PT Agincourt Resources (PTAR), the manager of the Martabe Gold Mine, continues to aim for a GREEN rating for the PROPER assessment through improving the quality of environmental management and biodiversity. To achieve this, PTAR has made various efforts to increase PROPER achievements from BLUE to GREEN, including controlling air and water pollution, managing toxic hazardous waste (B3), potential damage to mining areas, waste management, B3 material management, management non-B3 waste, as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions.PTAR Deputy General Manager Operations, Wira Dharma Putra, said PTAR supports the government's program to reduce 29% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on its own and 41% of emissions GHGs with international support by 2030. PTAR will also carry out its commitment to support the government's efforts towards net zero emission and comply with government regulations related to energy efficiency and GHG emission reduction."The goal of PTAR going forward is to get a GREEN PROPER and we hope to achieve this by increasing the focus on biodiversity conservation and energy projects, as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions," said Wira. Most recently, PTAR held an Environment Day seminar with the theme “Energy Efficiency Strategy and Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions” on 27 June 2022 online and an online seminar “Towards a Green PROPER for the Earth's Future” on 29 June 2022 in Medan.The two seminar themes in the context of World Environment Day are in line with the commitment and spirit of sustainable development which is the basic principle of PTAR in carrying out its operations. The seminar was attended by the North Sumatra Environmental Service (DLH), North Sumatra Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Office, South Tapanuli DLH, and a number of mining companies.In managing the environment and biodiversity, PTAR follows and implements all aspects of Good Mining Practice in accordance with applicable regulations. PTAR has also collaborated in the fields of education, science, research, and biodiversity conservation with several universities, including the Bogor Agricultural Institute (IPB), National University (Unas) Jakarta, North Sumatra University (USU), South Tapanuli Muhammadiyah University (UMTS). ), and Aufa Royhan University in Padang Sidempuan.Activities that have been carried out include surveying the composition and diversity of flora and fauna in Batangtoru as well as Pre-Land Clearing Fauna Inspection training with forestry experts from the USU Faculty of Forestry.  On a regular basis, the Integrated Team together with the PTAR Department of Environment monitor the quality of the residual water by taking water samples from the Batangtoru River.Fulfillment of the quality of the residual water from the Martabe Gold Mine process according to the quality standard based on the Decree of the Minister of the Environment No. 202/2004 concerning Wastewater Quality Standards for Gold and/or Copper Ore Mining Business and/or Activities, as well as Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. P.68/MENLHK/Setjen/Kum.1/8/2016 concerning Domestic Wastewater Quality Standards. In the Martabe Gold Mine area, PTAR has a nursery facility to assist the Reclamation Program in the final land area by providing supplies of native Batangtoru tree species.“We continue to ensure that every tree we plant is the best seed and we will take care of it regularly. Every year, a team from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources reviews and assesses the success rate of reclamation plant growth and the overall condition of the area to ensure that our company's reclamation and revegetation activities are carried out properly," said Wira. To date, PTAR has planted more than 41,000 tree seedlings, while the number of local plant seeds prepared at the nursery facility is more than 5,000 seedlings.The Head of North Sumatra DLH, Tengku Dianingrum, said that PROPER was needed to remind the commitment of business actors in managing the environment in order to achieve a sustainable environment. PROPER is also needed to improve the arrangement in controlling environmental impacts around the mine site and encourage the realization of sustainable environmental development. “Environmental restoration aims to preserve the environment, which is our collective work. We must have a mindset to contribute to realizing net zero emissions. So what needs to be done is to use alternative fuels with lower carbon emissions, such as biomass and biofuels,” said Tengku.  The North Sumatra Department of Energy and Mineral Resources expressed a positive appreciation for PTAR. Head of the Mineral and Coal Division of the North Sumatra ESDM Office, Budi Batubara, said PTAR is the only gold commodity metal mineral mining business that is already producing in North Sumatra and has made a significant contribution. Throughout 2021, PTAR contributed 96% of the total non-tax state revenue (PNBP) for mining.Source: https://kliksumut.com/targetkan-proper-hijau-pengelolaan-lingkungan-berkelanjutan-terus-dipacu-pt-agincourt-resources/

The increase in the prices of a number of commodities and the improving economy this year have boosted the performance of the heavy equipment industry. No doubt, the demand for heavy equipment will also increase in 2022. As a result, PT United Tractors Tbk ( UNTR ) reaped blessings from this. Now, this subsidiary of PT Astra International ( ASII ) has also chosen to hoist the heavy equipment sales target until the end of the year.United Tractors management decided to raise the sales target of Komatsu brand heavy equipment from the previous 3,700 units to 4,800 units for 2022. This latest projection has gone through a series of joint reviews between United Tractors as the distributor and the principal as the manufacturer of heavy equipment in order to increase production."So, of course everything has been prepared. The sector that has the potential to absorb our heavy equipment is still the mining sector," said United Tractors Corporate Secretary Sara K. Loebis, Friday (1/7). For information, in the first 5 months of 