2023 Sumatra Coal Outlook Conference

---

The largest Sumatra Coal conference is back

---

Petromindo and CoalMetalAsia Magazine are pleased to announce the 2023 Sumatra Coal Outlook Conference that will be held on 15 March 2023 in Jakarta.

The conference will bring together speakers from the entire coal value chain to deliberate on pressing issues on how to unlock coal potential in Sumatra as coal mining companies are now ready to ramp up coal output but they are facing coal logistic challenges.

Currently, resources allocation for coal production in Indonesia is still imbalanced with most of the coal output comes from Kalimantan and the rest comes from Sumatera, particularly South Sumatera.

On the contrary, coal potential in Sumatra is more than the coal in Kalimantan.

Coal logistic issues from South Sumatra to Aceh had long hindered the coal producers from ramping up production volume.

Yet, there have been some initiatives from coal logistic providers to unlock the huge coal potential in Sumatra by providing more coal transportation capacity through hauling road, coal railway or riverway.

Sumatra coal is dominantly lignite, low calorific value (CV), high moisture and sulfur content making the acceptability of coal from Sumatra to domestic and global market still limited.

However, with the expected surge in demand of coal both from domestic and overseas, the markets for Sumatra coal are increasingly promising.

The conference would also sightsee the investment opportunities in the coal-related sector in Sumatra and also explore initiatives of mining companies in Sumatra to participate in meeting the country’s zero emission target.

---
