        "summary": "The Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources predicts a slight decrease in global coal demand due to the rising influence of renewable energy. However, markets in India and Southeast Asia are expected to sustain demand, while Indonesia focuses on balancing production with market needs and enhancing downstream processing.",
        "content": "<p>The global market over the next five years is expected to experience\na slight decline as pressure from renewable energy intensifies.<\/p>\n<pre><code>he Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) estimates that global coal demand will tend to decrease slightly in the next five years alongside the increasing use of renewable energy.<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Tri Winarno, Director General of Mineral and Coal at the Ministry of\nESDM, stated that although global demand is projected to weaken, India\nand the Southeast Asian region still provide room for coal demand\ngrowth, including through 2t027.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe global market over the next five years is expected to tend\ntowards a slight decline, where the pressure of renewable energy becomes\nstronger, while India and Asia still provide space for growth,\u201d Tri said\nin Jakarta on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>China and India are also expected to remain the primary markets for\nIndonesia\u2019s coal exports.<\/p>\n<p>Data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) shows that\nIndonesia\u2019s coal exports in 2025 reached 390.93 million tonnes, a\ndecrease compared to the export volume in 2024, which was 405.76 million\ntonnes. The value of coal exports in 2025 fell by 19.70 per cent\nyear-on-year to 24.48 billion US dollars from the previous 30.49 billion\nUS dollars.<\/p>\n<p>Of the total export volume, coal shipments to India reached 100.24\nmillion tonnes, China 81.79 million tonnes, the Philippines 37.70\nmillion tonnes, South Korea 28.29 million tonnes, and Japan 27.17\nmillion tonnes.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of value, coal exports to India reached 4.97 billion US\ndollars, China 4.58 billion US dollars, Japan 2.86 billion US dollars,\nthe Philippines 2.20 billion US dollars, and South Korea 1.84 billion US\ndollars.<\/p>\n<p>National coal production in 2025 reached 817.48 million tonnes. Of\nthis, 63.89 per cent of production was allocated for export, 30.2 per\ncent for domestic needs, and 5.9 per cent for stock.<\/p>\n<p>Given these global demand prospects, Tri stated that the government\nis no longer solely pursuing production volume, but is instead balancing\nproduction with market requirements. This approach considers the\nDomestic Market Obligation (DMO), price conditions, logistics, and the\nsustainability of reserves.<\/p>\n<p>The government has also set a national coal production target through\nthe 2026 Work Plan and Budget (RKAB) at approximately 600 million\ntonnes, which is lower than the 2025 production realisation of 817.48\nmillion tonnes.<\/p>\n<p>Tri added that changing global market conditions will also encourage\ncoal producers to increase efficiency and reduce production costs, while\nstrengthening the implementation of Environmental, Social, and\nGovernance (ESG) aspects. Furthermore, downstreaming is necessary to\nincrease the added value of coal and extend the commodity\u2019s value chain\nwithin the country.<\/p>",
