STORYLINE:

Indonesian President Joko Widodo on Wednesday inaugurated the country's first lithium-ion battery anode factory, PT Indonesia BTR New Energy Material (PT BTR), invested by China's BTR New Material Group (BTR).

PT BTR, located in Indonesia's Kendal Industrial Park in Central Java province, currently has an annual production capacity of 80,000 tons of anode material, one of the battery materials for electric vehicles (EVs).

The inauguration of the factory marked the completion of the first phase of the BTR project in Indonesia, with an investment of 478 million U.S. dollars. The second phase, scheduled to start in late 2024, will involve an additional 299 million U.S. dollars in investment, doubling the factory's production capacity to 160,000 tons.

SOUNDBITE 1 (Indonesian): JOKO WIDODO, Indonesian President
"I am very happy that PT BTR can produce 80,000 tons of anode material per year. If manufactured into cars, this will enable the production of 1.5 million electric cars. With the additional 80,000 tons from the second phase, this capacity will increase to 3 million electric cars per year, which is a huge number."

SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): HUANG YOUYUAN, Executive Vice Chairman and General Manager of China's BTR New Material Group
"It took only 10 months to complete the construction of this plant, which has greatly bolstered the confidence of our international clients."

SOUNDBITE 3 (Indonesian): LUHUT BINSAR PANDJAITAN, Indonesia's Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment
"With the presence of this battery anode factory, the lithium battery industry ecosystem in Indonesia will be even more complete."
