Electrification and Digitization Can Save PTBA Rp58.4 Billion per Year
Muara Enim, September 2, 2022 - PT Bukit Asam Tbk (PTBA) continues to transform to become a world-class energy and chemical company that cares about the environment. A number of programs are carried out to achieve this vision, including Eco-Mechanized Mining (e-MM) and E-Mining Reporting System.
Eco-Mechanized Mining (e-MM) is a program to convert oil-fueled mining equipment into electricity-based ones. These mining equipment range from the excavation process, transportation, and other supporting equipment.
"PTBA can save fuel oil up to 7 million liters per year because of this program and reduce emissions by 19,777 tCO2e. This program creates savings of Rp 47.7 billion per year," said Corporate Secretary PTBA, Apollonius Andwie.
Meanwhile, the E-Mining Reporting System is a program related to online and real time reporting for mining operations. This online-based system can be accessed through the CISEA (Corporate Information System and Enterprise Application), replacing the manual reporting system.
"With this program, PTBA can save fuel consumption (diesel) to 1.2 million liters per year and reduce carbon emissions up to 1,677 tCO2e per year. This program is able to create savings of up to Rp 10.78 billion per year," he said.
Thus, the total efficiency generated by the e-MM and E-Mining Reporting programs reached Rp 58.48 billion.
Mining electrification and digitization program are also ways to support the government in achieving the Net Zero Emission target by 2060. PTBA also has other programs to reduce carbon emissions including using electric-based vehicles for mining operations, reforestation on ex-mining land, replacing ozone-depleting materials with other environmentally friendly materials, collaborating with international institutions CDP (Climate Disclosure Project) to assist PTBA's CDP Climate Change report.
PTBA also continues to increase its portfolio of new and renewable energy-based power plants, including the Solar Power Plant with a capacity of 241 kWp at Soekarno-Hatta Airport and at the Bali Mandara Toll Road with a capacity of 400 kWp.
