Abstract
Based on the coal reserves, coal quality, geographical location and policy support of Indonesia, this paper discusses the prospect of coal resource development in Indonesia, and holds that Indonesia is rich in coal resources, has good coal quality index, is easy to opencast mining, and has a good coal export location, which can be the first choice for coal resource development in southeast Asia. At the same time, the advantages and problems of coal industry in Indonesia are analyzed, and it is suggested that joint ventures can be established with local companies to reduce investment risks caused by backward infrastructure and weak government supervision. Coal and electricity joint venture is an ideal investment and development model in the process of coal mine development in Indonesia.
Highlights
Located in southeast Asia, Indonesia is rich in coal resources, with over 100 billion tons of coal and over 20 billion tons of reserves
Most of Indonesia's coal mines are open cut [1], with more than 90% of the coal produced in the east and south of Kalimantan and 9% of output coming from southern Sumatra, with about 74% exported
Indonesia's coal is mainly used for power generation because of its "green coal" characteristics, which are low in ash and Sulphur
Summary
Located in southeast Asia, Indonesia is rich in coal resources, with over 100 billion tons of coal and over 20 billion tons of reserves. The potential for coal mining is huge. At current rates, it can be mined for 59 years. Most of Indonesia's coal mines are open cut [1], with more than 90% of the coal produced in the east and south of Kalimantan and 9% of output coming from southern Sumatra, with about 74% exported. Based on the above background, this paper analyzes Indonesia's coal reserves, coal quality, geographical advantages and relevant policies to explore the current advantages and problems of Indonesia's coal, and makes predictions of future investment prospects
