Initially, PTFI will build a new copper smelter in JIIPE, Gresik, East Java with a capacity of 2 million tons of copper concentrate per year. However, with a number of considerations, particularly in terms of project economics, the PTFI smelter capacity will be divided, 1.7 million tons for a new smelter. Then another 300,000 tons will be worked on by increasing the capacity of the existing smelter, namely PT Smelting.

Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) Arifin Tasrif emphasized that the most important thing for the government is the processing of copper concentrate in the country. Thus, the construction of a new copper smelter is still needed.

According to him, there is no problem if PTFI will build a new smelter with a capacity of 1.7 million tons, while the other 300,000 tons will be covered by PT Smelting's expansion. Arifin said,...

Freeport bakal bangun smelter

baru berkapasitas 1,7 juta ton

T

ARIK ulur antara pembangunan smelter tembaga baru PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) dengan penambahan kapasitas di

smelter eksisting masih menjadi polemik.

Namun, pemerintah dan PTFI tampaknya sudah mencapai titik temu.

Pemerintah dan PTFI sepakat bahwa pembangunan smelter perlu dilakukan dengan kapasitas 2 juta ton. Smelter dengan kapasitas sebesar itu digunakan untuk menyerap produksi konsentrat tembaga PTFI agar bisa diolah di dalam negeri. Opsi yang sedang dibicarakan pemerintah dan PTFI mengerucut pada pembagian kapasitas.

Awalnya, PTFI akan membangun smelter tembaga baru di JIIPE, Gresik, Jawa Timur dengan kapasitas 2 juta ton konsentrat tembaga per tahun. Namun dengan sejumlah pertimbangan, khususnya dari sisi keekonomian proyek, kapasitas smelter PTFI akan dibagi, 1,7 juta ton untuk smelter baru. Kemudian 300.000 ton lainnya akan dikerjakan melalui penambahan kapasitas di smelter eksisting, yakni PT Smelting. Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif menegaskan, yang terpenting bagi pemerintah adalah adanya pengolahan konsentrat tembaga di dalam negeri. Sehingga, pembangunan smelter tembaga baru tetap dibutuhkan.

Menurutnya, tak masalah jika PTFI akan membangun smelter baru dengan kapa-sitas 1,7 juta ton, sedangkan 300.000 ton lainnya dicukupi dari ekspansi PT Smelting. Arifin bilang,...

Arifin said, from an economic standpoint, this option would save more money.

"We have to build a domestic smelter. The capacity is the same in total. That can save costs compared to building (a smelter with a capacity) of 2 million new ones," said Arifin when met after the Joint Working Meeting of Commission VII DPR RI, Monday (23/11).

PTFI President Director Tony Wenas also agreed with this option. He said that discussions with the government were still continuing. "The important thing is 2 million tons. This is still being discussed, but the point is, the basic thing is 2 million tons," said Tony.

Tony claims, although the construction of a new smelter is not economically profitable, PTFI remains committed to building a new smelter in accordance with the require-ments for obtaining a Special Mining Business License ( IUPK) in December 2018.

He also ensured that the new copper smelter project at JIIPE Gresik would continue despite the covid-19 pandemic. "Our commitment is constant, progress continues. The commitment in IUPK is like that even though the economy is not very good, so it continues. But it is moving slowly," explained Tony.

Meanwhile, the progress of PTFI's new copper smelter project has only reached 5.86 percent. Based on the information presented by Arifin Tasrif at the work meeting, the foundation consolidation stage was 60% -70% and had not started the piling stage, which is planned to be held in October 2020-January 2021.

As of August 2020, the investment that has been absorbed for this project with a capacity of 2 million tons of copper concentrate per year has reached US$ 300 million. Arifin stated that...

Arifin bilang, dari sisi keekonomian, opsi ini bisa lebih menghemat biaya.

"Kita harus bangun smelter dalam negeri. Kan kapasitasnya sama secara total. Itu bisa menghemat cost daripada bangun (smelter dengan kapasitas) 2 juta baru," kata Arifin saat ditemui selepas Rapat Kerja bersama Komisi VII DPR RI, Senin (23/11).

Presiden Direktur PTFI Tony Wenas juga mengamini opsi tersebut. Dia bilang, pem-bahasan bersama pemerintah masih terus berlanjut. "Yang penting kan 2 juta ton. Ini kan masih dibahas terus, tapi intinya kan, yang mendasar adalah 2 juta ton," ungkap Tony.

Tony mengklaim, meski pembangunan

smelter baru tidak menguntungkan secara

keekonomian, tapi PTFI tetap berkomit-men membangun smelter baru sesuai dengan persyaratan dalam memperoleh Izin Usaha Pertambangan Khusus (IUPK) pada Desember 2018 lalu.

Dia juga memastikan bahwa proyek

smelter tembaga baru di JIIPE Gresik terus

berjalan meski terhambat pandemi covid-19. "Komitmen kita tetap, progres tetap jalan terus. Kan komitmen dalam IUPK seperti itu walaupun keekonomiannya tidak terlalu bagus, jadi tetap jalan. Tapi memang bergeraknya lambat," terang Tony.

Adapun, progres proyek smelter tembaga baru PTFI itu baru mencapai 5,86%. Berdasarkan informasi yang dipaparkan Arifin Tasrif pada rapat kerja tersebut, tahap konsolidasi fondasi sudah 60%-70% dan belum memulai tahap piling, yang rencananya akan digelar pada Oktober 2020-Januari 2021.

Hingga Agustus 2020, investasi yang sudah terserap untuk proyek berkapasitas 2 juta ton konsentrat tembaga per tahun ini men-capai US$ 300 juta. Arifin menyatakan,...

Arifin stated that the target for completing this project remains the same. "It is planned to operate in 2023," said Arifin. Meanwhile, PTFI and Mitsubishi Materials Corporation (MMC) on November 13, 2020 signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to increase capacity at PT Smelting. PTFI and MMC as the largest shareholder in PT Smelting will work together to increase the smelter capacity from 1 million tons per year to 1.3 million tons. This expansion is also targeted for completion by the end of December 2023.

Arifin menyatakan, target penyelesaian proyek ini masih tetap sama. "Direncana-kan beroperasi pada tahun 2023," sebut Arifin.

Sementara itu, PTFI dan Mitsubishi Materials Corporation (MMC) pada 13 November 2020 telah menandatangani nota kesepahaman (MoU) untuk me-ningkatkan kapasitas di PT Smelting. PTFI dan MMC sebagai pemegang saham terbesar di PT Smelting akan bekerjasama untuk meningkatkan kapasitas smelter dari semula 1 juta ton per tahun menjadi 1,3 juta ton. Ekspansi ini juga ditargetkan selesai pada akhir Desember 2023.

Zero Percent Coal Royalty

Provisions, Government Still

Receives PNBP

Muhammad Ridwan

T

HE GOVERNMENT is certain to continue to receive non-tax state revenue from the coal sector, even though there is a zero percent royalty requirement.

Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Arifin Tasrif said that the zero percent royalty provision was given to smelter companies.

In addition, this provision can be enjoyed by companies that provide added value to coal commodities in accordance with Law no. 3/2020.

"For that, all of them are subject to regulations in accordance with the Ministry of Finance. PNBP [non-tax state revenue] as long as it will remain," he said in a working meeting with Commission VII DPR, Monday (23/11/2020).

Ketentuan Royalti Batu Bara

Nol Persen, Pemerintah Tetap

Dapat PNBP

Muhammad Ridwan

P

EMERINTAH dipastikan tetap men-dapatkan pendapatan negara bukan pajak dari sektor batu bara kendati terdapat ketentuan royalti nol persen.

Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral Arifin Tasrif mengatakan bahwa ketentuan royalti nol persen tersebut diberikan kepada perusahan-perusahaan smelter. Selain itu, ketentuan itu dapat dinikmati oleh perusahaan-perusahaan yang meng-kerjakan nilai tambah pada komoditas batu bara sesuai dengan UU No. 3/2020.

"Buat itu semua kena peraturan yang berlaku sesuai Kemenkeu. PNBP [pene-rimaan negara bukan pajak] selama itu akan tetap," katanya dalam rapat kerja dengan Komisi VII DPR, Senin (23/11/ 2020).

According to him, the provision of zero percent royalties aims to encourage additional downstreaming programs that add value to the government.

For example, removal programs such as dimethyl ether (DME) require large investment costs. In the future, the DME product is expected to replace imported LPG (liquefied petroleum gas).

"If the DME growth increases, it will provide even greater consumption of low calorie coal in the future," he said.

The provision of zero percent coal royalty has been a concern in a working meeting with Commission VII which was held today. A number of council members highlighted the fate of PNBP from the mineral and coal sector due to this provision.

Member of Commission VII Ratna Juwita said that the government needed to consider PNBP due to the stipulation of this provision. This is because the mineral and coal sector is one of the biggest contributors to state PNBP.

He said that PNBP contributed by coal royalties in 2018 was Rp 80 trillion and Rp 42.5 trillion in 2019.

"What I want to convey is whether there is a calculation scheme between the increase in downstream value and what coal has contributed through this royalty because we have to think again about which sector we get PNBP from coal royalties," he said. Editor: Zufrizal

Menurutnya, pemberian royalti nol persen bertujuan mendorong terjadinya penam-bahan-penambahan program penghiliran yang memberi nilai tambah untuk peme-rintah.

Sebagai contoh, program penghiliran seperti dimetil eter (DME) yang mem-butuhkan biaya investasi yang besar. Nantinya, produk DME itu diharapkan bisa menggantikan impor LPG (liquefied

petroleum gas).

"Kalau pertumbuhan DME meningkat ini akan memberi konsumsi batu bara kalori rendah lebih besar lagi ke depan," ungkap-nya.

Ketentuan royalti batu bara nol persen itu menjadi perhatian dalam rapat kerja dengan Komisi VII yang digelar hari ini. Sejumlah anggota dewan menyoroti nasib PNBP dari sektor minerba akibat keten-tuan itu.

Anggota Komisi VII Ratna Juwita mengata-kan bahwa pemerintah perlu memper-timbangkan PNBP akibat penetapan ketentuan tersebut. Pasalnya, sektor minerba merupakan salah satu yang ber-kontribusi cukup besar terhadap PNBP negara.

Dia menuturkan bahwa PNBP yang di-sumbangkan royalti batu bara pada 2018 sebesar Rp80 triliun dan Rp42,5 triliun pada 2019.

"Yang ingin saya sampaikan apakah sudah ada skema perhitungan antara kenaikan nilai hilirisasi dengan apa yang sudah disumbangkan batu bara melalui royalti ini karena kita harus berpikir ulang dari sektor mana lagi kita dapat PNBP dari royalti batu bara," ungkapnya. Editor : Zufrizal

These are the details of BUMI

Cs' plan to work on a coal

downstream project

Anisatul Umah, CNBC Indonesia

T

HE GOVERNMENT continues to encourage the increase in added value of coal through downstreaming, so that it is not just mining and selling.

One of the coal companies planning to develop coal downstream is PT Arutmin Indonesia, a subsidiary of PT Bumi Resources Tbk (BUMI), by converting coal into methanol. This plan is part of the requirements for the operational extension of PT Arutmin Indonesia to become a Special Mining Business License (IUPK) from the previous Coal Mining Exploitation Work Agreement (PKP2B).

Arutmin received an operational extension to IUPK on November 2, which is valid for the next 10 years.

Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) Minister Arifin Tasrif said the Arutmin coal downstream project is expected to start operating in 2025. The downstream project location from Arutmin is at IBT Terminal, Pulau Laut, South Kalimantan (Kalsel).

The raw material for coal that will be absorbed is 6 million tons per year with a GAR content of 3,700 kcal/kg. Later it will produce methanol as much as 2.8 million tons per year.

"The current status of this project is the finalization of a pre-FS (feasibility study)," he said during a working meeting with Commission VII DPR RI, Monday (23/11/ 2020).

P

EMERINTAH terus mendorong pening-katan nilai tambah batu bara melalui hiliri-sasi, sehingga tidak hanya gali dan menjual saja.

Salah satu perusahaan batu bara yang berencana mengembangkan hilirisasi batu bara yaitu PT Arutmin Indonesia, anak usaha PT Bumi Resources Tbk (BUMI), dengan merubah batu bara menjadi methanol. Rencana ini merupakan bagian dari syarat perpanjangan operasional PT Arutmin Indonesia menjadi Izin Usaha Pertambangan Khusus (IUPK) dari sebelum-nya Perjanjian Karya Pengusahaan Pertam-bangan Batu Bara (PKP2B).

Arutmin telah menerima perpanjangan operasional menjadi IUPK pada 2 November lalu yang berlaku selama 10 tahun ke depan. Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif mengatakan proyek hilirisasi batu bara Arutmin ini diperkirakan akan mulai beroperasi pada 2025 men-datang. Adapun lokasi proyek hilirisasi dari Arutmin berada di IBT Terminal, Pulau Laut, Kalimantan Selatan (Kalsel).

Bahan baku batu bara yang bakal diserap sebanyak 6 juta ton per tahun dengan kadar GAR 3.700 kcal/ kg. Nantinya akan mem-produksi methanol sebanyak 2,8 juta ton per tahun.

"Status dari proyek ini saat ini adalah finalisasi kajian atau Pra-FS (feasibility

study)," ujarnya saat Rapat Kerja dengan

A coal downstream project in the form of methanol products will also be undertaken by a company under PT Bumi Resources Tbk (BUMI), namely PT KPC. The coal to methanol project is planned to be undertaken by KPC together with Ithaca Group and Air Products.

