INDONESIAN COAL CASE STUDY
• Indonesian Coal
•3,500 kcal/kg AR Indonesian coal
•38%w AR moisture
•14%w dry ash
•Gasifier Screening Study found Shell Coal Gasification with High Temperature Heat Recovery highest efficiency and lowest cost.
•Coal dried to 12%w moisture using fluid bed drier or hot inert gas swept coal mill.

• Gasification can produce high value, clean energy products from low quality Indonesian coal.
• Removal of Indonesia subsidies for oil and electricity (forced by decreased oil and gas production) will increase the need for producing internationally competitive alternative energy in Indonesia. Coal gasification to electricity, clean fuels, and high value chemicals has the potential to mitigate this problem and invest in Indonesia.
• Black & Veatch can assist PLN evaluate options for gasifying coal to produce electricity.
