TCMA signs MOU with Saskatchewan to advance CCUS collaboration

01 October 2025

Thailand: The Thai Cement Manufacturers Association (TCMA) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the government of Saskatchewan in Canada, represented by the Ministry of Trade and Export Development, to strengthen cooperation in sustainable industrial development and decarbonisation. The agreement focuses on energy transition and advanced carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies, with potential pilot projects to be explored under the Saraburi Sandbox project. A joint working group will be established to drive implementation and progress will be reviewed annually.

Nopadol Ramyarupa, vice chair and acting chair of TCMA, said “This collaboration aims to accelerate the Thai cement industry’s progress toward achieving the Net Zero 2050 goal by facilitating collaboration on technological advancements on green energy transition and CCUS technologies. Furthermore, if a pilot project can be established in Saraburi Sandbox, it would be beneficial in supporting Thailand’s green economy. It could serve as a role model on industry decarbonisation and inspire the regional and beyond.”

Warren Kaeding, Minister of Trade and Export Development, Saskatchewan, said “This partnership demonstrates how Saskatchewan’s expertise in clean energy and innovation is creating global opportunities. The collaboration with TCMA provides not only an opportunity to share knowledge and experience with Thailand and ASEAN but also reinforces Canada–Thailand relations in advancing greenhouse gas reduction, a critical global agenda, alongside expanding trade and investment opportunities between our countries.”

Thai cement demand forecast to fall by 6% in 2025

27 August 2025

Thailand: Domestic cement sales are expected to decline by 5.5% year-on-year to 34.7Mt in 2025 due to a contraction in private construction, particularly new housing projects, according to local press. In the first quarter of 2025, sales rose by 9.6% to 8.8Mt. Government projects will continue to expand but at a slower pace than in 2024, which is reportedly insufficient to offset weaker private demand. Political uncertainty may delay the 2026 budget and new project bidding, which could impact demand for government construction projects from late 2025 into 2026.

SCG to cut costs after 2024 nine-month financial results

01 November 2024

Thailand: Siam Cement Group (SCG) plans to cut costs by US$147m in 2025 to address a 75% year-on-year fall in nine-month profit to US$202m. Despite stable revenue of US$11.2bn during the period, earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) dropped by 10% year-on-year to US$1.15bn.

In the third quarter of 2024, SCG reported revenue of US$3.79bn and EBITDA of US$292m, with profits dropping by 81% to US$21.3m due to currency exchange losses.

SCG aims to boost liquidity by selling assets and enhancing production efficiency, including a 50% increase in alternative fuel use in cement production, according to The Nation newspaper. Non-profitable businesses will be suspended, with further evaluations by mid-2025.

Thammasak Sethaudom, president and CEO of SCG, anticipates only a 3% rise in revenue for the coming year amidst global economic fluctuations and regional market challenges.
