- Abstract
East Java is the second largest province which contributes to the national Gross Regional Domestic Product, which is around 14.57% in 2020. The processing industry sector contributes almost 31%. So, it can be concluded that the processing industry is the main economic pillar of East Java. The mineral processing (smelter) industry is one of the processing industries that have high revenue potential. A smelter industry requires several main raw materials, namely ore, fuel, and additives. East Java has abundant mineral potential, especially dolomite, limestone, and iron sand. East Java is a province that is relatively ready for the development of the smelter industries. East Java has the largest installed power plant in Indonesia. With so many coal-based power plants, more fly ash is produced. Fly ash is currently known to have the potential for Rare Earth Elements (REE). The REE can be used for renewable energy materials. Thus, with the increasing demand for energy and environmentally friendly transportation, East Java has the potential to become the center of the REE extraction industry from fly ash sources. In addition, East Java also has adequate infrastructure, has many cement industries that can utilize slag, and close to the market. There are multiplier effects for business processes in the development and operation of the smelting industry, starting from the investment stage, smelting operations, and sales. In the future, East Java has potential to become a smelter industry center for Eastern Indonesia as well as a center for REE extraction from coal fly ash.
