AEI’s main business pillar, Adaro Mining, contributed approximately 96% of its revenue in 2021. PT Adaro Indonesia, the largest subsidiary, produces and sells coal trademarked as Envirocoal, to signify the environmental quality of low pollutant content of the coal. Currently, Envirocoal is offered with five different types of calorific values, from 4,000 kcal/kg to 5,000 kcal/kg gross as received (GAR). In 2021, AI sold 47.5 Mt of coal.
In 2011, Adaro established a presence in South Sumatra by acquiring two coal concessions, PT Mustika Indah Permai (MIP) and PT Bukit Enim Energi (BEE). In 2021, MIP produced 2 Mt of coal, 53% higher y-o-y, and it sold 1.8 Mt of coal in 2021, 41% higher y-o-y. MIP’s coal has low-pollutant traits with relatively low sulfur and ash content.
In 2018, AEI added Kestrel coal mine (Kestrel) into the Adaro Mining pillar, a step to include coking coal in the product portfolio and diversify locations to Australia. AEI’s ownership in Kestrel is through Adaro Capital Pte Ltd, which owns 48% of the acquired stake from Rio Tinto, while the remaining 52% belongs to EMR Capital. In 2021, AEI marked another milestone for this pillar by listing PT Adaro Minerals Indonesia (AMI) through an initial public offering (IPO) on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The IPO received high interests from investors and was 179x oversubscribed during pooling.
AMI’s subsidiaries produce metallurgical coal and it is the first and only hard coking coal (HCC) producer in Indonesia to date.For 2022, AEI is guiding coal production volume of 58 Mt to 60 Mt, or higher than 52 Mt to 54 Mt target of 2021.
