据能源经济3月10日消息称，印尼能源部一位高级官员周二表示，由于该国寻求加大煤炭气化的努力，预计到2025年，该国的液化石油气(LPG)进口将比目前的数字减少6倍。
该部煤炭主管Sujatmiko在一次虚拟会议上说，该国的液化石油气进口量将从2020年的610万吨下降到2025年的100万吨。
预计到2030年，印度尼西亚将完全停止进口液化石油气。
Sujatmiko说：“我们对LPG的需求一直在增长，我国LPG消费量的75％至78％是通过进口来满足的。”
作为全球最大的动力煤出口国，该国长期以来一直承诺削减液化石油气进口，同时优化国内煤炭资产的使用，并在下游煤炭行业创造就业机会。
根据上个月的一项新总统规定，煤气化是“优先”投资清单的一部分，该清单提供了税收减免或税收优惠等激励措施。Sujatmiko表示，预计到2025年，
Sujatmiko表示，印尼预计到2025年二甲醚(DME)产量将达到456万吨。DME是一种以煤炭为原料的液化石油气替代品。到2030年，这一数字将增至689万吨。
但是，行业专家去年表示，除非对二甲醚的生产提供补贴，否则政府应寻求其他减少液化石油气消费的方法。

Indonesia LPG imports to fall sharply by 2025
Indonesia's imports of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are expected to decline by six times in 2025 from current numbers, as the country seeks to ramp up its coal gasification efforts, a top energy ministry official said on Tuesday.
The country's LPG imports would decline from 6.1 million tonnes in 2020 to just 1 million tonnes in 2025, Sujatmiko, the ministry's director of coal, told a virtual conference.
By 2030, Indonesia is projected to stop importing LPG altogether.
"Our LPG needs are ever increasing, 75 per cent to 78 per cent of our LPG consumption in the country is fulfilled by imports," said Sujatmiko, who goes by one name.
The world's top exporter of thermal coal has long promised to cut LPG imports while optimising use of domestic coal assets, and creating jobs in a downstream coal industry.
Under a new presidential regulation last month, coal gasification features on a "priority" investment list, which offers incentives such as tax allowances or tax breaks.
Indonesia is expected to produce 4.56 million tonnes on dimethyl ether (DME), the LPG substitute derived from coal, in 2025, Sujatmiko said. This will increase to 6.89 million tonnes in 2030.
Industry experts, however, said last year that unless the production of DME is subsidised, the government should look at other ways to cut consumption of LPG.
