SHANGHAI, Mar 4 (SMM)—Tsingshan Group signed high-grade nickel matte supply agreements with Huayou Cobalt and CNGR on the afternoon of March 1. As the three parties agreed, Tsingshan will supply 60,000 mt of high-grade nickel matte to Huayou Cobalt and 40,000 mt to CNGR within one year starting from October 2021.

Leaders such as Tsingshan Chairman Xiang Guangda, Huayou Cobalt Chairman Chen Xuehua and Hunan CNGR Chairman Deng Weiming attended the signing ceremony.

In order to further improve the industrial chain in the field of new energy and to further meet the demand for nickel from power batteries, Tsingshan Group began to test the production of high-grade nickel matte in Indonesia in July 2020, producing high-grade nickel matte with a nickel content of more than 75%. The process has been successfully trial-produced at the end of 2020, and it has been able to stably supply high-grade nickel matte.

Tsingshan will continue to increase investment in its nickel industry in Indonesia. It is expected to produce 600,000 mt of nickel equivalent in 2021, 850,000 mt in 2022, and 1.1 million mt in 2023. Among them, the output of high-grade nickel matte and ferronickel will be adjusted according to market demand and price changes.

[SMM Stainless Steel Flash] EU Fastener Distributors Warn CBAM Acts as Penalty Tariff; Import Costs Surge Up to 50%

According to EFDA, the CBAM is severely penalizing importers of screws, nuts, and other fasteners, with costs reportedly surging by 30% to 50% since the mechanism took full effect in January 2026. The EFDA attributes this drastic cost increase to structural failures by the European Commission, specifically the absence of a functioning verification system that forces importers to rely on exorbitantly high default emissions values rather than actual data. This issue is heavily compounded by a severe shortage of certified verifiers, whose accreditation is delayed until summer 2027. Warning that these bureaucratic complexities are threatening the global competitiveness of European end products like automobiles and machinery.
