 <\/p>\n

Eramet sees great opportunities in Indonesia within the electric vehicle (EV) industry\u2019s supply chain. With our expertise in responsible critical mineral mining, we are committed to being a strategic partner to the Indonesian government in supporting the global energy transition.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Baudelet has been with Eramet for over two decades, beginning his career as a Market Analyst at Eramet USA in 1994. He later held various managerial roles in Taiwan, China, and France, before becoming Sales and Marketing Director for Nickel and Lithium in 2013.<\/p>\n

With his extensive global experience in the nickel and stainless steel industries, Baudelet brings a strong vision to position Eramet Indonesia as a strategic government partner and a key player in the global EV ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Eramet in Indonesia<\/h2>\n

Eramet has operated in Indonesia since 2006, starting with exploration activities in Halmahera, North Maluku. In 2017, Eramet formed a joint venture with Tsingshan, establishing PT Weda Bay Nickel (WBN). In the WBN ownership structure, Strand Minerals holds 90% of the shares, consisting of Eramet (43%) and Tsingshan (57%). The remaining 10% is owned by PT Antam Tbk, representing the Government of Indonesia.<\/p>\n

Through this strategic partnership, Eramet brings technical expertise in international-standard mining operations and contributes to the sustainable development of Indonesia\u2019s nickel industry.<\/p>\n

The company has recorded substantial progress in nickel production at WBN, supported by the fact that Weda Bay is one of the world\u2019s largest nickel mines. Eramet\u2019s latest report states that over 52% of its total nickel ore volume is produced in Indonesia.<\/p>\n

In addition to nickel, Eramet is also focusing on other critical minerals in the EV battery value chain, such as lithium. This year, Eramet signed a memorandum of understanding with Indonesia\u2019s Geological Agency (ESDM) to jointly study the potential lithium resources in the country.<\/p>\n

Moreover, in 2023, Eramet partnered with Kalla Group, PowerCo, and Stellantis to form a consortium for the development of an environmentally friendly EV hub called \u201cResponsible Green Electric Vehicle\u201d (RGEV) in Indonesia, aiming to promote sustainable extraction and processing practices.<\/p>\n

Baudelet emphasized that going forward, Eramet will focus on achieving its ambition to become a key player in Indonesia\u2019s EV industry by prioritizing investment and the development of critical minerals that support the energy transition, including nickel, lithium, and cobalt.<\/p>\n

As a mining player, he reaffirmed the company\u2019s commitment to implementing sustainable mining practices, including the adoption of international standards such as the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA), which is globally recognized.<\/p>\n

On another front, this major nickel player is also deploying a CSR Roadmap for 2024\u20132026 titled \u201cAct for Positive Mining\u201d to reinforce its sustainability commitments.<\/p>\n

\u201cEramet is committed to ensuring that mining operations at Weda Bay Nickel follow the CSR roadmap. At the global level, Eramet has scheduled IRMA audits across all our operational areas,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":51334,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-media","nature-news"],"yoast_head":"\nWith a New CEO, Eramet Ready to Strengthen Indonesia\u2019s EV Industry & Energy Transition -
