Fuellingthis growth is the increasing demand for energy.TheASEAN Centre for Energy projected thatenergy demand will increase threefold from 2005levels,reaching 1,281 Mtoe by 2050-withelectricity consumption growing at an averageannual rate of 4.4%. environmentalconsiderations,andsocio-economicdevelopment goals outlined in theUnited Nations Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs). We extend our gratitude to FutureCoalfor their invaluable collaboration in shaping thisreport. This report highlights coal's pivotal role invarious aspects. Firstly, coal acts as a transitionalenergysource,aiding the shift to cleanertechnologieswhile considering environmentaland social goals in the UN SDGs. Moreover, coalplaysa crucial role in economic growth,infrastructuredevelopment,and governmentrevenuegeneration,supportingessentialservices and improving living conditions. Coal mining and power development have beenpivotal in ensuring ASEAN citizens have accesstoaffordable,reliable,and modern energyservices. Coal capacity in the power sector atthe ASEAN level was 84.1 GW in 2020 and by2040 was expected to increase by about 250%.Even in energy systems that are transitioning to ahigher share of RE, coal fleets are still expectedto play a role as a source of flexible and securegeneration. As we navigate the complexities of sustainabledevelopment, it is crucial to acknowledge coal'sstrategicimportance and broader economiccontributions. We hope the insights presented will serve as avaluableresource for policymakers,industrystakeholders,and communities as we worktowards a just and inclusive future. Moreover, for developing countries, particularlythose that export coal, this resource is vital foreconomicgrowth.Coal exports still providerevenuethatsupportsinfrastructuredevelopment,social services,and improvedliving conditions. Additionally, the coal industrygeneratessignificant job opportunities andcontributesto economic stability,reinforcingenergy security where alternatives are limited. Asmandated by Annual Milestones from theregion's energy blueprint document- the ASEANPlan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC)PhaseII:2021-2025,ASEAN still aims toenhance public awareness and image of CCT. Inthis regard, this report explores how the coalvalue chain would continue to have a role in thecontext of global energy demands, Beni Suryadi ForewordForeword TheASEAN region has seen remarkableeconomic progress and industrialisation in recentyearsand is poised to become the world’sfourth-largest single market by 2030. Atits core it is about enabling nations toestablisha modern and sustainable coalecosystemwhich fosters efficiency,saferworking practices, lower environmental impacts,including emissions abatement and less waste,through investment and cooperation. A key driver of this growth has been coal, whichhasplayed an essential role in poweringeconomicexpansion,generating revenue,andfunding vital services like healthcare, education,andtransportation—all critical for improvingliving standards and reducing poverty. This report outlines, coal's contribution to socio-economic development, reaffirming a critical rolein the ASEAN.It is a reminder that economicdevelopmentand addressing global climateexpectationsarenotmutuallyexclusive.‘Responsible’investment needs to adopt abalancedand neutral all fuels and alltechnologiesapproachparticularly amongemerging and developing countries,where coalsupportssustainable development within andbeyond the ASEAN.The practice of respect andcollaboration can only advance our shared goalsanddrive progress toward a modernised andtechnology led global coal value chain.
