Strategy for technology energy selection to achieve coal value added in PT. Bukit Asam (Persero), Tbk.,

The role of coal in providing national energy has already increased nowadays, and still taking an important subject. Government obligation to support added value is not really encourage industry player to applied technology energy that has been developed widenly in South Africa, China and others developing country.
