Abundant Reserves, Coal Mines Could Live Another 150 Years

Indonesian coal can still be produced for the next 50 years with an average production of 700 million tons per year, or it can even be extracted in 150 years if the average production is 200 million tons per year.


Based on data from the Geological Agency, Indonesia’s coal resources still have 99.19 billion tons and other reserves of 35.02 billion tons. Ezra Leonard Sibarani, Deputy General Chair of the Indonesia Mining Association, said that if we refer to reserve data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, the age of coal reserves can be used for up to 150 years.
