SCG, a major ASEAN cement producer, showcased its low-carbon cement and industrial heat storage technology at Cemtech Asia 2026. The company demonstrated its LC3 cement, which cuts CO2 emissions by 30 to 40 percent using calcined clay and biomass fuels. It also installed ASEAN's first Rondo Heat Battery, a thermal storage system that delivers clean heat up to 1,500 degrees Celsius with 97 percent efficiency. The event included a site visit to SCG's Ta Luang plant in Thailand, where a floating solar array generates 16.6 million kWh per year. SCG is positioning these technologies as a pathway for heavy industry to reduce emissions without sacrificing performance. The article provides concrete numbers on emission reductions, energy efficiency, and renewable energy use in cement production.
