Caring for the Planet Press Metal Aluminium Holdings Berhad SECTION 5 • DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE VALUE FOR OUR STAKEHOLDERS 150 Process Optimisations We continue to refine operational processes to maximise efficiency and sustainability while minimising environmental impact. Our efforts during the year included: • The refurbishment and major maintenance of the furnace to maintain the internal temperature of the holding furnace, thereby reduced diesel consumption. • Established diesel collection points within selected departments to reduce vehicle travel distances for refuelling. • Deployed smart meters across high electricity-consuming equipment to enable real-time performance monitoring and proactively managed energy consumption. • Replaced dust collectors with a smaller, more effective design to optimise dust and smoke capture. • Modified the shape of the anode to optimise the distribution of electrical currents in the potline and to reduce anode current density, which resulted in a reduction in energy consumption and intensity. • Enhanced anodising operations through modification of oxidised constructive copper seat that circulate overflow water system, thereby reduced water and energy consumption. Total Energy Consumption (GJ) Total Energy Consumption for 2024: 52.8 million GJ 2023: 55.6 million GJ 2022: 55.4 million GJ 2023 2024 2022 Total Diesel Consumption 350,077.6 379,229.7 431,886.2 Total Natural Gas Consumption 1,027,035.7 1,013,605.3 1,008,605.5 Total Liquid Petroleum Gas Consumption 17,355.7 17,644.8 20,994.3 Total Petrol Consumption 2,616.8 6,915.5 7,983.3 Total Acetylene Consumption 4,232.3 1,149.7 4,055.6 Total Electricity Consumption 53,982,036.1 54,138,052.1 51,377,584.5 Total Solar Energy Consumption 33,786.3 34,460.6 36,441.8 Notes: 1. FYE2022 and FYE2023: Aggregated data from our midstream (PMBtu, PMS, and PMAR) and downstream (PMI, PMIT, and PMBA Klang) facilities. 2. FYE2024: Aggregated data from our midstream (PMBtu, PMS, and PMAR) and downstream (PMI, PMIT, PMBA Klang, PMBA Nilai 1, and PMBA Nilai 2) facilities. HOW WE PERFORMED IN 2024 In FYE2024, our manufacturing operations consumed 52.8 million gigajoules (“GJ”) of energy, representing a 4.8% decrease from FYE2023. Our energy intensity had reduced slightly, by 2.1%. The reduction in energy consumption was mainly due to a temporary disruption at PMBtu’s Phase 3 plant, which was resolved in the first quarter of 2025.