The project, which is targeted to operate in 2024, is located in Bengalon, East Kalimantan. The coal demand is estimated to be around 5-6.5 million tons per year with a GAR content of 4,200 kcal/kg. This project will produce 1.8 million tons of methanol per year. The current status is the finalization of FS and business schemes.

Another methanol project is planned to be undertaken by PT Adaro Indonesia, a subsidiary of PT Adaro Energy Tbk (ADRO). This project is targeted to operate in 2027, located in Kotabaru, South Kalimantan.

"Feedstock (coal needs) is around 1.3 million tons per year to produce 660 thousand tons of methanol per year. Currently, the status is finalizing the study (pre-FS)," he said.

In addition to converting coal into methanol, another project that is currently being worked on is the gasification project into Dimethyl Ether (DME) which is carried out by PT Bukit Asam Tbk (PTBA) together with PT Pertamina (Persero) and Air Products. This DME project can be a substitute for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), so that it can reduce national LPG imports.

This gasification project is located in Tanjung Enim, South Sumatra. Through this project, coal raw material is estimated to be absorbed as much as 6.5 million tons per year with a GAR content of 3,700 kcal per kg and will produce DME products of 1.4 million tons per year.

Proyek hilirisasi batu bara berupa produk methanol juga akan dikerjakan oleh perusahaan di bawah PT Bumi Resources Tbk (BUMI) yakni PT KPC. Proyek coal to

methanol ini rencananya akan dikerjakan

KPC bersama dengan Ithaca Group dan Air Product.

Proyek yang ditargetkan akan beroperasi pada 2024 ini berlokasi di Bengalon, Kalimantan Timur. Adapun kebutuhan batu baranya diperkirakan sekitar 5-6.5 juta ton per tahun dengan kadar GAR 4.200 kcal/ kg. Proyek ini akan memproduksi 1.8 juta ton per tahun methanol. Status saat ini yaitu sedang dilakukan finalisasi FS dan skema bisnis.

Proyek methanol lainnya direncanakan akan dikerjakan oleh PT Adaro Indonesia, anak usaha PT Adaro Energy Tbk (ADRO). Proyek ini ditargetkan beroperasi pada 2027 mendatang, berlokasi di Kotabaru, Kalimantan Selatan.

"Feedstock (kebutuhan batu bara) sekitar 1,3 juta ton per tahun untuk memproduksi 660 ribu ton per tahun methanol. Saat ini statusnya finalisasi kajian (pra FS)," ungkapnya.

Selain mengubah batu bara menjadi methanol, proyek lain yang tengah dikerjakan yaitu proyek gasifikasi menjadi Dimethyl Ether (DME) yang dikerjakan PT Bukit Asam Tbk (PTBA) bersama PT Pertamina (Persero) dan Air Product. Proyek DME ini bisa menjadi substitusi

liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), sehingga

bisa mengurangi impor LPG nasional. Proyek gasifikasi ini berlokasi di Tanjung Enim, Sumatera Selatan. Melalui proyek ini, bahan baku batu bara diperkirakan bakal terserap sebanyak 6,5 juta ton per tahun dengan kandungan GAR 3.700 kcal per kg dan akan menghasilkan produk DME sebesar 1,4 juta ton per tahun.

Domestic Coal Consumption 109

Million Tons as of October 2020

E

NERGY and Mineral Resources (EMR) Minister Arifin Tasrif said domestic coal consumption reached 109 million tons by October 2020.

This amount is equivalent to 70 percent of the domestic market obligation (DMO) target of 155 million tons.

Meanwhile, as of last October, the realization of coal production reached 459 million tonnes or 83 percent of the 2020 production target. Of this total 327 million tonnes were exported abroad.

an increase of 12.3 percent from the realization of the DMO in 2019 which amounted to 138 million tons with a production of 616 million tons," Arifin said at the Commission. VII DPR, Monday (23/11).

Arifin explained that the utilization of coal in 2020 is targeted at most for PLN, which is 109 million tons or 70 percent of the total target of domestic coal utilization. Then, there is a target utilization by the processing and refining industry of 16.52 million tons, the fertilizer industry of 1.73 million tons, the cement industry of 14.54 million tons, the textile industry of 6.54 million tons, and the paper industry of 6. 64 million tons.

"The projected use of domestic coal will continue to increase and is expected to reach 277 million tons by 2040," Arifin explained.

On the other hand, based on the records of the Ministry of EMR, until October 2020 electricity absorption by PLN was only 87.83 million tons or 80.57 percent.

Meanwhile, in other industries, the use of coal has also decreased significantly. For the type of paper industry, for example, until October it had only reached 1.02 million tons. Then, coal consumption for textiles has only reached 0.20 million tons. (hrf/sfr)

meningkat 12,3 persen dari realisasi DMO tahun 2019 yang sebesar 138 juta ton dengan produksi 616 juta ton," ucap Arifin di Komisi VII DPR, Senin (23/11).

Arifin memaparkan, pemanfaatan batu bara pada 2020 ditargetkan paling banyak untuk PLN yakni sebesar 109 juta ton atau 70 persen dari total target pemanfaatan batu bara domestik.

Kemudian, ada target pemanfaatan oleh industri pengolahan dan pemurnian sebesar 16,52 juta ton, industri pupuk sebesar 1,73 juta ton, industri semen sebesar 14,54 juta ton, industri tekstil sebesar 6,54 juta ton, serta industri kertas sebesar 6,64 juta ton.

"Proyeksi pemanfaatan batu bara dalam negeri tersebut akan terus meningkat dan diperkirakan akan mencapai 277 juta ton pada tahun 2040," terang Arifin.

Di sisi lain, berdasarkan catatan kemen-terian ESDM, sampai Oktober 2020 penyerapan listrik oleh PLN baru 87,83 juta ton atau 80,57 persen.

Sementara di industri lain, pemanfaatan batu bara juga berkurang banyak. Untuk jenis industri kertas misalnya, hingga Oktober baru tercapai 1,02 juta ton. Lalu, konsumsi batu bara untuk tekstil baru tercapai 0,20 juta ton. (hrf/sfr)

The government has not yet

decided on the position of the

former Arutmin land

T

HE GOVERNMENT has yet to decide on a stance regarding the continuation of the land for former PT Arutmin Indonesia by 40.1%, which was cut after the extension of operations until 2030.

Arutmin himself previously held the status of a Coal Mining Concession Work Agreement (PKP2B) whose contract period ended on November 1, 2020. Then, on November 2, 2020, the government through the Minister of EMR has granted an extension of the first 10-year operating permit, so Arutmin's status has now changed to Special Mining Business License (IUPK) as a continuation of contract/agreement operations.

Director General of Mineral and Coal (Dirjen Minerba) of the Ministry of EMR Ridwan Djamaludin revealed that no decision has been made on the land. "It hasn't been decided yet," said Ridwan at the DPR RI Building, Monday (23/11). For information, the extension of Arutmin's operations was given through the Decree of the Minister of EMR of the Republic of Indonesia No. 221K/33/ MEM/2020 concerning Special Mining Business Permits as a Continuation of PT Arutmin Indonesia's Contract Operation/ Extension Agreement.

