Coal Steam Boilers vs. Gas Boilers: Which is Better for Indonesia?

Coal Steam Boilers vs. Gas Boilers: Which is Better for Indonesia?

In choosing between coal fired boilers and gas fired boilers suitable for Indonesia, a number of factors need to be considered, including local resources, environmental impact, operating costs, and technological maturity.


Indonesia is the world's fourth largest coal reserves, mainly in Sumatra and Kalimantan islands.

Indonesia's anthracite coal accounts for 0.36% of the total reserves, bituminous coal accounts for 14.38%, sub-bituminous coal accounts for 26.63%, and lignite accounts for 58.63%. Most of Indonesia's coals are characterized by high moisture, low ash, low sulfur, and high volatility. The calorific value of sub-bituminous coal is 5700-7200kcal/kg, the volatile matter is 37%-42.15%, and the low sulfur is 0.1%-0.85%; the calorific value of lignite is 4345-5830kcal/kg, the volatile matter is 24.1%-48.8%, and the sulfur is 0.1%-0.85%. The calorific value of lignite is 4345-5830kcal/kg, volatile matter 24.1%-48.8%, and sulfur 0.1%-0.75%.


In choosing between coal fired boilers and gas fired boilers suitable for Indonesia, a number of factors need to be considered, including local resources, environmental impacts, operating costs, and technological maturity. However, the characteristics of Indonesian coal (high volatile matter, high moisture, low ash, and low calorific value) pose a challenge to the operation of coal-fired boilers.


On the other hand, gas-fired boilers are widely used in Indonesia.


Considering the environmental requirements and future trends, gas fired boilers may be more advantageous. Although there is currently a high demand for coal-fired boilers in Indonesia, gas-fired boilers are gaining attention due to their lower pollutant emissions as global awareness of environmental protection increases. In addition, the Indonesian government is also promoting green energy production, which further supports the growth prospects of gas-fired boilers.


Although coal fired boilers have their unique advantages and application cases in Indonesia, gas-fired boilers have more development potential and adaptability in Indonesia considering environmental requirements and future trends. Therefore, in the long run, gas fired boilers are more suitable for Indonesia's development needs.
