Entering downstream value chain would generate more emission than<br />

conventional diesel<br />

Situation<br />

▪ Entering downstream value chain could generate higher value add than<br />

exporting raw coal<br />

Opportunity<br />

▪ Alternative coal value chains do exist<br />

– Indirect and direct Coal To Liquids (CTL) to produce traditional fuels<br />

– Indirect CTL to synthesize chemicals and new fuels e.g. DME, Methanol<br />

– Clean coal power generation (e.g. IGCC)<br />

– New, cleaner enabling technologies e.g. coal processing, CO2<br />

Complication<br />

▪ However, CTL technology is not<br />

recommended for <strong>East</strong> <strong>Kalimantan</strong><br />

– Non-sequestered CTL plants are<br />

more carbon-intensive than<br />

petroleum-based fuel<br />

– Even with sequestration, which is<br />

challenging to implement, CTL<br />

plants are still not significantly<br />

different from conventional diesel<br />

activities. There may be some opportunities to use blending with higher quality coals to gain the<br />

premium price for steel-quality coal and thus earn a higher return, but this type of blending is<br />

typically done by end-users and any margins are captured by them.<br />

Required Policies and Institutions<br />

A strong mining monitoring team is crucial for the success of the abatement and<br />

GDP improvement initiatives. The monitoring team would play many important roles in the<br />

implementation of abatement and GDP improvement initiatives.<br />

<strong>East</strong> <strong>Kalimantan</strong>, today, already has personnel to monitor the mining companies, i.e., the special<br />

mining police or mining inspectors (polsus pertambangan or inspektur tambang). However, the<br />

monitoring is not effective due to several challenges. One is the number of personnel. Experts<br />

estimate that the minimum ratio between the number of personnel and number of operating mining<br />

companies for effective monitoring should be 1:10. Currently, the ratio in <strong>East</strong> <strong>Kalimantan</strong> is 1:150<br />

with only two part-time members of special mining police to oversee 301 mining companies in<br />

production. The estimated number of mining companies that will be operating by 2030 is around<br />

620 companies. Therefore, <strong>East</strong> <strong>Kalimantan</strong> will need a total of 62 full-time personnel.<br />

The second challenge is a limited budget to conduct site visits. Ideally, each mining company needs<br />

to be visited every six months (this means 1,240 visits per year for 620 companies). However, current<br />

budget only allows the monitoring personnel to visit one company per year. Furthermore, the current<br />

personnel has limited authority to do unannounced site inspections. They need to report to the<br />

mining company first before they come, and then take a guided tour led by the mining company.<br />

Another challenge is the quality of personnel. Ideally, the members of the mine monitoring team<br />

should be mining experts. Therefore, the members of the provincial mining monitoring team should<br />

have the following qualifications: (1) educational background related to mining; (2) relevant work
