PT BUKIT ASAM TBK PT Bukit Asam Tbk (PTBA), Mining Industry Holding Member MIND ID has implemented Good Mining Practice with decarbonization programs, including through Eco Mechanized Mining, which is to replace mining equipment that uses fossil fuels with electricity. Currently PTBA has operated 7 units of Electric Shovels (PC3000-6E), 40 units of Hybrid Dump Trucks (Belaz-75135), and 6 electric-based Mining Pumps.

Reduction of carbon emissions is estimated to reach 16 tons of CO2/year/bus. In addition, the use of electric buses reduces the use of fuel oil (BBM) up to 9,672 liters/year/bus.
Not only using electricity-based vehicles and mining equipment, PTBA also continues to undertake a number of programs to reduce carbon emissions, including through land reclamation, replacing ozone depleting substances with other environmentally friendly materials, the Mine Mouth Power Plant Cofiring Pilot Project in South Sumatra, and others.
