Indonesia is seeking to retire coal-reliant power plants earlier by devising a way to fund renewable projects amid the challenges of rising interest rates and elevated energy costs.“So we are going to be very, very serious first in making sure that this short-term disruption will not in this case also weaken our commitment,” Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said in a Bloomberg Television interview with Haslinda Amin. She spoke from Bali on the sidelines of the Group of 20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting.The government is working out the details of the Energy Transition Mechanism, including how to price the cost of building out renewable power capacity to replace coal-guzzling plants, Indrawati said. The ETM platform would involve adopting a model called “blended finance,” that taps different types of investors including sovereign, multilateral and private, instead of bilateral funding. That means countries like Indonesia can retain more authority over their domestic energy strategy instead of signing on to policy-binding deals.President Joko Widodo has pledged to shut all of Indonesia’s coal-power plants by 2055 and be 100% dependent on renewable sources five years later. No new coal-fired power plants will be approved and there are plans to finally roll out a carbon tax this year. Pushing countries to leave coal behind will become more difficult as many of them are in “survival mode” when it comes to access to energy, Indrawati said. Indonesia has been spending more state funds to keep local energy prices low as global oil costs surge.Source: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-07-15/indonesia-seeks-ways-to-exit-coal-earlier-with-a-fund-mechanism#xj4y7vzkg

PT United Tractors Tbk (UNTR) and Komatsu launched their newest hybrid excavator product, as well as the first in Indonesia for the 30 ton class, namely the Komatsu HB365-1. This excavator uses hybrid components that are more durable and reliable in harnessing electrical energy to produce powerful performance. Thus, this excavator helps reduce footprint emissions by up to 13 kg/hour and saves fuel consumption by up to 17% when compared to non-hybrid excavator models.United Tractors Corporate Governance & Sustainability Division Head Sara K. Loebis said, although currently the policies that regulate exhaust emissions are only available for passenger or commercial vehicles, United Tractors and Komatsu always support environmental sustainability in Indonesia by presenting environmentally friendly products."Together with Komatsu, which is a pioneer in presenting hybrid excavators in Indonesia, we continue to innovate so that we can play an active role in minimizing negative impacts on humans and the environment and gradually contribute to realizing an emission-free Indonesia," Sara said in her official statement, Thursday (14/14/2020). 7).Sara said, as a company that is mostly involved in the sale of heavy equipment for industry, UNTR has a special concern for environmental issues as part of the implementation of environmental, social & governance (ESG) initiatives. Therefore, the presence of Komatsu HB365-1 is a form of the company's commitment in developing environmentally friendly products.Marketing Division Head United Tractors Etot Listyono said, Komatsu continues to design, develop, test, and deliver heavy equipment with principles towards zero emission. Komatsu HB365-1 is intended for use in various sectors such as coal and mineral mining, namely nickel, gold, tin and bauxite as well as construction works. Komatsu HB365-1 utilizes the kinetic energy generated by the swing movement and engine rotation to generate electrical energy stored in the capacitor through the inverter. The stored energy is reused for swing movement and helps engine rotation. This makes the unit more efficient in fuel use because the engine workload is reduced."Every product sold by United Tractors must have gone through a study and research process that is tailored to the needs of the Indonesian market," said Etot. Etot added, Komatsu has been developing hybrid technology research since 1999 and it took almost 10 years to develop its first hybrid excavator product.Source: https://industri.kontan.co.id/news/united-tractors-untr-luncurkan-ekskavator-hibrid-komatsu-hb365-1