The IUPK is granted for a period of 10 (ten) years until November 1, 2030 and can be extended in accordance with th e provisions of laws and regulations.

Pemerintah belum tentukan

sikap soal lahan eks Arutmin

P

EMERINTAH hingga kini belum menen-tukan sikap terkait kelanjutan lahan eks PT Arutmin Indonesia sebesar 40,1% yang dipangkas usai pemberian perpanjangan operasi hingga 2030.

Arutmin sendiri sebelumnya berstatus sebagai pemegang Perjanjian Karya Pengusahaan Pertambangan Batubara (PKP2B) yang masa kontraknya sudah berakhir pada 1 November 2020. Lalu, pada 2 November 2020, pemerintah melalui Menteri ESDM telah memberikan perpanjangan izin operasi 10 tahun pertama, sehingga status Arutmin kini berubah menjadi Izin Usaha Pertambangan Khusus (IUPK) sebagai kelanjutan operasi kontrak/perjanjian.

Direktur Jenderal Mineral dan Batubara (Dirjen Minerba) Kementerian ESDM Ridwan Djamaludin mengungkapkan belum ada keputusan yang diambil untuk lahan tersebut. "Belum diputuskan," ujar Ridwan di Gedung DPR RI, Senin (23/11). Sebagai informasi, perpanjangan operasi Arutmin diberikan melalui Keputusan Menteri ESDM Republik Indonesia No. 221K/33/MEM/2020 tentang Izin Usaha Pertambangan Khusus Sebagai Kelanjutan Operasi Kontrak/Perjanjian Perpanjangan PT Arutmin Indonesia.

IUPK tersebut diberikan untuk jangka waktu selama 10 (sepuluh) tahun sampai dengan tanggal 1 November 2030 dan dapat diperpanjang sesuai dengan keten-tuan peraturan perundang-undangan.

(13)

That way, Arutmin can continue operations for the next 10 years, then can be extended for another 10 years. Referring to Article 169 A of Law Number 3 of 2020 (Minerba Law), Arutmin can get two extensions in the form of IUPK as a continuation of contract operations/agreements for a maximum period of 10 years, taking into account efforts to increase state revenue. On the other hand, Ridwan cannot confirm that other companies holding Coal Mining Concession Work Agreements (PKP2B) will have their contracts expiring in the next few years.

As information, a number of first-generation PKP2B companies will expire, including PT Kendilo Coal Indonesia on September 13, 2021, PT Kaltim Prima Coal on December 31, 2021, PT Multi Harapan Utama on April 1, 2022, PT Adaro Indonesia on October 1, 2022, PT Kideco Jaya Agung on March 13, 2023, and PT Berau Coal on April 26, 2025. "One by one, we will review one by one," Ridwan concluded.

Dengan begitu, Arutmin bisa melanjutkan

operasi selama 10 tahun ke depan, lalu bisa diperpanjang untuk 10 tahun berikutnya. Merujuk pada Pasal 169 A Undang-Undang Nomor 3 Tahun 2020 (UU Minerba), Arutmin bisa mendapatkan dua kali perpanjangan dalam bentuk IUPK sebagai kelanjutan operasi kontrak/perjanjian masing-masing untuk jangka waktu paling lama 10 tahun, dengan mempertimbangkan upaya peningkatan pene-rimaan negara.

Di sisi lain, Ridwan pun belum bisa memasti-kan untuk perusahaan pemegang Perjanjian Karya Pengusahaan Pertambangan Batubara (PKP2B) lainnya yang akan habis masa kontraknya beberapa tahun ke depan.

Sekedar informasi, sejumlah perusahaan PKP2B generasi pertama akan habis kontrak-nya antara lain PT Kendilo Coal Indonesia pada 13 September 2021, PT Kaltim Prima Coal pada 31 Desember 2021, PT Multi Harapan Utama pada 1 April 2022, PT Adaro Indonesia pada 1 Oktober 2022, PT Kideco Jaya Agung pada 13 Maret 2023, dan PT Berau Coal pada 26 April 2025. "Satu-satu, dikajinya satu-satu," pungkas Ridwan.

Kemen-terian Koordinator Maritim dan Investasi (Kemenkomarves) di bawah Menko Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan terus mengakselerasi percepatan PSN tersebut, salah satunya melalui pembangunan smelter nikel di Sulawesi.

(14)

Assistant Deputy for Investment and Mining Coordination at the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Tubagus Nugraha, revealed that the government provides various licensing facilities, both those issued by the Central Government and Regional Governments which have the authority in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations.

This step is a manifestation of the govern-ment's commitment to strengthen the competitiveness of the national industry at the world level and increase the added value of the nickel commodity. His party has also directly reviewed the readiness of a number of smelters in Sulawesi that are included in the PSN proposal, including Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP) Morowali, Virtue Dragon Nickel Industry (VDNI) in Konawe and PT Ceria Nugraha Indotama (CNI) in Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi.

"As a Domestic Investment (PMDN), Indonesia must be proud of PT CNI's strategic steps. We will support this PSN to succeed," he said in an official statement, quoted by CNBC Indonesia, Monday (23/11/20).

According to him, Sulawesi is now the epicenter of nickel in Indonesia. Based on the mapping of the Geological Agency in July 2020, Indonesia has nickel ore resources of 11,887 million tonnes (inferred 5,094 million tonnes, indicated 5,094 million tonnes, measured 2,626 tonnes, hypothetical 228 million tonnes) and ore reserves of 4,346 million tonnes (proven 3,360 million tonnes and estimated 986 million tonnes). Meanwhile, the total metal resources reached 174 million tons and 68 million tons of metal reserves. The areas of Southeast Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi and North Maluku have the greatest potential in Indonesia to date. Tubagus explained that...

Asisten Deputi Bidang Koordinasi Investasi dan Pertambangan Kemenkomarves Tubagus Nugraha mengungkapkan, pemerintah memberikan berbagai fasilitas perizinan, baik yang dikeluarkan oleh Pemerintah Pusat maupun Pemerintah Daerah yang memiliki kewenangan sesuai dengan ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan.

Langkah ini sebagai wujud komitmen pemerintah untuk memperkuat daya saing industri nasional di tingkat dunia dan meningkatkan nilai tambah komoditi nikel. Pihaknya juga telah meninjau langsung kesiapan sejumlah smelter di Sulawesi yang masuk dalam usulan PSN, diantara-nya Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park (IMIP) Morowali, Virtue Dragon Nickel Industry (VDNI) di Konawe dan PT Ceria Nugraha Indotama (CNI) di Kabupaten Kolaka, Sulawesi Tenggara.