2022, Komatsu's heavy equipment sales reached 2,400 units or shot up 123.04% year on year (yoy). In the January-May 2021 period, sales of Komatsu UNTR heavy equipment were only 1,076 units. On a year to date (ytd) basis, Komatsu's heavy equipment market share in January-May 2022 was recorded at 28%.Of the total 2,400 units of heavy equipment sold by United Tractors, 62% of them are intended for the mining sector, 11% for the forestry sector, 17% for the construction sector, and 10% for the agribusiness sector. Regarding the challenge of limited raw materials or components for the manufacture of heavy equipment, Sara briefly explained that United Tractors' principal of heavy equipment always tries to have several sources to meet the needs of these components. This is part of the anticipation so that the supply of heavy equipment to United Tractors customers is maintained.Just so you know, United Tractors sells various types of Komatsu heavy equipment from Japan. These include Backhoe Loaders, Bulldozers, Forwarders, Hydraulic Excavators, Motor Graders, Off Highway Dump Trucks, Wheel Dozers, and Wheel Loaders. United Tractors' distribution network of heavy equipment sales spreads from Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, to Papua.Source: https://industri.kontan.co.id/news/permintaan-alat-berat-menggeliat-united-tractors-kerek-target-penjualan-di-tahun-ini

The state-owned mining company PT Mining Industry Indonesia ( MIND ID ) is testing the use of artificial intelligence (AI)-based technology and machine learning to optimize mineral exploration activities. The technology is called "Geologging" . President Director of MIND ID, Hendi Prio Santoso said that the digital application developed by the Safepedia team will be used by all MIND ID members consisting of PT Aneka Tambang (Antam), PT Bukit Asam, PT Freeport Indonesia, PT Inalum, and PT Timah.Hendi hopes that the application of AI technology can increase the effectiveness of exploration among MIND ID members. The company continues to innovate in every operational activity to optimize the management of mineral resources and reserves. MIND ID Relies on Three Strategies "The company continues to encourage the birth of ideas and innovations that make the mining industry's business processes more efficient, effective, environmentally friendly and sustainable," Hendi said in a press release, quoted Tuesday (28/6).Advertisement Geologging has three features, namely safety inspection , drilling process and core photos equipped with artificial intelligence technology. MIND ID hopes that the Geologging application will become a problem solver for efficiency and optimization of exploration activities for MIND ID members. Geologging trials were carried out at Antam's exploration activities in the gold mining business unit in West Java. This application can speed up and calculate samples of drilled rock (core) such as Rock Quality Designation (RQD), and Core Recovery . Hendi explained that the implementation of the pilot program carried out in Antam's operational areas focused on three things. One, field adjustments in the Geologging application according to the needs of officers in the field. Two, the collaboration of AI features on Geologging with Antam's digital logging application "Rinda Emas" ." Trial and error is needed considering that the use of AI in Core Logging or in the exploration business process is still very minimal," continued Hendi. The Rinda Emas Antam application was developed from the background of the risk of data recording errors (typo errors) , the lack of technology to support efficiency in the exploration world, and the lack of optimization in data collection for digital exploration activities. The collaboration between Rinda Emas and Geologging is expected to minimize input errors, increase efficiency by streamlining the data collecting process and improve the quality and standardization of geological data and drilling activity data. "The collaboration between Rinda Emas and Geologging is expected to contribute to the efficiency and effectiveness of Antam's exploration activities," said Hendi.Source: https://katadata.co.id/happyfajrian/berita/62ba8acde3681/mind-id-ujicoba-teknologi-kecerdasan-buatan-untuk-eksplorasi-mineral

President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo has instructed his cabinet to make sure that Taiwanese tech company Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd (Foxconn) materializes investments in battery and electric vehicle industries here without any hurdle, Investment Minister Bahlil Lahadalia said on Saturday.Foxconn has agreed to build electric car components, batteries, and electric motors and relocate its telecommunications spare part manufacturing facilities from China to the Batang integrated industrial area in Central Java in a move estimated to bring $8 billion direct investment to Indonesia. Earlier this year, the Taiwanese firm signed an MoU on the joint venture project with Indonesia's state-owned battery maker Indonesia Battery Corporation (IBC), Indonesia's listed miner Indika Energy, and Taiwan's electric bike maker Gogoro Taiwan for its Indonesian operations. The much-awaited investment is in line with the Jokowi administration’s ambition to build the most extensive EV ecosystem in the region.“Mr. President has instructed me to keep an eye on the investment until it is materialized,” Bahlil said after a meeting with Jokowi at Bogor Palace, West Java. He was accompanied by Foxconn Chairman Liu Young-Way and Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chairman Arsjad Rasjid.“Mr. President is keen to see the investment materialized immediately. One thing to his delight, this [investment] involves a collaboration of a state-owned company, a foreign investor, and local MSMEs and entrepreneurs,” Bahlil said. Foxconn's investment would put a milestone to Indonesia's ambition to develop a global-scale electric vehicles industry and attract more investment to its shores. The Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) targeted to attract domestic and foreign investment totaling Rp 1,200 trillion this year, up 33 percent from Rp 901 trillion last year. For Foxconn, the initiative would present an ample opportunity to develop a sustainable new energy ecosystem in Indonesia with local partners.  “Hon Hai is excited to embark on the journey to transform the new energy ecosystem in Indonesia in cooperation with the local government, Gogoro, IBC, and Indika,” Liu, the chairman of Hon Hai Technology Group, said in a statement in February. "I believe the implementation of the MIH platform, alongside our build-operate-localize (BOL) strategy and manufacturing expertise, will allow us to meet the market demand and create a sustainable new EV [electric vehicles] ecosystem in Indonesia,” Liu said. He referred to "Mobility in Harmony," an open EV ecosystem platform promoted by mainly Asian companies.Source: https://jakartaglobe.id/business/govt-vows-full-support-for-foxconns-battery-investment