Indonesia, the world’s biggest exporter of coal used in power plants, will be able to increase output to help meet demand from countries that have lost supplies from Russia, its energy minister said on Wednesday. Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Arifin Tasrif said countries, which he declined to name, had asked Indonesia for coal in the wake of sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, which Moscow calls a “special military operation”.“We will help every country who are short of this kind of material as much as we can,” Tasrif said during an interview with Reuters on the sidelines of the Sydney Energy Forum hosted by the Australian government and the International Energy Agency. Indonesia’s target for coal output this year is 663 million tonnes. The minister did not say by how much that target might be raised.“We have the resources. If we look at the balance, we have to increase our production,” he said, adding that miners are obliged to reserve 25% for the domestic market. While Europe was short on coal, Indonesian coal “probably doesn’t meet their specification,” Tasrif said, while adding that buyers could possibly adjust their combustion systems.“In case the situation is very urgent, especially entering the winter season at the end of the year, we don’t want to let people suffer without coal. We have to do something on both sides.” The conference in Sydney was focused on energy security and finding ways to accelerate the transition to carbon neutral. Indonesia sees carbon capture and storage (CCS) as an important way to help meet goals for net zero emissions and plans to issue carbon credits for CCS projects, Tasrif said. He said Indonesia would issue its first carbon credits for other types of projects “very soon”.There are already three CCS pilot projects in Indonesia, with oil and gas giants like BP and ExxonMobil Corp studying CCS opportunities, and the government is looking for ways to capture carbon from other industries to be sequestered offshore in depleted oil and gas fields.Source: https://www.mining.com/web/indonesia-set-to-boost-coal-output-to-fill-russia-supply-gap/

Director of Engineering and Environment for Mineral and Coal, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Sunindyo Suryo Herdadi revealed, this illegal mining practice has a negative impact on social, economic and environmental life."The social impact of PETI's activities is that it hampers regional development because it is not in accordance with the RTRW, can trigger social conflicts in the community, so that it has the potential to cause public illness, and health problems due to exposure to chemicals," said Sunindyo in a statement to the media, Tuesday, July 12.In addition, he continued, illegal mining also has an impact on the country's economy because it has the potential to reduce Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) and tax revenue. "This will trigger economic disparities in the community, lead to fuel shortages, and the potential for an increase in the price of public goods," he continued.From the environmental side, PETI will cause environmental damage, damage forests if they are in forest areas, can cause environmental disasters, disrupt agricultural and plantation land productivity, and can cause river water turbidity and water pollution.In general, former PETI land with the open-pit mining method is no longer operational, leaving voids and puddles of water so that the land can no longer be used properly. "All PETI activities do not have acid mine water treatment facilities, so puddles and water flowing around PETI is acidic.This has the potential to pollute river water. so that on a large scale it has the potential to cause forest fires," concluded Sunindyo. To note, the implementation of PETI also generally ignores occupational safety and health (K3). Many violations occurred such as using non-standard equipment, not using personal safety equipment (PPE), no air ventilation in underground mines, and no buffering in underground mines.Source: https://voi.id/en/economy/189468/tersebar-lebih-di-2-700-lokasi-kementerian-esdm-paparkan-dampak-negatif-pertambangan-ilegal

Far East continues to progress its 1.15Moz Wonogiri project in Indonesia towards development with the receipt of promising metallurgical results and emissions compliance approval.The receipt of the necessary environmental technical approval for air emissions associated with the development and operation of the proposed mine by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry is a significant milestone for advancing the porphyry deposit through the remaining environment permitting process. This will in turn enable an upgrade of the project’s exploration permit (IUP Explorasi) to an operation and production permit (IUP OP), which will permit its development and operation.Far East Gold (ASX:FEG) adds that recent metallurgical test work on epithermal type quartz has shown high gold recoveries of 96% thanks in large part to high gravity gold extraction of 75%. This compares with previous carbon-in-leach processing that returned overall gold recoveries to between 90% and 91% with the gravity concentrator extracting up to 51% of the gold.Importantly, this indicates that most of the gold contained within epithermal type mineralisation can be recovered efficiently, which should improve cash flows and lower operational cost due, in part, to lowering reagent requirements. It also supports the company’s environmental policies, underscoring its belief that Wonogiri is a leading project for both production and ESG. The test work will be included in the Scoping Study update that is being carried out by Mining One consultants.Approval imminentWith the receipt of the air emissions approval, Far East only has one remaining technical approval required – the Toxic and Hazardous Waste Management Technical Approval – to secure the environmental green light for Wonogiri. Application for this remaining approval is well advanced with the company having completed the necessary geotechnical, hydrogeological and hydrology studies.Meanwhile, the TCLP testing, filter testing, total pollutant concentration and radioactive contamination tests required for this final technical approval are all well progressed. The company is also evaluating final proposals for the mine infrastructure and processing plant layouts.This article was developed in collaboration with Far East Gold, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing. This article does not constitute financial product advice.

