The second Nickel Producers, Processors & Buyers Conference is an exciting opportunity to explore Indonesia’s nickel industry future: supply, demand, and the EV industry.
As the world is moving towards electric vehicles and nickel becomes a key component of EV batteries, Indonesia - home to the world's largest nickel reserves -- is poised to become a major player in the global EV battery supply chain.
Recent developments have added to the growing optimism surrounding Indonesia's potential in the global EV battery market.
Noteworthy initiatives include Harita Nickel's plans for nickel sulfate and cobalt sulfate production, strategic collaborations between global players such as Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Co., Ford Motor Co, LG Energy Solutions, Hyundai Motor Group, and Contemporary Amperex Co Ltd (CATL) with local Indonesian companies in the EV battery industry.
Additionally, Ford Motor Co, PT Vale Indonesia, and China's Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt have entered into a significant investment agreement to construct a high-pressure acid leaching (HPAL) smelter in Pomalaa, Southeast Sulawesi, with a staggering investment of US$4.5 billion.
Nickel Industries Ltd's investments in nickel smelters further exemplify the growing interest in the EV battery sector, with their Excelsior Nickel Cobalt project poised to produce nickel sulfate and nickel cathode.
These developments are a sign of the growing interest in EV battery development and the potential of Indonesia to become a major player in this market.
The conference will explore the latest developments in nickel mining, processing, and battery manufacturing. It will also discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the nickel industry, and how to create a sustainable future.
The conference will also delve into the Indonesian government's regulatory update on the nickel industry, including fiscal incentives and investmentopportunities designed to foster the growth of the nickel industry and the domestic integrated EV industry.
Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to be a part of Indonesia's bright future in the EV battery industry!
The conference will:
- Provide an overview of the global nickel industry, including the market size, demand, and supply.
- Discuss the latest developments in nickel mining, processing, and battery manufacturing in Indonesia.
- Explore the challenges and opportunities facing the nickel industry, including the importance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) in the industry, and how companies can adopt responsible and sustainable mining practices.
- Examine the Indonesian government's regulatory update on the nickel industry.
- Provide insights into the future of the nickel industry and the EV battery market.
