Strengthening the Competitiveness of Indonesia’s Transition Minerals in the Global Economy

Learn More

Indonesia holds a strategic position in the global clean energy supply chain through its wealth of transition minerals such as nickel, copper, and bauxite. We strive to strengthen Indonesia’s bargaining power in premium markets by ensuring the domestic mineral downstream sector develops sustainably through industrial decarbonization, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and reinforcing Indonesia’s position as a major player in the global green economy.

Strengthening the Competitiveness of Indonesia’s Transition Minerals in the Global Economy

The rising global demand for electric vehicles, batteries, and clean energy technologies places Indonesia in a strategic position within the global economic transformation. Indonesia’s abundance of transition minerals creates a massive opportunity to become a leading player in the future value chain of the clean energy industry.

The future competitiveness of the mineral downstream sector will no longer be determined solely by production capacity, but also by the industry's ability to meet global supply chain standards that increasingly demand a low carbon footprint. Consequently, the national mineral processing industry's reliance on captive coal plants (PLTU captive) has become a serious concern for international trading partners. Increasingly stringent global carbon emission regulations—such as the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and the United States’ Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) supply chain standards mean that high-carbon-intensity products risk facing barriers to premium markets, including steep tariff increases and declining demand.

We support Indonesia’s vision to transition from being a mere commodity producer into a green mineral market leader. Our strategies include:

  • Driving policy discussions to curtail the construction of new captive coal plants in transition mineral processing zones as a strategic step to decarbonize the industrial sector.

  • Strengthening Indonesia's position as a reliable energy transition partner by delivering clean energy supply chain solutions for the international market.

  • Generating strategic analyses on long-term trade risks if the downstream industry fails to promptly adopt more sustainable energy standards.

Through collaboration with policymakers and industry players, we aim to align the growth of the mineral sector with national climate targets. By transforming the energy infrastructure in mineral processing hubs, Indonesia not only safeguards its natural wealth but also secures a pivotal role in the global green economy value chain.