Representing the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif, Secretary General of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Ego Syahrial today, Friday (24/6) witnessed the signing of three Memorandums of Understanding supporting the energy transition program. This signing is part of a series of The 2nd Energy Transitions Working Group (ETWG), in Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara.According to Ego, currently all countries are trying to keep the global temperature increase up to 1.5?C to avoid the impact of global disasters and climate change, including extreme heat, rising sea levels, the extinction of several living things, changes in ecosystems, and the extinction of coral reefs and coral reefs. marine fisheries.For this reason, efforts are needed to mitigate climate change by reducing carbon emissions (decarbonization) but while maintaining energy security. "This makes the energy transition even more urgent to be implemented as the direction of the national energy policy going forward, namely the transition to cleaner, less emission and environmentally friendly energy in accordance with Indonesia's commitments to the Paris Agreement and the Net Zero Emission target in 2060 or sooner with international assistance," said Ego.Mitigation efforts carried out include the development of New Renewable Energy (EBT), reducing the use of fossil energy and increasing the use of Battery-Based Electric Motorized Vehicles (KBLBB). The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, continued Ego, continues to encourage the KBLBB Program to realize cleaner energy use, reduce fuel imports, save foreign exchange and reduce CO2 emissions.To note, today a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources with PT Pertamina (Persero) and PT PLN (Persero) for the electric motor conversion program. Furthermore, between PT PLN (Persero) and HIMBARA (Bank Mandiri, BRI, BNI, BTN) for KBLBB ownership credit and infrastructure development for Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (SPKLU)."This is an effort to create a KBLBB ecosystem with a target of 6 million electric motor units by 2025. The implementation of this program will be able to save fuel around 13 million barrels/year or Rp. 16 trillion/year, reduce CO2 emissions by 4 million tons/year and increase electricity consumption is 2.4 terawatt hours (TWh)/year," explained Ego.This program also provides benefits for increasing new skills for the younger generation, opening up new job opportunities with conversion workshops, and increasing local component production. Meanwhile, another memorandum of understanding signed was between PT. PLN (Persero) with the Provincial Government of NTT and Nusa Cendana University in developing integrated energy forests and livestock in the context of producing biomass to meet the needs of Steam Power Plants (PLTU). This program can also reduce the use of fossil energy through co-firing of biomass at PLTU."It is hoped that through this program, community empowerment, BUMD, MSMEs can be carried out by involving universities to provide biomass raw materials in a sustainable manner," said Ego. Meanwhile, the President Director of PLN Darmawan Prasodjo stated that PLN was ready to support the conversion program of fuel motors to electric motors to accelerate the formation of an electric vehicle ecosystem in Indonesia and accelerate the achievement of the Carbon Neutral target by 2060."This conversion is also a step for us to be more independent in energy security. Because we are moving from import-based energy to domestic-based energy," said Darmawan. He said that this year PLN has prepared 400 units of electric motors that will be used as operational vehicles. This is also one of PLN's ways to campaign for electric motors to the public."Because this motorbike will continue to circle, there is a logo of PLN and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. That this will be seen by many people and the cost will go down. So that it can attract people's attention," said Darmawan. He also said that using electric vehicles could reduce carbon emissions. Given that one of the largest contributions of carbon emissions today comes from the transportation sector."Emissions of 1 liter of fuel are lower than electricity, the carbon emission is lower than electricity. For that, we strongly support this program as one of the steps to reduce carbon emissions," added Darmawan. In addition to being actively involved in converting fuel motors to electric motors, PLN also ensures that the electrical infrastructure to support electric vehicles in Indonesia is available.PLN support through the provision of electricity infrastructure through public electric vehicle charging stations (SPKLU), general electric vehicle battery exchange stations (SPBKLU) and Home Charging Stations. Until May 2022, PLN has provided 90 SPBKLU units to make it easier for electric motorbike owners to charge. Meanwhile for SPKLU, PLN has presented 129 SPKLU units consisting of SPKLU Fast Charging and Ultra Fast Charging spread over 98 points."This year, PLN has allocated funds to add 40 SPKLU units to make it easier for people to fill their electric vehicles," concluded Darmawan. (RZ)Source: https://www.esdm.go.id/id/media-center/arsip-berita/komitmen-ekosistem-kendaraan-bermotor-listrik-berbasis-baterai-terus-diperkuat
