Fuel consumption from non-renewable sources (Gj) 16,863,646 16,319,004 5 20,821,454 28,553,914
Fuel consumption from renewable sources (Gj) 68,137 116,439 1,610,231 2,080,208

Electricity purchased for consumption (Gj) 338,164 590,204 5 590,826 651,529
Total energy consumption (Gj) 17,269,947 17,025,647 5 23,022,511 31,285,651
Percentage of renewable and clean energy sources (%) 0.39 0.71 6.99 6.65

Notes:
1 Energy consumption is based on the addition of fuel consumption from non-renewable sources, fuel consumption from renewable
sources and electricity purchased for consumption as per GRI 302-1: Energy consumption within the organisation
2 Coal makes up 65% of our total fuel consumption from non-renewable sources (85% in 2022; 90% in 2021). The remaining fuel is
derived from diesel, liquefied petroleum gas, gasoline/petrol and NG. In 2023, the consumption of natural gas has been increased to
24.86%.
3 Fuel consumption from renewable sources include biomass and biodiesel.

Data covers our operations which include AKC, SDS, SDO (D), AAJ Marunda, SDO (M), AAJ Tj Balai, KRN, PRC, EF T, ACO and BOH
5 We enhanced our methodology and frameworks used for the 2023 Sustainability Report. As such, the 2022 data was revised based
on the latest industry protocol and guidelines.

WATER MANAGEMENT
GRI 303-1, 303-2, 303-3, 303-4, 303-5
Apical recognises water as a shared resource crucial
to our operations. It’s used in refineries and crushing
plants for oil extraction, power generation, and
pollutant dilution. Committed to water resilience, we
meticulously track usage and implement initiatives to
enhance efficiency. Most water comes from the sea,
rivers, or municipal sources. To minimise freshwater
withdrawal, Apical prioritises water efficiency and
actively reuses wastewater whenever possible.

In 2023, our total water consumption increased by
8.9% as compared to 2022. In addition, the water
intensity of our operations was 0.000530 ML/t of
oil processed. This increase is due to an increasing Apical2030 Target
volume of total oil processed over the years. Apical
is also actively mitigating water consumption with the Improve water use
newly installed rainwater harvesting system at PRC,
which has led to a reduction in water use. Additionally, intensity by 30%
WWTP has started recycling water for cooling towers, through circular solutions
further reducing water consumption.
