Indonesia to review coal mining licences


NUSA DUA: Indonesia will push for consolidation in its mining sector while coal prices are low and may soon revoke more than 4,000 licences that have caused problems, mining and energy minister Sudirman Said said.

Indonesia ships about US$2bil of coal a month and is the world’s top exporter of thermal coal, but it wants to keep more of the fuel to feed ballooning domestic power demand.
