Indonesia is blessed with readily available coal reserves and resources which exist primarily in Sumatera and Kalimantan islands. Indonesian coal generally has medium calorific values (CV of 5,000 - 7,000 kcal/kg), with relatively high percentages of volatile matter. The coal has low ash and sulphur content, making it some of the cleanest coal in the world and thus a more environmentally-friendly solution or blending material for coal-fired power plants.

Due to the geological structure and the archipelago nature of the country, coal deposits tend to be close to the surface with thick seams making it possible to use open-mining techniques with low stripping ratios. In addition, rivers and seas are readily accessible for transportation to transshipment points or coal terminals.

The biggest market for coal is Asia, which according to the World Energy Council currently accounts for 56% of global coal consumption with China and India making up for the majority of the demand. Due to its closer geographical proximity to these two markets, Indonesia has a significant competitive advantage over other major coal-exporting continents. Freight costs are
lower and/or smaller vessels can be used (and are more readily available) to deliver from Indonesia to Asian countries. On average, it takes one to two weeks less to ship to China and India from Indonesia than it does from Australia, its closest competitor by geography. According to Platts, savings of up tp US$5-10 per tonne can be made taking delivery from Indonesia.

In 2011, Russia produced 336.3 million t of coal. This represents 4% growth over the 2010 total (323.3 million t) and thus 2011 became the year of a record level in coal production in post- Soviet Russia. Some 90% of the output was provided by just the 18 largest players in the industry, demonstrating the concentrated nature of the Russian coal mining business.

Since the early 2000s Russia benefits the status of coal net-exporter. Russia became the world ’s # 3 coal exporter (after Australia and Indonesia) – with approximately 11% in global coal trade. Prior to 2009 Russia’s coal export was oriented mainly EU – with 73.4% share. But following market drop in Europe the western route of Russian coal export became less and less attractive. Meanwhile the demand in APAC continued to grow – even in crisis period; 2009 became the time when several Russian coal tycoons began to shift export interests from EU to Asia-Pacific...

Total investments in Russian coal mining totalled US$ 2 billion in 2010. Of these, foreign direct investment (FDI) accounted for less than US$ 40 million, or just 2% of the total. Therefore in general terms, foreign investors are weakly represented in the Russian coal mining industry.
