Tesis ini membahas mengenai implikasi pemberlakuan ketentuan Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) pada investasi pertambangan batubara di Indonesia. Pemerintah menetapkan kebijakan Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) batubara, kebijakan itu tertuang dalam Peraturan Menteri ESDM Nomor 34 Tahun 2009. Konsekuensinya, setiap perusahaan memiliki kewajiban untuk menjual batubara yang diproduksinya berdasarkan persentase minimal penjualan batubara yang ditetapkan oleh Menteri dan harus dicantumkan dalam perjanjian jual beli batubara antara badan usaha pertambangan mineral dan batubara dengan pemakai batubara. Ketentuan DMO memberikan dampak positif yaitu jaminan ketersediaan batubara untuk kegiatan industri dan pasar dalam negeri. Namun juga memberikan dampak negatif karena pembatasan ekspor tidak mencakup batubara kalori rendah. Batubara seharusnya dilihat sebagai komoditas energi yang digunakan untuk menggerakkan pertumbuhan industri dan ekonomi. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian hukum normatif dan deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembatasan ekspor batubara berkaitan dengan amanat undang-undang energi, bahwa sudah merupakan kewajiban negara untuk menjamin ketersediaan pasokan energi di dalam negeri guna mendukung terciptanya ketahanan dan kemandirian energi nasional yang merupakan pilar penting bagi ketahanan ekonomi.
