The production of it in the country fell down by 17 % to 42 million tonnes to January 2021. This fell down in production due to impact of strong monsoon season which affect the loading activities. Country thinking to export their products to the growing countries. like India and other Southeast Asian countries but country has suffered because it has tough competion with the Russian countries and Australia.Competion is also valid because it is the most energy source for electricity production.

It is also play an important role as a fuel in the production of steel and cement. The factor through which production of more electricity happened because of the support of government and government.

And also, there is presence of large drives in Indonesia which drive the growth of energy production and tend to raise the export business. However, it raised and shift toward alternative source of energy such as natural gas, Renewable source to generate power.

These all factor help in the growth of this country. It also affects the export business market due to effect of covid-19.

1.Demand for Bituminous has increased to raise the Indonesian market during the forecast period.

2.The increasing demand of it export business expected to raise this industry of this market during the forecast period.

Regarding the reserve in Indonesia, Indonesia holds 6th rank globally in exporting business. It also holds 3891 million tons of coal as per 2019 stastical report. As the stastical report of 2019 it is said that 70% of Asia total total of this reserve contains Anthracite and Bituminous.

It also contains 30% of bituminous source. Power station used for the production of electricity by using  burning uses efficient number of cheap fuels also they are highly energy efficient and also contain low amount of Sulphur to reduce the production of greenhouse gases emission.

The production leads toward lower energy and cheaper production of energy. In 2019 the report said that Indonesian electricity generation rose to 279.1 TWH, but it is also expected that the production of electricity has increased in coming years.

Sub-Bituminous has witnessed their role in growing power generation and meeting demand of energy production and help to raise the Indonesia economy toward growth. As we know this country is a big reserve of natural resources because of this the energy demand is high.

This help in raising Indonesian economy growth. This country is from one of the top most in the world of production and exporter having production 616 million tons. Indonesian geographical area has created lots of opportunity in China and India for cheap fuels and low quality.

 This export business hit a historical target maximum in 2019 but hopefully it is expected to break the record in 2021.
