PT Aneka Tambang Tbk (ANTM) plans to abandon electricity from coal
plants and is looking for alternative energy with lower emissions.
Antam's Director of Business Development, I Dewa Wirantaya,
stated that his party has two principles in implementing the energy transition,
namely implementing sustainable alternative energy (Renewable Alternative
Energy) and energy efficiency so that emissions can be reduced.
Several work plans are mapped based on the 2021 baseline
which is divided into 4 parts, starting from the current plan (current
program), short term plan (2024-2026), medium term (2027-2030), and long term
(2031-2060).
"In the long term plan, with the entry of PLN in
Pomalaa, the PLTU can be stopped and we use other alternatives. "This
is what makes the biggest contribution to the long-term energy
transition," he explained in a Hearing Meeting (RDP) with Commission VII
DPR RI, Monday (27/11).
Currently, he continued, most of the electricity supply in
Pomalaa uses PLTU. So his party started looking for new renewable energy
(EBT) alternatives through collaboration with a number of parties.
His party has conducted a study on the implementation of
clean coal technology in Tanjung Buli in collaboration with several providers. Apart
from that, his party will also utilize biomass for co-firing in several
subsidiaries.
In its presentation material, in the 2030-2060 plan, ANTM
plans to have a Steam Gas Power Plant (PLTGU) equipped with Carbon Capture
Storage (CCS) in Feni Haltim (FHT), PT Indonesia Chemical Alumina (ICA), PT
Borneo Alumina Indonesia (BAI).
Then, the use of new, renewable energy-based electricity in
the Kolaka Nickel Mining Business Unit (UBPN), West Kalimantan Bauxite Mining
Business Unit (UBPB), and Mempawah.
Apart from that, the use of electricity from the PLN-Gas Engine Power Plant (PLTMG) (gas generator) in the UBPN Malut-PLN UBPN Malut-PLN Ferronickel Factory Development Project in East Kalimantan.
Biomass is used as a reductant in a number of facilities
ranging from smelters, the Haltim ferronickel factory construction project, to
nickel business units.
Apart from that, there are several other initiatives being
undertaken in the long term plan, namely the use of technology in the form of
replacing mining equipment with electrical equipment. Using low-emission
fuel oil in all business units.
His party will also install PLTS Rooftops for all employee housing and mining areas. Not only that, gas is used as energy in process equipment at UPBN Kolaka, P3FH Konut, and FHT.
