ADARO TO INTRODUCE A NEW BRAND OF ENVIROCOAL, E4700, IN 2013
 COALspot.com - Adaro Energy, an Indonesian and leading coal producer in country has achieved a record coal production during 4Q12 of 13.31 million tonnes, a 7% increase year-over-year (y-o-y) and 22% increase quarter-over-quarter (q-o-q), despite experiencing a higher than average rainfall.
“ We recorded our second best year of coal production with 47.2 million tonnes. The coal market rebounded toward the end of 2012 after challenging market conditions, mainly due to excess of coal supply, for much of 2H12, the company said in a filing to the Indonesia Stock Exchange.
The company’s filing to the Indonesia Stock Exchange further said, Adaro Energy has exported more coal to India than China. India has imported about 7.08 million tons coal from Adaro Energy during 2012. Around 23 percent of coal produced by Adaro energy has consumed by domestic utilizes.
The statement further said that, “ During 4Q12, our sales volume went up 12% y-o-y and 27% q-o-q to 13.95 million tonnes. The driver for increased sales volume was strong demand for E4000 (Wara) going up 119% y-o-y and 147% q-o-q. Even though there is more competition for low calorific value coal, which has driven the Indonesian Coal Index 4200 GAR prices down, we were able to increase sales volume of E4000 (Wara) by 42% y-o-y to 7.76 million tonnes. In 2012, we delivered E4000 (Wara) to end users in India, China, Thailand, Hong Kong, Korea and Indonesia”.
Adaro has introduced a new product, E4500, which is a blend between E5000 (Tutupan) and E4000 (Wara) to provide more options to our customers as well as to optimize adaro's product portfolio revenue. Adaro claimed that, the company has sold 1.95 million tonnes of E4500 to two customers in Korea and Indonesia during 2012.
To improve efficiency and reduce the cost in 2013, Adaro developing an overburden crushing and conveying system (OPCC) and 2 x 30MW mine-mouth power plant.
Market Analysis
Supply
According to Adaro, the coal market found more support in December 2012 than in the previous four months. The gCN (global Coal Newcastle) index rebounded to an average of US$ 93/tonne in December. “ We believe this was due to negotiations of the Q1 Japanese contracts as well as cold weather in China. Similarly, API4 (FOB Richards Bay), API 6 (McCloskey), Australian off-spec coal and Indonesian Coal Index 5000 GAR followed similar pattern with gCN”, the statement said.
However, the Indonesian Coal Index 4200 GAR did not follow the same trend with gCN due to the strong supply of low calorific value coal in December. The exports from Indonesia continued to grow during 4Q12 supported by imports from China. According to Indonesia’ s Energy and Mineral Resources Minister, Mr. Jero Wacik, Indonesia produced 386 million tonnes of coal in 2012, which was a 23% increase y-o-y. The country exported 304 million tonnes of coal and used the remaining 82 million tonnes for its domestic consumption in 2012.
Adaro is preparing to introduce a new brand of Envirocoal, E4700, in 2013 which is a stand alone, non-blended product mined from Northern area of the Tutupan pit, company said in its statement.
AI sells its Envirocoal to 49 customers in 17 countries, primarily to blue-chip power utilities and some cement producers.

AI maintains geographical diversification to reduce risk. In 2012, AI remains a leading supplier to the domestic market with 10.74 million tonnes or 23% of its total sales volume. Meanwhile, A I’s coal sales to China decreased compared to the previous year due to the oversupply of coal to that country. AI sold more coal to India due to increased demand from Indian IPPs. Sales to Spain remained strong as coal fired power plants in Spain were more competitive than gas plants, the report says.
In 4Q12, Adaro Indonesia has sold 23% of its coal, mostly E5000, to domestic IPPs. Due to strong demand for low rank coal, AI exported 92% of its E4000 (Wara) to China, India, Thailand and Hong Kong during the same period.
Demand
During 4Q12, the demand for coal continued to grow especially from emerging Asian economies, spearheaded by China and India. Despite the stockpile levels at key power plants remaining high (19 days as of December 31st 2012), the arbitrage for imports remained open. This caused strong thermal coal imports during the quarter. Coal statistic shows import of all coals (including anthracite and lignite) during the quarter equaling 55.8 million tonnes, with approximately 45% of it coming from Indonesia. In 2012, China’s total electricity consumption grew 4.6% y-o-y to 4.8 million GWh despite their slowing economy. Due to an unusually wet season, the majority of growth was from hydro power generation, Adaro said.
India also continued its high level of imports, averaging approximately 10 million tonnes per month during the quarter especially after the commissioning of the large Tata power plant project in western India. Power generation from coal and lignite India increased by 13% y-o-y while hydro decreased by 12% y-o-y and gas decreased by 23% y-o-y.
