PT United Tractors Tbk (UT), a subsidiary of PT Astra International Tbk, demonstrates its commitment to supporting Astra’s Net Zero Emissions (NZE) Scope 1 & 2 target by 2050, in line with Astra’s Net Zero Pathway roadmap. As part of its long-term strategy, UT actively manages greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption efficiency to support the transition toward a low-emission energy system. This initiative represents Astra Group’s strategic contribution as the Pride of the Nation in helping achieve the Indonesian government’s NZE 2060 target.
UT conducts climate scenario analysis, strategic planning, and environmental risk management to support this goal using a systematic and indicator-based approach. This strategy integrates into operational policies and is supported by technological innovations and evolving green initiatives.
Energy utilization forms the foundation for sustaining UT’s business operations. Using electricity and fuel supplies, UT continuously strives to optimize and ensure energy efficiency to maintain reliable and environmentally responsible operations. Electricity consumption at UT covers lighting, air conditioning, building operations, process equipment, and office use, with power sourced from the grid and generators at remote locations not connected to the grid. Meanwhile, fuel remains a primary energy source to support mining and mining contracting activities, including the operation of heavy equipment and the mobilization of field tools.
As part of its commitment to achieving Astra’s NZE Scope 1 & 2 target by 2050 and realizing UT’s 2030 Sustainability Aspirations, which aim for a 30% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030, UT records a GHG emission reduction of 11.15% in 2024 compared to the 2019 baseline. This achievement reflects UT’s measurable and well-planned environmental management efforts. Additionally, UT increases its use of renewable energy to 31.94%, reinforcing its commitment to the clean energy transition.
Aligned with its positive sustainability milestones, UT implements various energy management and decarbonization initiatives, including:
- Fuel Switching to Biodiesel B35
UT adopts B35 biodiesel, which is more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels. This step aligns with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources’ (MEMR) policy to promote renewable energy use in the industrial sector.
- Utilization of Renewable Energy Certificates (REC)
Since 2022, UT partners with PT PLN to utilize clean energy. In 2024, UT and its subsidiaries use 85,487 REC units, equivalent to 307,754.57 GJ. Through this initiative, UT successfully reduces emissions by 74,374.02 tCO₂eq.
- Solar Power Plant (Solar PV)
Through its subsidiary PT Energia Prima Nusantara (EPN), UT installs rooftop solar PV systems in several operational buildings and mining areas. In 2024, this initiative generates 3,707.60 MWh of renewable electricity, significantly reducing reliance on fossil-based power and diesel generators in remote work areas.
- Green Building at UT Head Office
UT applies green building principles by optimizing natural lighting, using LED lights, energy-efficient HVAC systems, and monitoring electricity consumption via Internet of Things (IoT)-based technology. These efforts receive recognition in September 2024 with the ASEAN Energy Award, the highest energy award in Southeast Asia, organized by the ASEAN Center for Energy (ACE). The award is based on national-level evaluations and assessments by energy and green building experts across ASEAN. Furthermore, the green building performance of UT’s Head Office is acknowledged by the Jakarta Provincial Office of Manpower, Transmigration, and Energy in November 2024 for its implementation of building energy efficiency.
- Optimization of Energy Efficiency through Technology
UT provides operator training, uses energy-efficient heavy equipment, and applies big data dashboards featuring intelligence availability and operational intelligence to monitor and improve energy efficiency in real time. UT enforces strict heavy equipment operation standards in mining operations to control energy consumption and maintain productivity. Mine design is created to be efficient and safe, while fuel usage is monitored regularly. These measures reduce operational costs and enhance the Company’s sustainability performance.
UT believes the industry’s future must be built on sustainability, innovation, and collaboration pillars, all executed through well-planned and measurable governance. Through a technology-driven approach and clean energy initiatives, UT remains committed to leading the transition toward low-carbon operations while delivering added value for all stakeholders, ultimately achieving NZE Scope 1 & 2 by 2050.
