Thai Cement Manufacturers Association (TCMA) has advanced its strategy, “The NEXT Chapter to Net Zero 2050,” through five key implementation pillars – “5 Engines to Net Zero” – under the theme ‘Accelerating Collaborative Action towards Net Zero 2050.’ The initiative aims to accelerate the transition of Thailand’s cement industry toward a low-carbon future, while elevating its role as a Climate Solution Partner, in alignment with Thailand 2050 Net Zero Cement and Concrete Roadmap, a shared industry commitment.<\/i><\/h4>\n\n

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire<\/a> – 23 July 2026 – Amid growing climate pressures and intensifying global competition, Thailand’s cement industry is accelerating its transformation by integrating policy, technology, innovation, energy transition, circular economy, and digitalization into practical implementation; enhancing competitiveness while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. <\/p>\n

\"Speech <\/figure>\n

Mr. Surachai Nimla-or<\/b>, Chairman of TCMA, stated that “The NEXT Chapter” represents a critical inflection point for the industry, guided by the principle of being “competitive, growth-oriented, and low-carbon.” TCMA is advancing this transition through five key engines: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Policy<\/b> \u2013 Strengthening carbon governance frameworks, including carbon pricing, emissions trading systems, and green procurement, alongside standards and incentives to create an enabling investment environment. <\/li>\n
  2. Transition<\/b> \u2013 Advancing low-carbon technologies across the value chain, including calcined clay cement, new supplementary cementitious materials, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), through international collaboration. <\/li>\n
  3. Energy<\/b> \u2013 Increasing the share of clean energy and alternative fuels, while improving production efficiency to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. <\/li>\n
  4. Circular<\/b> \u2013 Promoting the circular economy through co-processing in cement kilns, utilizing waste as alternative inputs to reduce landfill and emissions. <\/li>\n
  5. Digital & AI<\/b> \u2013 Enhancing system-wide efficiency, improving precision, reducing energy use, and increasing productivity through digital technologies and artificial intelligence. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    “The core of ‘The NEXT Chapter’ is ‘accelerating collaborative action’; connecting policy, technology, and investment to deliver measurable and scalable impact,” said Mr. Surachai. He added that TCMA continues to advance SARABURI SANDBOX, a low-carbon city pilot that serves as a testing ground for innovative technologies and mechanisms before scaling at the national and regional levels. <\/p>\n

    The implementation of the 5 Engines to Net Zero reflects the industry’s transition from a traditional producer to a solution provider in addressing climate change, reinforcing the role of Thailand’s cement industry as a key driver in the country’s pathway toward Net Zero 2050. <\/p>\n