Indonesia’s Bara Daya Energi quoted the lowest bid for two coal import tenders of Coal India (CIL) for supplying 3 million tonne (MT) each. The firm has outbid Adani Enterprises, the only other bidder for these two tenders. Adani, however, has emerged as L1, or the lowest bidder, for the short-term coal import tender of CIL for supplying 2.4 MT.The Indonesian company quoted Rs 4,331 crore for the eastern coast tender and Rs 4,497 crore for the west coast. Adani Enterprises, which came second, quoted Rs 5,035 crore and Rs 5080 crore for west and east coast, respectively. This is a medium-term supply contract for CIL to build a stock during next season.Bara Daya, however, has earlier faced termination of its contract from Gujarat State Electricity Corporation (GSECL) over “breach of contract and failure to supply coal”, said sources. Even in the first import tender of CIL, Bara Daya was rejected at the technical level on grounds of submitting invalid legal documents such as “power of attorney” and “consortium agreement,” said sources.Bara Daya has submitted its bid through a consortium with an Ahmedabad-based company GHV India. The two tenders, issued by CIL last month, pertain to the supply of 3 MT of coal at the east and west coast of the country. There were only two bidders for these tenders. For the first tender — for which the winning bid was submitted by Adani — is still being evaluated. The company had quoted Rs 4,033 crore in its bid. There were 11 other bidders for the contract to supply 2.4 MT during the June-September period.Source: https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/indonesia-s-bara-daya-energi-outbids-adanis-in-cil-tenders-for-coal-imports-122070801083_1.html

 PT PP Presisi Tbk (PPRE) succeeded in increasing the acquisition of new contracts by Rp. 661.9 billion in June 2022. With this addition, the total acquisition of new PPRE contracts has been recorded to reach Rp. 2.74 trillion until June 2022. President Director of PT PP Presisi Tbk, Rully Noviandar said that this amount was equivalent to 47% of the target for obtaining the Company's new contract in 2022 of Rp 5.9 trillion."This certainly proves that the Company is able to compete in the external market and opens up opportunities for us to acquire a wider market and improve the Company's positioning as a main contractor in the construction and mining services sector," said Rully, Saturday (9/7/2022). Based on the business line category, he said, the acquisition of new contracts was still dominated by civil work by 55.95% and mining services by 40.22%, where the two business lines are the Company's main business lines.While the rest was obtained from supporting business lines, namely structure work, production plant and heavy equipment rental of 3.83%. For the addition of new contracts by employer, the external market (Non PP Group) was dominated by 95.8% and the internal market (PP Group) at 4.2%."This achievement increases our optimism in achieving the target of obtaining new contracts, in addition to the Government's support in increasing the budget for land acquisition for toll road acquisition in order to accelerate the completion of toll roads, there is also a great opportunity for the Company as a heavy equipment-based construction company with the engineering capacity we have to increase the acquisition of new contracts and the Company's profit," he explained.He hopes that all the new contracts obtained can produce a high burn rate so that it can generate sales optimally and achieve the targets set by the Company for 2022.Source: https://www.cnbcindonesia.com/market/20220709194702-17-354333/pp-presisi-peroleh-kontrak-baru-rp-274-t-di-semester-i-2022

