據(jù)能源經(jīng)濟3月10日消息稱，印尼能源部一位高級官員周二表示，由于該國尋求加大煤炭氣化的努力，預(yù)計到2025年，該國的液化石油氣(LPG)進口將比目前的數(shù)字減少6倍。

該部煤炭主管Sujatmiko在一次虛擬會議上說，該國的液化石油氣進口量將從2020年的610萬噸下降到2025年的100萬噸。

預(yù)計到2030年，印度尼西亞將完全停止進口液化石油氣。

Sujatmiko說：“我們對LPG的需求一直在增長，我國LPG消費量的75％至78％是通過進口來滿足的。”

作為全球最大的動力煤出口國，該國長期以來一直承諾削減液化石油氣進口，同時優(yōu)化國內(nèi)煤炭資產(chǎn)的使用，并在下游煤炭行業(yè)創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機會。

根據(jù)上個月的一項新總統(tǒng)規(guī)定，煤氣化是“優(yōu)先”投資清單的一部分，該清單提供了稅收減免或稅收優(yōu)惠等激勵措施。Sujatmiko表示，預(yù)計到2025年，

Sujatmiko表示，印尼預(yù)計到2025年二甲醚(DME)產(chǎn)量將達到456萬噸。DME是一種以煤炭為原料的液化石油氣替代品。到2030年，這一數(shù)字將增至689萬噸。

但是，行業(yè)專家去年表示，除非對二甲醚的生產(chǎn)提供補貼，否則政府應(yīng)尋求其他減少液化石油氣消費的方法。

Indonesia LPG imports to fall sharply by 2025

Indonesia's imports of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are expected to decline by six times in 2025 from current numbers, as the country seeks to ramp up its coal gasification efforts, a top energy ministry official said on Tuesday.

The country's LPG imports would decline from 6.1 million tonnes in 2020 to just 1 million tonnes in 2025, Sujatmiko, the ministry's director of coal, told a virtual conference.

By 2030, Indonesia is projected to stop importing LPG altogether.

"Our LPG needs are ever increasing, 75 per cent to 78 per cent of our LPG consumption in the country is fulfilled by imports," said Sujatmiko, who goes by one name.

The world's top exporter of thermal coal has long promised to cut LPG imports while optimising use of domestic coal assets, and creating jobs in a downstream coal industry.

Under a new presidential regulation last month, coal gasification features on a "priority" investment list, which offers incentives such as tax allowances or tax breaks.

Indonesia is expected to produce 4.56 million tonnes on dimethyl ether (DME), the LPG substitute derived from coal, in 2025, Sujatmiko said. This will increase to 6.89 million tonnes in 2030.

Industry experts, however, said last year that unless the production of DME is subsidised, the government should look at other ways to cut consumption of LPG.
