Chandra Asri Group supports the national target of renewable energy mix (EBT) through collaboration in providing infrastructure raw materials for the Geothermal Power Plant (PLTP) project. The company provides Asrene®SP4808 material with special formulations that can be produced into High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipes with PE 100 class for geothermal field facilities. Asrene®SP4808 is also a local resin that has been certified with Indonesian National Standards (SNI) and the highest Domestic Content Level (TKDN) in Indonesia.
The PLTP project serves as one of the pillars in achieving the EBT mix target as outlined in the National Energy General Plan (RUEN) of 23% by 2025 and 31% by 2050. The use of HDPE pipes with Asrene®SP4808 specially formulated raw materials has proven to be a reliable option for geothermal facilities due to their reliability and minimal maintenance requirements once operational. The use of HDPE pipes with this formulation has also been previously implemented in the Hamiding Geothermal Field, North Maluku, and the Wayang Windu Geothermal Field, Pangalengan, West Java.

Sinar Mas Land and Chandra Asri Group inaugurated the results of their collaboration in building plastic-mixed asphalt roads in BSD City on Wednesday, December 13, 2023. The development of this circular economy-based infrastructure has been started since 2021 in the BSD City area.
