Overview

The 2025 Coal Metal Outlook Conference is set for November 28-29, 2024, at the prestigious Le-Meridien Hotel in Jakarta. This event serves as a critical gathering for industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to navigate the evolving landscapes of the coal and metal markets.

As one of the world's largest exporters of thermal coal and a significant player in global metal supplies—including nickel, copper, and gold—Indonesia occupies a pivotal role in these sectors. This conference will facilitate discussions on both the challenges and opportunities arising from shifts in energy policies and market demands, particularly as global calls for cleaner energy sources and sustainable practices intensify.

The first day will focus on the coal sector, which is at a transformative crossroads due to regulatory pressures and the push for sustainability. The agenda will offer a comprehensive look at the coal outlook for 2025, featuring speakers from Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and industry experts. They will provide insights into the current state of the thermal and coking coal sectors, discussing demand and supply dynamics both regionally and globally.

Panel discussions will feature market analysts and regional experts sharing perspectives on emerging markets in ASEAN, consumption trends in major economies like China and India, and strategies for navigating the complexities of coal pricing and production in a changing energy landscape.

Transitioning to Day Two, the conference will pivot to the metal sector, which is becoming increasingly vital in the global economy, particularly with the rise of electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies. Indonesia's abundant reserves of nickel, copper, gold, and other critical minerals place the country at the forefront of this economic transformation.

Discussions will explore the outlook for key metals and their roles in technology and energy sectors, emphasizing how Indonesian producers can capitalize on international demand while addressing sustainability concerns. The day will feature panel discussions on nickel in the EV battery ecosystem, copper in the global energy transition, and bauxite in the global aluminum supply chain.

Additionally, experts will provide insights into market trends, ESG practices, and strategies for sustainable electricity supply to support mining operations.

This conference will provide an essential platform for collaboration among diverse stakeholders—aiming to align economic growth with environmental goals across both the coal and metal sectors. Join us to engage in crucial conversations that will define the future of Indonesia's energy and mining landscape and contribute to a sustainable path forward for these vital industries
