PT Merdeka Battery Materials Tbk

Era kendaraan listrik (EV) dan energi terbarukan telah mendorong permintaan global akan material baterai, terutama nikel, kobalt, dan lithium. Indonesia, dengan cadangan nikel yang melimpah, memiliki potensi besar untuk menjadi pemain utama dalam rantai pasok baterai global melalui program hilirisasi mineral. Di garis depan upaya strategis ini, berdiri salah satu perusahaan terkemuka, yaitu PT Merdeka Battery Materials Tbk.

PT Merdeka Battery Materials Tbk, yang tercatat di Bursa Efek Indonesia dengan kode saham MBMA, adalah sebuah perusahaan publik (Tbk) di Indonesia yang secara spesifik berfokus pada industri material baterai. MBMA merupakan bagian penting dari Merdeka Group, sebuah kelompok usaha yang dikenal luas di sektor pertambangan melalui entitas seperti PT Merdeka Copper Gold Tbk (MDKA). Pembentukan MBMA secara spesifik menunjukkan strategi Merdeka Group untuk mendalami dan mengembangkan bisnis yang berkaitan langsung dengan material penyusun baterai, khususnya nikel.

Bisnis Inti: Dari Tambang Nikel Hingga Material Pra-Baterai

Bisnis utama PT Merdeka Battery Materials Tbk mencakup berbagai tahapan dalam rantai pasok material baterai, dengan fokus utama pada nikel. Bisnis mereka tidak hanya sebatas menambang, tetapi juga melakukan pemrosesan hilir untuk mengubah bijih nikel menjadi produk yang dibutuhkan oleh industri baterai global. Ini adalah implementasi nyata dari program hilirisasi mineral yang didorong oleh pemerintah Indonesia.

Kegiatan inti MBMA meliputi:

1. Penambangan Nikel: Mengekstraksi bijih nikel dari konsesi tambang yang mereka kelola. Bijih nikel di Indonesia umumnya terbagi dua jenis utama: saprolite dan limonite.
2. Pemrosesan Nikel (Smelting & Refining): Mengoperasikan fasilitas pengolahan metalurgi untuk mengubah bijih nikel menjadi produk olahan. MBMA menggunakan teknologi:
   • Rotary Kiln Electric Furnace (RKEF): Untuk mengolah bijih nikel jenis saprolite menjadi Nickel Pig Iron (NPI) atau Ferronickel. Produk ini terutama digunakan dalam industri stainless steel, namun juga dapat diolah lebih lanjut.
   • High-Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL): Untuk mengolah bijih nikel jenis limonite. Proses HPAL menghasilkan produk antara berupa Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP). MHP adalah bahan baku krusial yang mengandung nikel dan kobalt, yang selanjutnya dapat diproses menjadi bahan kimia baterai kelas tinggi seperti Nickel Sulfate dan Cobalt Sulfate.
3. Pengembangan Produk Hilir Baterai: Berupaya mengembangkan kemampuan untuk memproduksi produk hilir yang lebih dekat dengan kebutuhan produsen baterai, seperti Nickel Sulfate dan Cobalt Sulfate, dari MHP.
4. Daur Ulang (Recycling): Mengeksplorasi potensi untuk terlibat dalam bisnis daur ulang baterai bekas (Black Mass Recycling) di masa depan, melengkapi rantai pasok sirkular.

MBMA bertujuan untuk menyediakan material nikel dalam berbagai bentuk, dari produk turunan nikel kadar rendah hingga produk pra-baterai yang dibutuhkan industri EV global.

Fasilitas Operasional Skala Besar: Penambangan dan Pemrosesan di Sulawesi

PT Merdeka Battery Materials Tbk mengoperasikan lokasi penambangan nikel dan fasilitas pabrik pemrosesan metalurgi berskala sangat besar di Indonesia. Operasional utama MBMA terkonsentrasi di area-area yang merupakan sentra penghasil nikel di Indonesia, terutama di Pulau Sulawesi.

Contoh lokasi operasional mereka meliputi area tambang nikel di Sulawesi Tenggara (misalnya, di Konawe) dan fasilitas pemrosesan di Sulawesi Tengah (misalnya, di Morowali). Di sinilah pabrik-pabrik yang menggunakan teknologi RKEF dan HPAL berlokasi dan beroperasi, mengubah bijih nikel menjadi produk olahan seperti NPI dan MHP.

Investasi dalam Teknologi Kunci untuk Hilirisasi

Investasi MBMA dalam teknologi pemrosesan nikel, khususnya HPAL, sangat strategis karena memungkinkan pengolahan bijih nikel limonite yang melimpah di Indonesia menjadi MHP, bahan baku yang sangat dicari untuk produksi bahan kimia baterai EV. Teknologi ini membutuhkan investasi besar dan keahlian teknis yang tinggi.

Kualitas Produk dan Keberlanjutan: Fokus dalam Industri Baterai Global

Kualitas produk nikel olahan yang dihasilkan MBMA (seperti MHP dengan tingkat kemurnian tertentu) sangat penting untuk dapat diterima oleh industri baterai global. Selain itu, isu lingkungan dan keberlanjutan dalam operasional penambangan dan pemrosesan nikel, terutama pengelolaan limbah (seperti tailing dari proses HPAL), adalah aspek yang sangat diawasi oleh pasar global dan regulator. MBMA harus mematuhi standar lingkungan dan keselamatan kerja yang ketat dalam seluruh operasionalnya.

Klien Utama: Rantai Pasok Industri Baterai Global (B2B)

Klien utama PT Merdeka Battery Materials Tbk adalah perusahaan-perusahaan (Business-to-Business / B2B) yang berada di berbagai tahapan rantai pasok material baterai EV global. Ini mencakup:

• Pembeli NPI atau Ferronickel (terutama produsen stainless steel).
• Pembeli MHP (perusahaan yang mengolah MHP menjadi nikel sulfat dan kobalt sulfat).
• Potensial produsen bahan katoda baterai atau produsen baterai di masa depan.

MBMA memposisikan diri sebagai pemasok bahan baku dan bahan antara yang penting bagi industri baterai global.

Peran Strategis dalam Rantai Pasok Baterai EV Global dan Hilirisasi Nasional

MBMA memainkan peranan yang sangat strategis bagi Indonesia dan industri EV global:

• Penggerak Hilirisasi: Menjadi salah satu pemain kunci dalam upaya Indonesia untuk melakukan hilirisasi nikel, beralih dari pengekspor bijih mentah menjadi produsen material baterai bernilai tambah tinggi.
• Penghubung Rantai Pasok EV: Memposisikan Indonesia sebagai simpul penting dalam rantai pasok material baterai kendaraan listrik global.
• Investasi dan Teknologi: Merepresentasikan investasi besar dalam pengembangan industri metalurgi hilir dan membawa teknologi pemrosesan nikel yang canggih (HPAL, RKEF).
• Penciptaan Lapangan Kerja: Menyerap ribuan tenaga kerja terampil dan non-terampil di lokasi tambang dan pabrik pemrosesan di Sulawesi.
• Devisa Ekspor: Menjadi sumber potensi devisa negara dari ekspor produk nikel olahan.
• Bagian dari Merdeka Group: Mendapatkan dukungan kuat dalam hal pembiayaan, pengalaman pengembangan proyek, dan manajemen dari Merdeka Group.