"Sebagai Penanaman Modal Dalam Negeri (PMDN), Indonesia harus bangga dengan langkah PT CNI yang sangat strategis ini. Kami akan mendukung agar PSN ini berhasil," ujarnya dalam keterangan resmi, dikutip CNBC Indonesia, Senin (23/11/20). Menurutnya, Sulawesi kini menjadi epi-sentrum nikel di Indonesia. Berdasarkan pemetaan Badan Geologi pada Juli 2020, Indonesia memiliki sumber daya bijih nikel sebesar 11.887 juta ton (tereka 5.094 juta ton, terunjuk 5.094 juta ton, terukur 2.626 ton, hipotetik 228 juta ton) dan cadangan bijih sebesar 4.346 juta ton (terbukti 3.360 juta ton dan terkira 986 juta ton). Sedangkan untuk total sumber daya logam mencapai 174 juta ton dan 68 juta ton cadangan logam.

Tubagus explained that the PSN proposal was an effort to provide employment and reduce imports and Indonesia's trade balance deficit.

According to Tubagus, Kolaka Regency is one of Indonesia's nickel barns. Therefore, by making the PT CNI smelter a PSN, the downstream nickel will generate added value and accelerate the regional and national economy.

"And the most important thing is to create jobs. We estimate that if the PT CNI smelter operates, it will absorb more than 4,000 workers," he added.

"The main things that must be accelerated are Building Use Rights (HGB) permits, electrical energy support and smelter construction plans," he added.

Meanwhile, Deputy Director of PT CNI Djen Rizal explained that as PMDN, PT CNI is fully committed to the nickel and cobalt downstream program to support the electric car industry.

According to Djen Rizal, currently PT CNI is building a Saprolite Nickel ore processing plant with RKEF technology consisting of a total of 4 lines each of 72 MVA, Rectangular Furnace through 3 development phases (equivalent to 8 lines 36 MVA Circular Furnace). Phase 1 1 line 72 MVA, Phase 2 1 line 72 MVA, and Phase 3: 2 line 72 MVA. Total feed mill 5,600,000 tonnes per year with 1.59% Ni. The construction was carried out by a consortium of SOE China ENFI and Indonesian SOE PT Pem-bangunan Perumahan (PP), each of which was a leading SOE in its field.

For production, the plan is for 252,000 tons per year of Ferronickel (FeNi) with a metal content of 22% Ni. The total electric power required is 350 MW from PLN.

Tubagus menjelaskan, usulan PSN ini sebagai upaya untuk penyediaan lapangan kerja dan menurunkan impor dan defisit neraca perdagangan Indonesia.

Menurut Tubagus, Kabupaten Kolaka men-jadi salah satu lumbung Nikel Indonesia. Oleh karena itu, dengan menjadikan smelter PT CNI sebagai PSN, hilirisasi nikel akan menghasilkan nilai tambah dan mendorong percepatan ekonomi daerah dan nasional. "Dan yang paling penting menciptakan lapangan kerja. Kami perkirakan, jika smelter PT CNI beroperasi, akan melebihi 4.000 tenaga kerja yang terserap," imbuh-nya.

"Hal utama yang harus dipercepat adalah izin Hak Guna Bangunan (HGB), dukungan energi listrik dan rencana pembangunan smelter," imbuhnya.

Sementara itu, Deputi Direktur PT CNI Djen Rizal menjelaskan bahwa sebagai PMDN, PT CNI berkomitmen penuh dalam program hilirisasi nikel dan cobalt untuk mendukung industri mobil listrik.

Menurut Djen Rizal, saat ini PT CNI sedang membangun pabrik pengolahan bijih Nikel Saprolit dengan teknologi RKEF yang terdiri dari total 4 line masing-masing 72 MVA,

Rectangular Furnace melalui 3 fase

pembangunan (setara 8 line 36 MVA Circular

Furnace). Phase 1 1 line 72 MVA, Phase 2 1

line72 MVA, dan Phase 3 2 line 72 MVA. Total umpan pabrik 5.600.000 ton per tahun dengan 1.59% Ni. Pembangunan dilakukan oleh konsorsium BUMN China ENFI dan BUMN Indonesia PT Pembangunan Perumahan (PP) di mana masing-masing merupakan BUMN yang terkemuka dalam bidangnya.

Untuk produksi, rencana 252.000 ton per tahun Feronikel (FeNi) dengan kandungan logam 22% Ni. Total tenaga listrik di-perlukan sebesar 350 MW dari PLN.

The plant life of PTCNI's mine ore supply is estimated to cover more than 20 years of operation (based on the estimated resources and current reserves of nickel ore supply that are mined in-house in the CNI WIUP.

PT CNI will also build a Limonite ore processing plant with HPAL technology which will process 6,800,000 tons of ore per year with a planned production of more than 103,000 tons of MHP per year (40,050 tons of Nickel and 4,118 tons of Cobalt).

"The required electricity capacity is 350 MW with an estimated plant life of more than 20 years of operation," he explained. Head of BPN Kolaka Isman Tama emphasized that currently the process of examining the completeness of the HGB file is ongoing. Once all the documents submitted by PT CNI are fulfilled, they will then be submitted to the Regional Office, because this is the authority of the Ministry of ATR/BPN.

"We fully support the construction of the PT Ceria smelter. Once all the documents for the issuance of the HGB permit are fulfilled, we will immediately submit it to the Regional Office. If possible, quickly, why take it longer," he explained.

Meanwhile, Husaini, the Director of Regulation and Establishment of Land and Space Rights, the Directorate General of Legal Relations of the Ministry of ATR/ BPN, also supports PT CNI's smelter proposal as a National Strategic Project. He revealed that one of the main concerns of his party was related to the HGB permit. The reason is, this permit is important to ensure that investment is not hampered. "This HGB permit is our concern. We will make sure this permit is a faster process," he added.

Umur pabrik dari suplai bijih tambang PTCNI diperkirakan mencukupi lebih dari 20 tahun operasi (berdasarkan estimasi sumber daya dan cadangan saat ini dari suplai bijih nikel yang di tambang sendiri di WIUP CNI.

PT CNI juga akan membangun pabrik pengolahan bijih Limonit dengan teknologi HPAL yang akan mengolah 6.800,000 ton bijih pertahun dengan rencana produksi lebih dari 103.000 ton MHP per tahun (40.050 ton Nikel dan 4.118 ton Cobalt). "Kapasitas listrik yangdibutuhkan sebesar 350 MW dengan umur pabrik diperkirakan dapat mencapai lebih dari 20 tahun operasi," jelasnya.

Kepala BPN Kolaka Isman Tama menegas-kan, saat ini sementara berjalan proses pemeriksaan berkas kelengkapan HGB. Begitu semua kelengkapan berkas yang diserahkan pihak PT CNI terpenuhi, selan-jutnya akan diserahkan kepada Kanwil, sebab hal tersubut adalah kewenangan Kementerian ATR/BPN.

