Will Indonesia be able to produce a nickel battery in ?
There are several nickel processing projects in the pipeline in Indonesia, and they will be key to future global nickel supply for batteries, at least in the near term. The first three plants started (trial) production in .
Which companies are investing in cobalt & nickel in Indonesia?
Furthermore, companies such as CATL, LG Energy Solutions, Tsingshan, BASF, Zhejian Huayou Cobalt, and Posco have all announced plans to invest in manufacturing facilities that will process and refine nickel and cobalt and produce cathode active materials and precursors in Indonesia.
Is Indonesia supplying half of global nickel needs?
The Energy Shift Institute (Energy Shift) is of the view that Indonesia’s share of global battery production capacity is far out of step with its dominance in supplying half of global nickel needs. This observation should not come as a surprise to industry insiders as nickel is only one among many determinants of battery and EV production.
Why did Indonesia ban nickel smelting & refining in ?
These batteries power leading EV brands like Tesla, BYD, and CATL, making nickel a sought-after commodity in the global clean energy transition. Recognizing this, the Indonesian government banned raw nickel ore exports in , forcing foreign companies to invest in smelting and refining facilities within Indonesia.
Indonesia’s Battery Industrial Strategy
There has been a revival of the LFP battery, which is cheaper than nickel-rich batteries and does not contain nickel or cobalt. An EV buyer in a middle-income country such
0.4% of global battery production capacity: Indonesia’s
Indonesia can become a key battery and EV production base in Southeast Asia, but in the current trajectory, the country is unlikely to meet the promise of leveraging its nickel resources to reach

A group of Thai and Indonesia banks provided the funding as part of a seven-year loan. The total cost of the project is around $1.8 billion. Merdeka said the plant is
Indonesia’s Resource Nationalism: Nickel, EV Batteries, and
Indonesia’s resource nationalism has transformed it into a global nickel powerhouse and a rising force in EV battery manufacturing. The country’s bold policies have
Chinese battery tech dominance reshapes Indonesia’s
The LGES withdrawal is emblematic of larger shifts in EV battery technology and global supply chain power dynamics. In Asia, Chinese automakers have increasingly adopted LFP batteries, which are free of nickel,
Policy Brief Accelerating Battery Supply Chain for RE and EV
However, despite Indonesia’s wealth of mineral resources, a clear mismatch remains between current battery production capacity and projected national demand. For example, assuming the
Life-cycle analysis, by global region, of automotive lithium-ion nickel
In this study, we examined how transitioning to higher‑nickel, lower-cobalt, and high-performance automotive lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) lithium-ion
Battery : Resilient, sustainable, and circular
Battery : Resilient, sustainable, and circular Battery demand is growing—and so is the need for better solutions along the value chain.
Cobalt Market Report
Cobalt is used in nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM), lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) and nickel cobalt al-uminium oxide (NCA) chemistries – mid nickel NCM overtook LCO as the primary driver of
The future of electric vehicles & battery chemistry
Battery technology has evolved significantly in recent years. Thirty years ago, when the first lithium ion (Li-ion) cells were commercialized, they mainly included lithium cobalt oxide as cathode material. Numerous other