PT MNC Energy Investments Tbk (IATA) through its subsidiary, PT Indonesia Batu Prima Energi (IBPE) has started producing coal in a 15 thousand hectares (ha) concession located in Babat Supat, Musi Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra. The activity was marked by the First Cut of Mining event which was attended by the Board of Directors of the Company on July 2, 2022.Director of IBPE, Leader DS Daeli stated, the area of ​​15 thousand hectares is one of the biggest concessions of the Company. This concession has not yet reached its full potential as it is still in the process of being explored in most of the mining areas."I believe that IBPE will significantly increase the Company's production, as well as convince investors that the Company still has the potential to develop with higher production output plans for the coming years," he said in an information disclosure, quoted Friday (8/8).IATA through IBPE has signed a 5-year contract with the contractor on June 9, 2022 to start production with a target of 500 thousand MT for the first year, the period July-December 2022. In 5 years, the Company targets a total output of 7.5-8 million MT or 1 .5 million MT in the second year and 2 million MT annually for the remainder of the contract (Years 3-5), from Corundum, Beryl and Amethyst Pits."IBPE exports around 75% of its coal production to countries such as India, China, Vietnam and Thailand, while the remaining 25% is sold domestically to fulfill Domestic Market Obligations (DMO)," he added. The Corundum and Beryl pits are the 2 mines to be mined in the first 2 years. Meanwhile, mining in the Amethyst Pit will begin in the third year, along with new pits that are being and will be prepared, considering that the mining area of ​​15,000 Ha has not been fully explored and there are still many areas that still require the Indonesian Mineral Reserve Committee (KCMI) verification process.Currently, IBPE has mining infrastructure that is built and prepared adequately, with pit and disposal areas in the mine, hauling road that stretches 2 to 5 Km from pit to port, weigh bridge, and offices for administrative needs. In addition to IBPE, the Company's 2 other mines, through PT Bhumi Sriwijaya Perdana Coal (BSPC) and PT Putra Muba Coal (PMC), are already in production, with an output of 2.5 million MT in 2021.Meanwhile, PT Arthaco Prima Energy (APE) is also targeted to start production this year. The company is in the preparation stage, with the construction of a hauling road and port to support the APE production procesSource: https://www.tambang.co.id/iata-mulai-produksi-batu-bara-di-sumsel

The La Nina phenomenon and heavy rainfall overshadowed the coal production of PT Bumi Resources Tbk (BUMI) until the mid-year period. The Bakrie Group coal mining issuer has also reconsidered its production target until the end of 2022. BUMI Director and Corporate Secretary Dileep Srivastava said that his party had not released the results of operational performance in the first half of 2022. However, as an estimate, BUMI's coal mining and sales volume for six months reached around 35 million - 36 million tons.Dileep said La Nina and high rainfall since December 2021 are still hampering the production process. BUMI also targets coal production to reach 79 million - 83 million tons this year. The target is slightly higher than in 2021 with a volume of around 78 million tons. However, BUMI's current target is below previous expectations of pursuing production of 81 million - 86 million tons until the end of 2022. Dileep said that his party is considering weather factors, which are estimated at 50-60 percent of the potential for heavy rains to continue in the second half until next year. He emphasized that BUMI will pursue the target while fulfilling its domestic supply obligations, aka Domestic Market Obligation (DMO). "If the La Nina rains subside, we hope to reach the 2022 guidance as outlined. We are on track to meet the DMO," Dileep told Kontan.co.id, Wednesday (6/7).Meanwhile, BUMI's coal production will be supported by its two subsidiaries, namely PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC) and PT Arutmin Indonesia. KPC contributed higher with an estimated ratio of 2:1. In terms of sales, Dileep sees that coal demand is still strong in the second half. The effects of the Russo-Ukrainian war are still a driving factor as sanctions on the supply of fossil fuels originate from Russia.Therefore, the European Union market can be considered in the second half of this. However, there are a number of challenges that need to be addressed first. First, the weather factor that can hinder production operations. Second, the specifications of the coal produced and its mixture in certain markets. Third, the priority to fulfill the DMO.The fourth challenge is the limited funding support from banks or financial and investment institutions. "This can be detrimental to resolving the energy crisis as well as to managing energy security and orderly transitions," Dileep said. In the midst of the position of coal prices which are still at a high level, BUMI has also accelerated debt payments. BUMI paid Tranche A in full in Q4 2022 and initiated significant payments from Tranche B, in addition to converting Mandatory Convertible Bonds (MCBs) into equity."Thus significantly reducing interest costs to be able to increase profits with a more balanced capital structure," explained Dileep. BUMI also held an additional capital without giving the right to pre-emptive securities (PMTHMETD) aka private placement . In this corporate action, BUMI will issue 13,206.473,996 Series C shares with a nominal value of Rp 50 per share. This amount represents 10.25% of BUMI's total shares prior to the private placement .The exercise price will be held at Rp 76.59 per share. Thus, the value of this private placement transaction reached Rp 1.01 trillion, which was intended to convert Innovate Capital's debt. "We hope to have a balanced capital structure after the current proposed corporate action and expect our 2022 performance to be far superior to 2021," concluded Dileep.Source: https://investasi.kontan.co.id/news/bumi-resources-bumi-produksi-batubara-hingga-36-juta-ton-pada-semester-i
