Key Insights Driving Indonesia’s Cobalt Expansion
Indonesia’s growth is being driven by significant investment in high-pressure acid leach (HPAL) facilities.
The increase in 2025 production is primarily supported by supply expansion at the PT Halmahera Persada Lygend Project, following ongoing commissioning and ramp-up of additional production lines.
Although operations at the project were suspended in 2024 due to oversupply and lower prices, capacity is now moving towards full operational levels.
Further growth in 2026 will be supported by the start of Pomalaa and Morowali projects, alongside continued ramp-up at the Huafei Cobalt-Nickel Project and ongoing expansion at PT Halmahera Persada Lygend.
