In a bid to expedite nickel processing domestically, the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) issued MEMR Regulation No. 11/2019 amending MEMR Regulation No. 25/2018 on the Utilization of Mining Minerals and Coal (MEMR Regulation No. 25/2018).
Effective 1 January 2020 export of low grade nickel is forbidden, two years ahead of schedule, while MEMR Decree No. 154/2019 specifies the implementation of the smelting facilities requirement.
Generally there are several points that were amended by MEMR Regulation No. 11/2019:
With the objective of supporting production of value-added products domestically, the Indonesian Mining Law, Law No. 4 of 2009, obliges companies to process and refine mining minerals in Indonesia.
Indonesia first announced the nickel ore export ban in 2014 that was relaxed in 2017 to a quota system, following strong market rejection. Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) Regulation No. 25/2018 allows for export of certain types of mining minerals until 2022 provided that minimum requirements for processing and refining are met; companies are required to build or are in the process of building smelters for relevant mining minerals in Indonesia.
The MEMR Regulation No. 25/2018 regulates several points in relation to the issuance of export permit:
To specify these provisions, the MEMR issued Decree No. 154/2019:
MEMR Decree No. 154/2019 came into effect on 26 August 2019. Mining companies that export nickels with content below 1.7% Ni are subject to its provisions until MEMR Regulation No. 11/2019 is effective on 1 January 2020.
The Indonesian government has stated that the country would phase out exporting raw materials to encourage the production of value-added products, including minerals. This is in line with the country’s aspiration to build on skilled workforce and high-tech industries.
Early in September, the director general of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources said in a national publication that Indonesia currently has 11 smelters in operation with 25 more expected to come online.
As one of the world’s largest producer of nickel ore, Indonesia would like to utilize its nickel reserves to support its electric vehicle (EV) ambition, as refined nickel and cobalt are materials for EV batteries.
Indonesia is working towards its plan to be Asia’s production hub for electric vehicles for export in the APAC region.
