This study identifies the potential economic advantages and environmental/social aspects of three different scenarios for coal slurry pipelines as an alternative to current truck haulage system in a mine in Indonesia. The developed financial model indicates that the trucks system still gives higher economic benefit compared to the three slurry pipeline scenarios tested. Nevertheless, the study results argue that there can generally be economic and environmental advantages when using coal slurry pipelines as an alternative transportation system in other countries. Hence, this study serves as a comparative analysis for when considering alternative coal transportation methods, taking into account diverse parameters.

本研究确定了煤浆管道作为印度尼西亚矿山当前卡车运输系统的替代方案的三种不同方案的潜在经济优势和环境/社会方面。开发的财务模型表明，与测试的三种泥浆管道场景相比，卡车系统仍然具有更高的经济效益。尽管如此，研究结果认为，在其他国家使用煤浆管道作为替代运输系统时，通常具有经济和环境优势。因此，本研究可作为考虑替代煤炭运输方法时的比较分析，同时考虑到不同的参数。
