On the supply side, nickel-producing countries like Indonesia can implement policies to mitigate the adverse environmental and social impacts of nickel extraction.

A major component in these batteries is nickel and its extraction is highly carbon-intensive. Producing just one tonne of nickel can result in more than 20 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.

On Sunday, June 29, Indonesia will break ground on a $6 billion electric vehicle (EV) battery plant on Halmahera, the largest ...

Nickel was first discovered in 1751 by Axel Fredrik Cronstedt. Since its discovery, this metal has shone brightly across numerous industries and now holds an important role in the transition to a ...
