  • Indonesia coal is widely consumed as a major energy source in Asian countries, such as China, India, and Korea. In the paper, the characteristics of the coal-bearing basin and coal deposits in Indonesia are comprehensively reviewed using the exploration data accumulated through the coal exploration projects supported by Korean government subsidy. Cenozoic coal bearing sedimentary basins in Indonesia extensively contain coal deposits and are most productive in East Asia. Properties of coal deposits are variable depending on stratigraphy, depositional histories and tectonics. Eocene coal deposits tend to have thinner coal thickness and fewer numbers of coal seams, but have been major exploration targets due to higher calorific value and good coal quality. Late Oligocene-Early Miocene coal deposits occur in small scales, but are suitable enough for small to medium-sized coal mines. Miocene-Pliocene coal deposits, which are widely distributed across East Kalimantan and Sumatra, are being actively mined by taking advantage of thick coal thickness and abundant reserves in spite of their lower calorific values. The experience of various exploration informs that we need to have an overall understanding on geological conditions for successful coal exploration. The details on coal-bearing basin and coal deposits in Indonesia provided through the paper will be useful data for up-coming exploration activities by Korean companies.

  • 1. 선진국의 경우 한 사업체에서 광산-가공산업체-연구소를 운영하는 시스템으로서 제품규제부터 시작하여 계속적인 용도개발이 가능하다. 2. 한국의 벤토나이트 광업 및 가공산업체의 현황이 일본의 5분의 1규모이며 년간 생산량 및 수요량이 100,000톤 규모로서 세계 15위권에 해당된다. 3. 벤토나이트 광업의 영세화로 효율적이고 장기적인 개발이 되지 못한다. 4. 광량의 고갈 및 개발 침체로 수입량이 증대되고 있다. 5. 새로운 용도개발이 요구된다. 특히 최근 증대되는 cat litter용, 흡착제용등 우선 개발이 용이한 용도개발을 추진해야 하며 다음으로 방사성 폐기물 처분장 liner 및 brick용, 폐수처리용 유기-벤토나이트, 쓰레기매립장 liner용과 화장품용등의 부가가치를 향상시킬 수 있는 용도개발이 시급하다고 본다.