"Kami mendukung penuh pembangunan smelter PT Ceria. Begitu semua keleng-kapan berkas untuk penerbitan izin HGB terpenuhi semua, langsung kami serahkan ke Kanwil. Kalau bisa cepat, untuk apa diperlama," jelasnya.

Sementara itu, Husaini Direktur Peng-aturan dan Penetapan Hak Tanah dan Ruang, Direktorat Jenderal Hubungan Hukum Keagrariaan Kementerian ATR/ BPN, juga mendukung usulan smelter PT CNI sebagai Proyek Startegis Nasional. Ia mengungkapkan, salah satu yang menjadi perhatian utama oleh pihaknya terkait izin HGB. Pasalnya, izin ini penting untuk memastikan investasi tidak ter-hambat.

"Izin HGB ini menjadi perhatian kita. Kami akan memastikan perizinan ini prosesnya lebih cepat," imbuhnya.

M

INISTER of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) Arifin Tasrif explained the projected domestic demand for coal that will continue to increase in the period 2020 to 2040.

By 2021, coal demand is predicted to reach 172 million tons. At its peak, Indonesia will need around 277 million tonnes by 2040. "The projected demand for coal will continue to increase, and by 2040 it will reach 277 million tons," Arifin explained in a joint working meeting with Commission VII DPR RI, Monday (23/11/2020).

For this year, Indonesia needs 155 million tons of coal, 70 percent of which is allocated to PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) or as much as 109 million tons.

Terus Naik, Kebutuhan Batu

Bara Nasional Diproyeksi Capai

277 Juta Ton pada 2040

M

ENTERI Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif membeber-kan proyeksi kebutuhan batu bara dalam negeri yang terus meningkat dalam kurun waktu 2020 hingga 2040.

Pada 2021, kebutuhan batu bara diprediksi mencapai 172 juta ton. Puncaknya, Indonesia membutuhkan sekitar 277 juta ton pada tahun 2040.

"Proyeksi kebutuhan batu bara akan terus meningkat, dan pada tahun 2040 akan mencapai 277 juta ton," jelas Arifin dalam rapat kerja bersama Komisi VII DPR RI, Senin (23/11/2020).

Untuk tahun ini, Indonesia membutuhkan 155 juta ton batu bara yang 70 persen dialokasikan kepada PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) atau sebanyak 109 juta ton.

(18)

Then, 11 percent i s allocated for processing and refining of 16.52 million tons, 10 percent for cement (14.54 million tons), 4 percent each for textiles and paper (6.54 million tons) and 1 percent or 1, 73 million tonnes for fertilizer.

Meanwhile, the national coal production is targeted to reach 550 million tons by 2020. As of October 2020, the realization will reach 459 million tons, or about 83 percent of the target.

Then, the export realization was recorded at 327 million tons with a value of USD 13.38 billion. For domestic coal fulfillment, the progress is reaching 109 million tons or around 70 percent of the target.

Coal is still the backbone of national electricity until 2050

Previously, the government continued to encourage the presence of electricity for all Indonesians. As of September 2020, the electrification ratio has reached 99.15 percent, growing by 11 percent compared to 2015, which was 88.3 percent.

The growth of the electrification ratio from year to year has also increased, in line with the increase in the number of villages electrified by PLN. In the last five years, as many as 12 thousand villages have been electrified.

In 2015, the number of new electrified villages was 70,391, increasing to 83,028 villages with electricity in September 2020. In terms of energy sources, coal power plants are estimated to still dominate power plants in Indonesia with a share of up to 45 percent in 2018 and will be 50 percent in 2050.

On the other hand, the demand for coal for the industrial sector is also quite high. Coal is indispensable for the industrial sector in the fields of cement, paper and textile processing. Coal consumption growth for...

Kemudian, 11 persennya dialokasikan untuk pengolahan dan pemurnian sebesar 16,52 juta ton, 10 persen untuk semen (14,54 juta ton), masing-masing 4 persen untuk tekstil dan kertas (6,54 juta ton) dan 1 persen atau 1,73 juta ton untuk pupuk. Adapun, produksi batu bara nasional di-targetkan mencapai 550 juta ton pada tahun 2020. Per Oktober 2020, realisasinya men-capai 459 juta ton, atau sekitar 83 persen dari target.

Kemudian, realisasi ekspor tercatat men-capai 327 juta ton dengan nilai USD 13,38 miliar. Untuk pemenuhan batu bara dalam negeri, progressnya mencapai 109 juta ton atau sekitar 70 persen dari target.

Batu Bara Masih jadi Tulang Punggung Listrik Nasional hingga 2050

Sebelumnya, pemerintah terus mendorong hadirnya listrik bagi seluruh masyarakat Indonesia. Hingga September 2020, rasio elektrifikasi telah mencapai 99,15 persen, tumbuh sebesar 11 persen dibandingkan tahun 2015 yang nilainya 88,3 persen. Pertumbuhan rasio elektrifikasi dari tahun ke tahun juga meningkat, sejalan dengan peningkatan jumlah desa yang terlistriki oleh PLN. Dalam lima tahun terakhir, sebanyak 12 ribu desa berhasil dilistriki. Pada tahun 2015, jumlah desa berlistrik baru sebesar 70.391, meningkat menjadi 83.028 desa berlistrik pada September tahun 2020.

Dari sisi sumber energi, PLTU batubara di-perkirakan masih tetap mendominasi pem-bangkit listrik di Indonesia dengan pangsa mencapai 45 persen pada tahun 2018 dan akan menjadi 50 persen pada tahun 2050.

Di sisi lain, kebutuhan batu bara untuk sektor industri juga cukup tinggi. Batu bara sangat diperlukan untuk sektor industri di bidang pengolahan semen, kertas, dan tekstil. Pertumbuhan konsumsi batu bara untuk...

(19)

Coal consumption growth for the industrial sector is estimated to continue to increase with an average consumption growth rate of 3.3 percent per year.

"In general, domestic absorption in the first half of this year was quite affected by the Covid-19 pandemic," said APBI Executive Director Hendra Sinadia in Jakarta, Saturday (11/14/2020).

APBI projects that this year's domestic coal absorption could reach 120 million tons, or lower than the Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) target set by the Ministry of EMR of 155 million tons.

Anticipating the high demand for coal, the integrated energy company PT ABM Investama Tbk., (ABM) as one of the national coal producers provides optimal support to meet domestic energy needs. ABM also continues to be committed to supporting energy supply to PLN in meeting the availability of electricity for the community.

Coal Demand Contraction

Meanwhile, to get around the contraction in coal demand ABM is developing a business model through integrated synergy of its subsidiaries, from mining, transportation, maintenance of heavy equipment to fuel supply. This efficient production process is ABM's key strategy to maintain financial performance amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

"We will continue to improve the application of mining value chains, by carrying out synergies between sub-sidiaries and focusing on optimizing the productivity of the subsidiaries, in anticipation of this year's economic slow-down," said ABM Investama President Director Andi Djajanegara some time ago.

