If the energy transition continues, demand for metals such as nickel and copper will grow significantly as demand for technologies to combat climate change increases. In recent years, Indonesia has firmly established itself as the leader in mining these metals. As the pressure to provide these sources mounts, more and more manufacturers are turning to Indonesia for supplies.
“The Jakarta office is Elessent’s sixth location serving the Asia Pacific market. The opening of the office demonstrates our commitment to servicing this key region. We are delighted to bring best-in-class M&R to our sulfuric acid production facility at a time of significant expansion in metal extraction solutions,” said Kanson Xue, Asia Pacific Director, Elessent.
The global push for net-zero carbon emissions has led to an ever-increasing demand for electric vehicles, wind technology, batteries, fuel cells and other innovations to support this effort by consumers around the world. The production of such technologies requires the use of energy metals such as nickel and copper, for example, the preferred method of extracting battery-grade nickel is high pressure acid leaching (HPAL) which requires sulfuric acid. As fossil fuels continue to be replaced by more sustainable measures and industry growth is expected in the coming years, operators worldwide are choosing MECS® have provided technology and proprietary equipment for their projects for decades.
