Aa BukitAsam & Press Release Collaboration with UGM, Bukit Asam (PTBA) Develops Coal into Humic Acid Indragiri Hulu, December 17, 2024 - PT Bukit Asam Tbk (PTBA) collaborated with Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) conducted a research and development (R&D) program to convert low-calorific value coal into humic acid. The launch of the humic acid prototype took place at IUP Peranap in Indragiri Hulu, Riau, on Thursday, December 12, 2024. This prototype will be further developed into a pilot project. Humic acid is an organic substance (fertilizer) that can help to fertilize and improve soil guality by enhancing structure, retaining moisture, and aiding plants in absorbing nutrients more effectively. Arsal Ismail, President Director of PT Bukit Asam Tbk (PTBA), stated that PTBA continues its transformation to become a world-class energy company that cares for the environment. Hence, it needs to develop more innovations on energy downstreaming to encounter the future challenges. “The research and development of converting coal into humic acid is one of our efforts to provide derivative products of coal, which is align with the government's policy to encourage downstream industries to increase added value domestically,” said Arsal Ismail. Arsal also added that the downstream development of coal into humic acid supports the government's current priority of achieving food self-sufficiency. The development of coal into humic acid will help meet fertilizer needs and support national food security to bring continuous energy to Indonesian young generations. “This humic acid prototype is the beginning of a long journey towards developing high-value-added products. We are optimistic that this innovation will provide significant benefits not only economically but also for improving the welfare of society and supporting sustainable development,” he said. Prof. Dr. Ferian Anggara, Coordinator of the Research Team from UGM, mentioned that initial research results showed that low-calorific value coal from IUP Peranap can produce high-guality humic acid. “Humic acid produced from low-calorific value coal can improve soil fertility, stabilize, and restore soil guality. By producing humic acid, we can utilize critical lands. We can adjust the composition of humic acid to enhance nutrient content and optimize soil pH,” he explained.

Aa BukitAsam & Ferian also expressed hope that the collaboration between PTBA and UGM would lead to innovations that expand the utilization of coal and improve the welfare of the community. "We hope that the innovations we create will maximize the use of Indonesia's vast coal resources for the prosperity of the Indonesian people," he concluded. The launch of the humic acid prototype was attended by Dahlia, VP of Downstream Development at PTBA, Yulfaizon B Dahlioes, GM of PTBA Ombilin Mining Unit: Ayi Ruhiat Sukartin, Coordinator of Coal Commercial Relations at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources: Ginanjar Rahmat, Senior Media Researcher at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Yusri Erdi, Head of Peranap Subdistrict, SVP IFRI PT Pupuk Indonesia, represented by Wahyudi: SVP Business Transformation of PT Pupuk Sriwidjaja, represented by Virlianda Sysmita and Ari Widiastuti: members of the Musyawarah Pimpinan Kecamatan (Muspika), and other invited guests. For further information, please contact: Niko Chandra Corporate Secretary PT Bukit Asam Tbk nchandra@bukitasam.co.id www.ptba.co.id Overview of PT Bukit Asam Tbk PT Bukit Asam Tbk (PTBA), is a leading Indonesian state-owned mining company (BUMN) which is also a group of MIND ID. PTBA was founded in 1981. The company's core business focuses on coal mining, processing and trading. PTBA operates several coal mines in Sumatra, producing various types of coal, including rare high-guality sub- bituminous and bituminous coal. In 2002, PTBA became a public company and was listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange. With a commitment to sustainable practices and environmental responsibility, PTBA is developing its energy portfolio by investing in renewable energy sources. This company plays an important role in maintaining the stability of national energy security in terms of providing coal for both domestic power plants and export markets, which contributes significantly to the energy sector and the Indonesian economy. PTBA is also a pioneer in ethical standards by becoming the first state-owned company in the energy sector to implement ISO 37001:2016 Anti- Bribery Management
