“No low grade coal export ban soon”- Indonesian Govt

Indonesian government officials on Friday denied market talk that the country will soon impose an export ban on all low calorie coalexports from 2014.	
    

The plan for a ban on exports of low-calorie coal was still only a”concept” in the energy ministry, Sri Nastiti Budianti, export director of mining products at the trade ministry  

This fits with comments by a senior mining official in March, who said Indonesia was likely to delay the regulation until the technology was commercially available to lift low rank coal to a minimumheating value of 5,600 kcal/kg.
