Achievements in Bukit Asam Mining Digitalization
PT Bukit Asam Tbk (PTBA) was named runner-up for the ASEAN Coal Award in the Coal Handling and Distribution category at the ASEAN Energy Awards. The award was delivered during the 41st ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Energy (AMEM) and the Asean Energy Business Forum (AEBF) in Bali on Friday, August 25, 2023.
PTBA SVP Planning Septyo Cholidie, PTBA VP of Maintenance of Mine Production Equipment & Support Slamet Widodo, PTBA AM KP & Hyperkes Development Bima Arifiyanto were present to receive the award.
PTBA Director of Operations & Production Suhedi expressed his gratitude for the recognition. This award contributed to PTBA's spirit of innovation for sustainability, efficiency and management of energy use.
"PT Bukit Asam Tbk (PTBA) as a state-owned company and a public company has a high commitment in terms of reducing carbon emissions. To achieve this, PTBA has created a decarbonization roadmap, with one of the existing programs being digitalization," said Suhedi.
Several digitization programs have been carried out, including the Bukit Asam Mining System and Information (Mister BA). Mister BA is an integrated application program with several modules starting from the exploration process to the port.
"Digital transformation is one of the initiatives taken by the PTBA to implement Good Mining Practice. Digital technology also increases business efficiency and sustainability," Suhedi explained.
All integrated modules produce a significant impact in reducing energy and fuel consumption and may reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 6071.31 TCO2e.
"PTBA fully supports the government's program to achieve Net Zero Emissions in 2060 or earlier. Decarbonization programs will continue to be implemented and developed in a sustainable manner in every line of the company to provide optimal results," he said.
