Asian countries are rich in coal reserves but are struggling to keep up with global demand and a changing regulatory and legislative landscape. The Indonesian government looks set to ban the export of low rank coal, putting producers under pressure to upgrade this precious commodity to meet the requirements of proposed changes to the current Mining Law. With 65% of Indonesia’s total coal reserves of low rank quality, the shift to production of upgraded coal in the face of the changes to the Mining Law means coal upgrading technologies have never been more important.

IBC’s 2nd Annual Coal Upgrading and Conversion Asia Conference offers you the perfect opportunity to:

• Be updated on Indonesia’s Mining Law requirements that will impact technology use
• Hear the latest policy addresses from Asia’s key coal producing markets
• Establish which coal upgrading technology will allow you to increase the calorific value of your coal without forfeiting potential profits in processing costs
• Understand the preferences of the end user and perspectives of coal producers
• Learn from leading coal producers on how they have successfully implemented coal upgrading projects
