• Is the special HBA for electricity and industry (capped 70 USD/ton & 90 USD/tons) still relevant to the current coal conditions?
• Are HBA with a 6,322 GAR reference still relevant for HBA reference? We know that Indonesia produces thermal coal with a calorie reference in the range of 5,000 GAR, while in Indonesia only a handful of companies produce 6,000 calories above. 
• How is the progress of MIP preparation or how far is this rule? And does this MIP still need to continue?

• What are the current production levels and export volumes of thermal coal in Asia?
• How is the shift towards renewable energy sources affecting demand?
• What are the key trends likely to shape the market and what are the potential risks and opportunities that investors and other stakeholders should be aware of?

• Is it possible to be an investor in green energy whilst also being a coal company?
• How important is the demand for carbon offsets or carbon reduction?
• Do carbon offsets give an edge to coal suppliers?
• How important is the demand for carbon offsets or carbon reduction?
• How much of a transition is required?
• What are the main challenges faced to meet Indonesia’s growing energy demand?

 Meichaofeng” Running Club is a non-profit public organisation run by volunteers for coal industry participants from upstream and downstream of the coal supply chain who love running. Our aim is to let more people enjoy a healthy life. The Running Club currently have 22 branch teams in major active coal trading places covering coal production and consumption areas. The club has around 1,000 runners with some from Singapore and Australia.

With commodities prices fluctuating considerably, imports increasing exponentially in Vietnam and Thailand, this Keynote address will delve into the economics of the region, highlighting the interesting dynamics that delegates at Coaltrans Asia, need to circumnavigate. 

• China’s Role in Global Energy Transition:
• Impact of Energy Transition on the Coal Market:
• China Huadian’s Response Measures:
• Challenges and Opportunities

• How do Southeast Asia’s regional buyers view the market?
• With a lack of new mines receiving investment, where will their coal come from? How is their domestic demand being met?
• What is the longer-term outlook for coal supply – and how does that fit in with the demand?
• What are the trading challenges in the region?

Coal is used to be the industry with 1,000 enemies. It’s also well known that LNG and renewables firmed with storage are probably the most serious threats, but the questions remain as to how realistic they are as alternatives, especially in Asia.
