2026 Indonesia Coal Outlook Conference
The 2026 Indonesia Coal Outlook Conference stands as the premier annual gathering for Indonesia's coal industry, bringing together C-suite executives, government officials, international buyers, and strategic investors to navigate the complex landscape of global coal markets and Indonesia's evolving energy policies. As the world's fourth-largest coal producer, Indonesia occupies a critical position in global energy security while balancing domestic industrial growth, export competitiveness, and regulatory compliance in an increasingly dynamic market environment.
This landmark event provides an essential strategic forum for industry leaders to address the most pressing challenges facing Indonesia's coal sector: adapting to shifting demand patterns from major markets like China and India, optimizing production strategies across Sumatra and Kalimantan operations, and capitalizing on growing domestic industrial demand from Indonesia's expanding smelting and downstream processing sectors. The conference delivers actionable insights on navigating the country's evolving regulatory framework, including Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) compliance, export policies, and downstreaming requirements.
The conference focuses on foundational market dynamics, policy directions, and operational strategies that will shape Indonesia's coal industry through 2026. Participants will gain direct access to government policy makers outlining Indonesia's latest coal regulations and energy security priorities, while engaging with CEOs from leading coal companies sharing their strategies for production growth, infrastructure development, and market adaptation. The program examines critical market intelligence on price volatility, risk management, and evolving trade patterns with key buyers in China, India, and emerging ASEAN markets.
The conference addresses Indonesia's unique position in both thermal and metallurgical coal markets, exploring opportunities in coking coal production, coke manufacturing, and value-added processing. Industry experts will provide comprehensive market outlooks, examining supply-demand fundamentals, geopolitical factors, and the implications of global energy transition policies on Indonesian coal exports. Sessions on diversification strategies beyond coal, infrastructure partnerships, and domestic market development ensure participants understand both current opportunities and future growth pathways.
Through high-level keynote presentations, executive panel discussions, and targeted networking opportunities, the 2026 Indonesia Coal Outlook Conference serves as the definitive platform for strategic decision-making, business development, and industry collaboration in Indonesia's coal sector.
