Abstract

The 1973 oil crisis and the increased domestic oil consumption during the 1970s made Indonesia aware of the vulnerability of its petroleum-based economy. Since oil—a limited energy resource—had formed the main source of foreign exchange earnings for decades, a policy of diversification of energy away from oil was imperative in order to meet the increasing energy demand in the country, while saving the valuable commodity for export purposes. An ambitious program to develop other energy resources, in particular coal, started with the rehabilitation and expansion of the two state-owned coal-mines in Sumatra. The coal produced was expected to fuel the newly built coal-fired power plants and the expanding cement industry.
