Indonesia is the world’s third largest exporter of thermal coal. The number of active mines in Indonesia has grown massively in the past 10 years from 40 mines to over 100, with many more prospective mines. Kalimantan is the largest coal producing region with East Kalimantan being the most established mining area in Indonesia, accounting for 93% of Indonesia’s thermal coal production in 2011.
Due to the geography of the region, rail infrastructure and deep water ports are limited. Consequently, there is strong interest in building deep water port facilities and rail lines to increase export capacity. New export infrastructure is being proposed by Russian and Indian investors.
Recently new laws were passed which impact foreign ownership of mines. These laws have left current mine ownership in question with conflicting reports on the impacts for current ownership structures and limitations on new mines ownership being restricted to 49%. Additionally further changes to be implemented from 2014 restrict the export of unimproved coal.
Kalimantan Coal will analyse developments within all these areas to provide a comprehensive guide to the Kalimantan coal markets. Topics to be addressed include Indonesian coal legislation, foreign ownership, regional issues, infrastructure, land use agreements and advances in coal markets.


The conference will comprehensively address

  • Thermal coal
  • Coal bed methane
  • Coking coal

    Who will attend?

    This event will bring together senior executives, and decision makers from government, mining, infrastructure, shipping and supply sectors to discuss new policies and strategies for tackling the current and emerging issues within the burgeoning Kalimantan coal sector.


    About Kalimantan

    East Kalimantan is the second largest Indonesian province, located on the Kalimantan region on the east of Borneo island. The resource-rich province has two major cities, Samarinda (the capital and a center for timber product) and Balikpapan (a petroleum center with oil refinery). East Kalimantan's economy heavily depends on earth resources such as oilfield exploration, natural gas, as well as coal and gold mining.
