INDONESIA'S COAL PRICES DOWN ANEW
PLATTS - 03 Sep 2020 - Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources set its September thermal coal reference price -- also known as Harga Batubara Acuan, or HBA -- at $49.42/mt, down 1.8% on the month and down 24.9% on the year.
"China's coal imports slumped 20% during the coronavirus pandemic, Indian seaborne demand remained tepid after the lockdown and both countries have sufficient stockpiles," according to a ministry spokesman.
The ministry had set the price for August at $50.34/mt, and for September 2019 at $65.79/mt.
The HBA is a monthly average price based 25% each on Platts Kalimantan 5,900 kcal/kg GAR assessments, Argus-Indonesia Coal Index 1 (6,500 kcal/kg GAR), Newcastle Export Index (6,322 kcal/kg GAR) and globalCOAL Newcastle (6,000 kcal/kg NAR).
In August, the daily Platts FOB Kalimantan 5,900 kcal/kg GAR coal assessment averaged $45.44/mt, largely stable from $45.47/mt in July.
The HBA price for thermal coal is the basis for determining the prices of 77 Indonesian coal products and calculating the amount royalty producers have to pay for each metric ton of coal sold.
It is based on 6,322 kcal/kg GAR coal with 8% total moisture content, 15% ash as received and 0.8% sulfur as received.

RUSSIA'S NUCLEAR FOR CLIMATE CHANGE
Russia has 36 nuclear power units in operation and three new ones under construction. In March, Russia's Ministry for Economic Development published a draft strategy for low-carbon development to 2050. The strategy's basic scenario would see nuclear output grow from 203 TWh in 2017 to 225 TWh in 2030 and 260 TWh in 2050. State nuclear corporation Rosatom's foreign orders include 36 units, which are at various stages of implementation.
