Sahat Panggabean said
here on Thursday.
He said the
Indonesia Green Awards 2011 was by Bisnis&CSR Magazine and supported by the
Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia and La Tofi School of CSR.
"The
`earth inspiration award` is granted to numbers of company and individual that
strongly inspired to the public in environmental issues," he said.
According
to him, PT Indocement was granted an award for its initiative to use
alternative fuels in cement production process and reduce dust emission based
on the national standard, as well as planting and cultivating Jatropha Curcas
on ex-quarry that associated with the Corporate Social Responsibility Program
(CSR).
Panggabean
said PT Indocement Tunggal Prakasa Tbk was the first cement sector project for
reducing greenhouse gas emissions under the Prototype Carbon Fund, which would
obtain three million tons of emission reductions from the project.
He added
that Indocement consists of two Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects.
The first
reduces the quantity of energy-intensive clinker in blended cement and the
second increases the use of alternative fuels, such as rice husk, coconut
waste, car tires and waste oils in the cement making process.
The
Indocement projects produce environmentally friendly, high-quality cement and
provide an alternative solution to Indonesia`s waste disposal problems while
creating employment opportunities in an alternative fuel supply chain.
He said the
total greenhouse gas emission cuts over the ten year crediting period is
estimated to be in the range of 10 to 12 million tons.
