The graphs from Toronto-based EV supply chain research firm Adamas Intelligence show the sales weighted average monthly dollar value of the lithium, nickel, cobalt,
Most of the cobalt in Indonesia is the by product of nickel smelter, where in the Mixed Hydroxide precipitate (MHP) and Nickel Matte there is still cobalt content that can be leached and processed into cobalt sulphate. Indonesia can only produce 30,000 ton of cobalt in 2020 with 1,3 million ton resources.
Indonesia is an important part of the outlook for both nickel and cobalt at the moment. We’re seeing the share of Indonesian production rise from about 40% to 60% of the total nickel market in 2030.
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.
They’re at a fairly good level now, but they are expected to come down. And that Indonesian supply, particularly the High Pressure Acid Leach (HPAL) capacity, is expected to be relatively cost competitive, and is likely to pull down prices as well. All in all, the demand profile is very strong for nickel.
In absolute terms, that capacity is just 10GWh out of the more than 2,800GWh the world has in total, not to mention the global figure is set to double by 2030. Indonesia is falling behind despite its nickel production rising more than eightfold since 2015.
The second-largest nickel producer in Indonesia. INCO is the second-largest nickel producer in Indonesia with mines and integrated smelting and processing capability to produce matte with a high nickel content (78%). Its nickel matte output of 72k tons accounts for c.3% of global nickel supply.
