TAPG - Inaugurates World-First Palm Shell-Based Biocoke Facility

TAPG - Inaugurates World-First Palm Shell-Based Biocoke Facility PT Triputra Agro Persada Tbk (TAPG) has inaugurated a biocoke production facility in West Kalimantan, in collaboration with Aisin Takaoka Co., Ltd., an automotive components company under Toyota Motor Corporation. The biocoke, made from palm kernel shells, is a world-first innovation developed through Aisin Takaoka’s R&D and is designed as a greener alternative to coal-based coke for the steel foundry industry. The technology aims to fully replace coking coal without reducing combustion quality, while significantly cutting emissions and waste. The project has no material financial impact at this stage; however, it aligns with TAPG's long-term target to become carbon neutral by 2036. (Source: Bisnis Indonesia)
