parameter value that does not take into account • As received (AR): coal surface water content The value of the total coal parameter that takes into account the content of air, according to the circumstances when taken in • Ash content: the field. • Bituminous: amount of residue from coal combustion • Caloric value: a type of coal with lower quality than anthracite • Conveyor belts: an amount of heat produced from coal combustion continuously-moving strip of rubber that are used to • Coal reserve: move or transport goods or materials horizontally or at an angle. a part of coal deposits with known dimensions, quantity distribution, and quality, which at the time of feasibility assessment is • Coal resource: declared eligible to be mined. part of coal deposits that are expected to be utilized. It is divided based on the level of geological confidence determined qualitatively by geological conditions complexity and quantitatively by the distance of the point of information. This resource can be increased to • Cooking coal: reserve if after a feasibility study is declared feasible. a type of coal that is used to make coke in steel and iron • Deadweight tonnage (DWT): production industry. a measure of how much weight a ship can • Fixed carbon: carry. an amount of carbon left after coal combustion, after • Lignite: volatile matter is eliminated a type of coal with the lowest quality, characterized by low calorie • Metallurgical process: and high water content a process that is used for the extraction of metals in their pure form. Low Carbon Development of South Sumatra Has the Potential to be Hampered by Low Quality Coal Investment v Glossary • Non-vegetation areas: a region that is not covered by green leaves • Open-pit mining: including settlements, bodies of water (rivers and lakes), or mining areas. surface mining technique of extracting rock or minerals from the Earth by their removal from an open-air pit. This form of mining • Steaming coal: differs from extractive methods that require tunneling into the earth. • Sub-bituminous a type of coal commonly used to move power plant turbine. : a type of coal with caloric value 4,165 – 5,700 kcal/kg • Supercritical: and water content 10-35 percent. one of boiler technology used in coal power plant with • Total moisture: higher efficiency than subcritical. • Vegetation area: water content inside coal based on field condition. a region that can be forests, plantations, rice fields, or • Volatile matter: other areas covered with green leaves. a measure of the non-water gases formed from a coal sample during heating.

However, compared to the two provinces in Kalimantan, South Sumatra's coal production is lower. This is certainly conducive to making room for the development of renewable energy, thus contributing to the reduction of regional, national and global greenhouse gas emissions. However, currently the development of infrastructure and coal utilization in South Sumatra is very intensive. This can be seen from the improvement of railways, the construction of mine-mouth power plants, and other downstreaming agendas such as coal gasification programs. This is certainly worrying for the goal of achieving low- carbon development in South Sumatra Province.