Pertumbuhan konsumsi batu bara untuk sektor industri diperkirakan akan terus meningkat dengan laju pertumbuhan konsumsi rata-rata 3,3 persen per tahun. "Secara umum serapan domestik pada paruh pertama tahun ini cukup terimbas dampak pandemi Covid-19," kata Direktur Eksekutif APBI Hendra Sinadia di Jakarta, Sabtu (14/11/2020).

APBI memproyeksikan serapan batu bara domestik tahun ini bisa mencapai 120 juta ton atau lebih rendah dari target Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) yang ditetapkan Kementerian ESDM sebanyak 155 juta ton. Mengantisipasi tetap tingginya kebutuhan batu bara tersebut, Perusahaan energi terintegrasi PT ABM Investama Tbk., (ABM) sebagai salah satu produsen batu-bara nasional memberikan dukungan optimal untuk memenuhi kebutuhan energi dalam negeri. ABM juga terus berkomitmen mendukung penyediaan energi kepada PLN dalam memenuhi ketersediaan listrik bagi masyarakat. Kontraksi Permintaan Batu Bara

Sementara untuk menyiasati kontraksi permintaan batu bara ABM mengem-bangkan model bisnis melalui sinergi anak usahanya yang terintegrasi mulai dari pertambangan, transportasi, perawatan alat berat hingga penyediaan bahan bakar. Proses produksi yang efisien tersebut menjadi strategi kunci ABM untuk menjaga kinerja keuangan di tengah pandemi Covid-19.

"Kami akan terus meningkatkan pene-rapan mining value chain, dengan melak-sanakan sinergi antar anak usaha dan fokus ke pengoptimalan produtivitas anak perusahaan, dalam mengantisipasi per-lambatan ekonomi tahun ini," ujar Direktur Utama ABM Investama, Andi Djajanegara, beberapa waktu lalu.

(20)

ABM continues to spur healthy growth of all its subsidiaries, such as adding mining contracts through its subsidiary PT Cipta Kridatama (CK), increasing coal production volume through subsidiary PT Reswara Minergi Hartama (Reswara), and increasing coal reserves by increasing the concession period.

The same thing is done by PT Bukit Asam (Persero) by cooperating with PT Pelindo II to transport its coal production.

In addition, Bukit Asam is also preparing a downstream strategy to increase the added value of coal. The downstream project construction preparation is planned to start in mid-2021 and target operations in 2025. This downstream project is also part of the National Strategic Program as stipulated in Presidential Regulation No. 18/2020.

ABM terus memacu pertumbuhan yang sehat dari seluruh entitas anak usahanya, seperti menambah kontrak pertambangan melalui anak usaha PT Cipta Kridatama (CK), meningkatkan volume produksi batu bara melalui anak usaha PT Reswara Minergi Hartama (Reswara), serta me-ningkatkan cadangan batubara dengan menambah masa konsesi.

Hal yang sama juga dilakukan oleh PT Bukit Asam (Persero) dengan meng-gandeng PT Pelindo II untuk mengangkut hasil produksi batubaranya.

Selain itu, Bukit Asam juga menyiapkan strategi hilirisasi untuk meningkatkan nilai tambah batubara. Persiapan konstruksi proyek hilirisasi direncanakan dimulai pada pertengahan 2021 dan target operasi di 2025. Proyek hilirisasi ini juga sebagai bagian dari Program Strategis Nasional sebagaimana tertuang dalam Peraturan Presiden Nomor 18 Tahun 2020.

A number of projects are

hampered by a pandemic, the

Minister of EMR is targeting 53

mineral smelters in 2024

M

INISTER of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) Arifin Tasrif admitted that the Covid-19 pandemic has hampered the construction of a mineral refining and processing facility (smelter) project. Even so, the ESDM Ministry is still targeting additional new smelters to operate, so that it can reach 53 smelters by 2024.

Sejumlah proyek terhambat

pandemi, Menteri ESDM

targetkan 53 smelter mineral di

2024

M

ENTERI Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif mengakui pandemi covid-19 menghambat pem-bangunan proyek fasilitas pemurnian dan pengolahan (smelter) mineral. Kendati begitu, Kementerian ESDM tetap menar-getkan tambahan smelter baru yang ber-operasi, sehingga bisa mencapai 53 smelter pada tahun 2024.

(21)

Arifin said that until November 2020, there were 18 smelters that had been completed and operated. In addition, there are still 35 smelter units that are still under construction. "It is expected that by 2024, there will be 53 smelters with a total investment of US$ 19.9 billion," said Arifin at the Joint Commission VII DPR RI Working Meeting, Monday (23/11).

He also admitted that the Covid -19 pandemic had hampered the work of the smelter project. There are three obstacles that occur due to the pandemic. First, the delay in the delivery of equipment and the arrival of experts from outside countries. Second, the implementation of the PSBB in Indonesia hinders labor mobilization and logistics. Third, a pending funding agreement. Unfortunately, he did not disclose the number of smelters that had experienced obstacles and were threatened with operating not according to schedule.

Arifin only claimed that the government had facilitated it in an effort to accelerate smelter construction. There were five programs that were explained by Arifin at the Working Meeting. First, hold a meeting with smelter builders to find out the obstacles they are facing.

Second, conducting a one on one meeting between the smelter builder and PT PLN (Persero). Third, compilation of infor-mation on the memo of the smelter construction company to be offered to potential investors and potential lenders. Fourth, holding a one on one meeting and collaboration with MKU Services LLC in Houston, United States in the context of market sounding to find investors. Fifth, coordination with the Coordinating Ministry for the Economy in encouraging the construction of smelters by incorporating them into national strategic projects.

Arifin menyampaikan, hingga November 2020, terdapat 18 smelter yang telah selesai dibangun dan beroperasi. Selain itu, masih ada 35 unit smelter yang masih dalam progres pembangunan. "Diharapkan sampai dengan tahun 2024, akan di-selesaikan menjadi 53 smelter dengan total investasi US$ 19,9 miliar," kata Arifin dalam Rapat Kerja bersama Komisi VII DPR RI, Senin (23/11).

Dia pun mengakui, pandemi covid-19 menghambat pengerjaan proyek smelter. Ada tiga kendala yang terjadi akibat pandemi. Pertama, tertundanya delivery peralatan maupun kedatangan tenaga ahli dari negara luar. Kedua, penerapan PSBB di Indonesia menghambat mobilisasi tenaga kerja dan logistik. Ketiga, kese-pakatan pendanaan yang tertunda. Sayangnya, dia tidak membeberkan berapa jumlah smelter yang mengalami hambatan dan terancam beroperasi tidak sesuai jadwal.

Arifin hanya mengklaim, pemerintah telah melakukan fasilitasi sebagai upaya mem-percepat pembangunan smelter. Ada lima program yang dipaparkan Arifin pada Rapat Kerja tersebut. Pertama, melakukan pertemuan dengan para pembangun

smelter untuk mengetahui kendala yang

dihadapi.

