據(jù)油價網(wǎng)2023年5月31日報道，印尼投資部長巴赫利爾·拉哈達(dá)利亞周三表示，包括礦業(yè)巨頭嘉能可(Glencore)在內(nèi)的一個國際財團(tuán)準(zhǔn)備向印尼礦業(yè)和電池制造業(yè)投資90億美元。

路透社援引印尼這位投資部長的話報道說：“如果按計劃進(jìn)行，投資額約為90億美元。如果我們能加快速度，我們就會這樣做。印尼希望吸引外國公司投資電動汽車電池的生產(chǎn)。”

拉哈達(dá)利亞補(bǔ)充說，這筆90億美元的投資項(xiàng)目將進(jìn)入蘇拉威西島的一個工業(yè)園區(qū)，預(yù)計將于9月完工，并將由風(fēng)能提供動力。

印尼投資部向路透社證實(shí)，這個國際財團(tuán)將包括嘉能可、印尼國有礦業(yè)公司Aneka Tambang、材料公司優(yōu)尼科和能源公司昂科威集團(tuán)。  

嘉能可對路透社表示，該公司對傳言不予置評。 

作為全球最大的鎳礦擁有國，印尼一直在尋求發(fā)展鎳加工業(yè)，最終為電動汽車制造商生產(chǎn)電池，并渴望吸引外國公司參與這些合資企業(yè)。

國際能源署(IEA)在去年7月發(fā)表的一份題為《全球電動汽車電池供應(yīng)鏈》的報告中表示，印度尼西亞擁有較低級別的紅土型鎳礦床，需要額外的能源密集型加工才能成為電池級鎳。  

去年年底，印尼表示正在考慮成立一個稀有金屬聯(lián)盟來管理鎳和其他一些關(guān)鍵電池金屬的供應(yīng)，類似于歐佩克對石油的管理。

印尼投資部長拉哈達(dá)利亞在去年10月底接受英國《金融時報》采訪時表示：“我確實(shí)看到了創(chuàng)建歐佩克來實(shí)現(xiàn)石油貿(mào)易治理、確保潛在投資者利益和消費(fèi)市場的可預(yù)測性的好處。”

這位投資部長補(bǔ)充稱：“印尼正在研究對擁有的鎳、鈷和錳等礦產(chǎn)形成類似治理結(jié)構(gòu)的可能性。”

Consortium To Invest $9 Billion In Indonesia's Mining And Battery Industries

A consortium of companies, including mining giant Glencore, is poised to invest $9 billion in the mining and battery-manufacturing sectors in Indonesia, Investment Minister Bahlil Lahadalia said on Wednesday.

"The investment is about $9 billion if it is according to plans. If we can speed it up we'll do it," Reuters quoted the minister as saying, as Indonesia looks to attract foreign firms to invest in the production of batteries for electric vehicles.

The $9-billion investment will go into an industrial park on the island Sulawesi, and is expected to be completed in September and to be powered by wind energy, Lahadalia added.

Indonesia's investment ministry confirmed to Reuters that the consortium would include Glencore, Indonesia's state mining firm Aneka Tambang, materials company Umicore, and energy company Envision Group.

Glencore told Reuters it did not comment on rumors.

Indonesia, the world's biggest nickel miner, has been looking to develop nickel processing industries and ultimately produce batteries for EV manufacturers and is eager to attract foreign companies for those ventures.

Indonesia has the laterite type of deposits of nickel, which is lower-grade and requires additional energy-intensive processing to become battery-grade nickel, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in a July 2022 report, Global Supply Chains of EV Batteries. 

At the end of last year, Indonesia said it was considering the idea of forming a cartel to manage the supply of nickel and some other key battery metals, similar to what OPEC does for oil.

"I do see the merit of creating Opec to manage the governance of oil trade to ensure predictability for potential investors and consumers," Indonesia's Lahadalia told the Financial Times in an interview at the end of October.

"Indonesia is studying the possibility to form a similar governance structure with regard to the minerals we have, including nickel, cobalt and manganese," the minister added.
