 Coal is one of the primary energy
sources most widely used throughout the

What is
world for electricity generation.

COAL?
Coal is defined as the deposition of carbon
organic compounds that are formed
naturally from plant residues in solid, brittle
(brittle) form and can ignite spontaneously
in open air. Its formation took place over
millions of years ago through aerobic and
anaerobic processes under high pressure
and temperature
 PROS
Pros and
cons of • The capital cost of building a
coal-fired power plant is
Coal relatively lower
• Mature utilization technology
Utilization makes the current use of coal
more advanced compared to
other energy sources.
 CONS
Pros and • Greenhouse gas emissions produced
cons of by coal combustion are higher than
other energy sources. This is caused
Coal by high carbon content so that more
CO2 gas is produced compared to
Utilization • The use of coal can produce SOx gas
other energy sources.

derived from sulfur content which can

cause acid rain.
Challenges The National Energy Council (DEN) has
formulated the National Energy Policy
of Coal (KEN) through PP No. 79/2014 concerning
the optimal primary energy mix. One of the
Utilization points in the regulation states that in 2025
the role of coal is at least 30%, and in 2025 a
in minimum of 25%. This is a challenge to use
coal as an environmentally friendly energy
Indonesia (green coal technology) that is inseparable
from environmental issues.

Research The low heat value and the low utilization of
coal produced in Indonesia, pushed Prof.
Sasongko and team to develop hybrid coal. This
research utilizes abundant biomass waste and is
still of little use. Low rank coal and biomass are
converted to hybrid coal through the process of
co-pyrolysis. As a result, hybrid coal has a
higher heating value, lower water content and
lower CO2 emissions because CO2 emissions
from biomass are neutral. Thus, hybrid coal is a
fuel that is more environmentally friendly
compared to the coal feed itself.
