Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) Regulation No. 25 of 2018 aims to ensure the domestic availability of coal and minerals, support national energy and economic resilience and stabilise commodity prices. It applies to both coal and mineral mining permit holders (production operation mining business licenses or IUP and special mining business licenses IUPK), including those involved in processing, refining, transportation and sales.

Key provisions include:

Mining companies must prioritise domestic demand before exporting.

The specific DMO levels (e.g., percentage of production allocated to domestic market) are not fixed in the regulation but are determined annually by the MEMR.

MEMR may also regulate types and quantities of minerals required for domestic use.

To implement these provisions:

Annual MEMR decrees set DMO quotas and price caps (e.g., MEMR Decree No. 72.K/MB.01/MEM.B/2025 on the sale of metal minerals and coal).

Export approvals are contingent on meeting DMO obligations.

While not a price regulation, this policy is complementary to Indonesia's metal domestic price regulation policies.

The U.S. Army Just Called China’s Bluff in the Rare Earth War

Just recently, in a span of about six weeks, one impressive company was selected by the U.S. Army to build and operate rare earth processing facilities on an American military base…the first time the Army has ever done this. That same company closed $100 million in institutional financing, giving it a war chest of roughly $130 million. It was also formally added to the Russell 3000 Index. And it locked in MOU’s for feedstock agreements covering billions of tonnes of rare earth-bearing material from sources across Wyoming, Appalachia…

Oil Prices Ignore the Warning Signs in Physical Markets

Oil price movements since the start of March this year have become the topic of dozens of discussions. Many have been puzzled by futures prices and why they haven’t gone through the roof given the severe disruption in Middle Eastern supply. It appears the reason is sheer optimism and a bet on market adaptability. However, there is a problem with that. Adaptability has limits. Many commentators like to compare the current oil price—and supply—situation to 2022, when Russia’s incursion into eastern Ukraine prompted an actual…

The World’s Largest Sand Battery Is Now Online

Modern power grids require a constant, real-time balance between supply and consumption. Unfortunately, the integration of wind and solar energy makes power grids unstable due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy generation. To prevent localized grid blackouts or harmful voltage spikes, utilities are increasingly pairing renewables with battery storage and/or rapid-response natural gas plants to smooth out fluctuating supply. However, Finland has now come up with a rather eccentric method to store excess renewable energy and release it…

Refined Fuels, Not Crude, Are Driving the Oil Market Crunch

Oil prices have just come off a fresh two-month high as the crude oil market has tumbled this week amid signals of de-escalation in the U.S.-Iran conflict. Despite the slump in crude prices and the extreme volatility in the past five months, the refined product market continues to tighten with refining margins at record highs because the supply of petroleum products is much tighter than crude supply. Refining margins held at record highs even as crude oil prices soared last week to $100 per barrel. That’s because global gasoline, diesel,…
