Low GCV coal import ban
According to reports from medias and Platts, China's National Energy Administration is considering a proposal to ban the import of coal with calorific value on NAR basis below 4540 kcal/kg.

The media reports are further saying that, if the ban materialized,  then it would favor Australian, US, Russian and Colombian coal producers who used to produce higher GCV coal. In other hand, the Indonesian coal producers will get hit heavily as majority of Indonesian coal productions are categorized as lower calorific value coal, and the majority of low GCV coal also depends on India and China market. Indonesian domestic market is able consume only around 80 million tons of coal per annum.

According to banks and coal industry analysis, Indonesia is currently exporting at least 50 million tons of low GCV coal per annum to China. If the China’s National Energy Administration go-ahead with its plan to ban coal with calorific value below 4540 kcal/kg on NAR basis, then Indian coal consumers will enjoy a low-price coal from Indonesia. 

In the meantime, if Chinese proposed ban implemented, then it would put pressure on Indonesia's low GCV coal producers, specifically small-scale coal producers. It will also put pressure on high GCV coal consumers, as higher GCV coal prices will move stronger than now. 

"If Chinese ban executed, this legislation could be the market-changing catalyst thermal coal has been desperately seeking," Macquarie said, as quoted by medias.

Low GCV coal export  ban?
However, market doesn't know how Indonesian government will react on this ban proposal, as Indonesia also drafted a regulation during 2nd half of 2011 to ban the export of coal with calorific value below 5700 on GAD basis by 12 January 2014.  The regulation was suspended or delayed due to protest from Indonesian low calorific value coal producers.  According to mining law 4/2009 and subsequent regulations, unprocessed or the coal that not added any value will be banned by 12 January 2014 for export.

If China executes its ban, then indirectly the regulation may help the Indonesian government to implement its original plan to ban low GCV coal exports.