Kedua, melakukan one on one meeting antara pembangun smelter dengan PT PLN (Persero). Ketiga, penyusunan info memo perusahaan pembagunan smelter untuk nantinya ditawarkan kepada para calon investor dan calon pendana.

Keempat, menggelar one on one meeting dan kerjasama dengan MKU Services LLC di Houston, Amerika Serikat dalam rangka

market sounding untuk mencari investor.

Kelima, koordinasi dengan Kemenko Perekonomian dalam mendorong ter-bangunnya smelter dengan memasukkan ke dalam proyek strategis nasional.

(22)

"So that the obstacles faced, especially from the administrative side, can be resolved quickly," said Arifin.

For information, there are six mineral commodities targeted to have smelters. Most of them are in nickel, with 12 existing smelters, and 18 projects that are still on progress. Second, a bauxite smelter with 2 existing smelters and 9 ongoing smelter projects. Third, iron, which currently only has 1 smelter and 3 additional smelters are still being planned.

Fourth, copper, currently there are 2 existing smelters and 2 smelter projects that are still running. The fifth mineral commodity is manganese, which currently has 1 existing smelter, and 1 more smelter project that is currently running. The sixth is the commodity of lead and zinc, which currently has no existing smelters, however there are 2 ongoing smelter projects.

Arifin said that the total investment of the 53 smelters by 2024 will reach US$ 19.94 billion. "The realization until November 2020 is US$ 10.8 billion," he concluded.

"Sehingga kendala-kendala yang dihadapi, terutama dari sisi administrasi bisa dengan cepat terselesaikan," papar Arifin.

Sebagai informasi, ada enam komoditas mineral yang ditargetkan memiliki smelter. Paling banyak ada di komoditas nikel, dengan smelter eksisting sebanyak 12, dan masih ada 18 proyek yang masih on progres. Kedua, smelter bauksit dengan 2

smelter eksisting dan 9 proyek smelter

yang masih berjalan. Ketiga, besi, yang saat ini baru ada 1 smelter dan tambahan 3

smelter lainnya masih dalam rencana.

Keempat, tembaga, saat ini ada 2 smelter eksisting dan 2 proyek smelter yang masih berjalan. Komoditas mineral kelima adalah mangan, yang saat ini ada 1 smelter eksisting, dan masih ada 1 proyek smelter lagi yang sedang berjalan. Keenam adalah komoditas timbal dan seng, yang saat ini belum ada smelter eksisting, namun ada 2 proyek smelter yang sedang berjalan. Arifin menyampaikan, total investasi dari 53 smelter hingga 2024 itu mencapai US$ 19,94 miliar. "Realisasi sampai dengan November 2020 adalah sebesar US$ 10,8 miliar," pungkasnya.

MEMR Arranges Two Derivative

Rules Omnibus Law

M

INISTER of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) Arifin Tasrif explained two Draft Government Regulations (RPP) on the Job Creation Law (Ciptaker) that his ministry is currently discussing.

One of them is the Draft Government Regulation (RPP) on Risk-Based Business Licensing and Monitoring Procedures.

ESDM Susun Dua Aturan

Turunan Omnibus Law

M

ENTERI Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif memaparkan dua Rancangan Peraturan Pemerintah (RPP) Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja (Ciptaker) yang tengah dibahas kementeriannya.

Salah satunya, Rancangan Peraturan Peme-rintah (RPP) Perizinan Berusaha Berbasis Risiko dan Tatacara Pengawasannya.

(23)

Later the regulation will regulate the Norms, Standards, Procedures and Criteria (NSPK) of risk in the EMR sector.

"As a follow-up to the Job Creation Law, the Ministry of EMR is preparing the EMR sector NSPK in the RPP for Risk-Based Business Licensing and Supervision Procedures, together with other ministries and institutions (K/L)," said Arifin in Commission VII of the DPR RI, Monday (23/11).

Arifin also explained that the NSPK was prepared to cover 4 EMR sub-sectors, namely oil and gas (migas), minerals and coal (minerba), electricity and Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (EBTKE). Later, the NSPK regulates several content materials such as business permit applicants, activities and types of business, obligations, procedures or procedures, supervision and imposition of sanctions. "In essence, we want to improve these permits so that they are simpler and easier for entrepreneurs," he added.

Furthermore, the second RPP being discussed contains the Implementers of the Job Creation Law EMR Sector. It contains the regulation of four sub-sectors, namely minerals and coal, electricity and new and renewable energy (EBTKE).

According to Arifin, several provisions that will be further regulated are the exemption of the obligation to pay royalties for coal mining entrepreneurs. This is because the 0 percent royalty for mining companies will only apply if the mining entrepreneurs are able to carry out downstream activities.

Furthermore, Arifin explained that down-streaming requires a large investment. That is why the government exempts royalties so that entrepreneurs who need capital for downstreaming can get it from their released royalty payment obligations.

Nantinya beleid tersebut akan mengatur mengenai Norma, Standar, Prosedur dan Kriteria (NSPK) risiko di sektor ESDM. "Sebagai tindak lanjut UU Cipta Kerja, Kementerian ESDM sedang menyusun NSPK sektor ESDM pada RPP Perizinan Berusaha Berbasis Risiko dan Tatacara Pengawasan, bersama kementerian dan lembaga (K/L) lain," ujar Arifin dalam di Komisi VII DPR RI, Senin (23/11).

Arifin juga menjelaskan NSPK tersebut disusun meliputi 4 subsektor ESDM yaitu minyak dan gas (migas), mineral dan batu bara (minerba), ketenagalistrikan dan Energi Baru Terbarukan dan Konservasi Energi (EBTKE).

Nantinya, NSPK mengatur beberapa materi muatan seperti pemohon perizinan ber-usaha, kegiatan dan jenis ber-usaha, kewajiban, prosedur atau tata cara, pengawasan dan pengenaan sanksi. "Intinya, kami ingin memperbaiki agar izin-izin ini lebih simpel dan memudahkan bagi pengusaha," imbuh-nya.

Selanjutnya, RPP kedua yang tengah di-bahas berisi tentang Pelaksana UU Ciptaker Sektor ESDM. Isinya adalah peng-aturan empat subsektor yakni mineral dan batu bara, ketenagalistrikan serta energi baru dan terbarukan (EBTKE).

Menurut Arifin, beberapa ketentuan yang akan diatur lebih lanjut adalah pem-bebasan kewajiban membayar royalti bagi para pengusaha tambang batubara. Pasal-nya, royalti 0 persen bagi para perusahaan tambang hanya akan berlaku jika para pengusaha tambang tersebut mampu melakukan hilirisasi.

Lebih lanjut, Arifin menjelaskan hilirisasi membutuhkan investasi besar. Karena itu lah pemerintah membebaskan royalti agar para pengusaha yang butuh modal untuk hilirisasi dapat memperolehnya dari kewajiban pem-bayaran royalti mereka yang dibebaskan.
