Selection of Development Process Routes for Indonesian Laterite Nickel Ores

Speaker:

Sun Haikuo, President of ENFI Indonesia, China ENFI Engineering Corporation

He stated that the key to optimizing resource utilization and enhancing project benefits lies in selecting the optimal treatment process for different types of laterite nickel ores. Currently, the high-pressure acid leaching (HPAL) process is suitable for limonite, while the rotary kiln-electric arc furnace (RKEF) process is more appropriate for saprolite.

When producing nickel and cobalt products for the battery market, the HPAL process has a cost advantage over the RKEF and side-blowing processes due to its ability to handle low-nickel, high-cobalt limonite.

If the RKEF process is used to produce nickel matte, additional facilities need to be added on the basis of FeNi/NPI production, along with increased costs for sulfidizing and desulfurizing agents. When nickel sulphate prices are not significantly higher than those of FeNi/NPI, the cost competitiveness of this process is low.

Market Outlook: Current Status and Future Trends of the Global Nickel Industry

Speaker:

Ricardo Ferreira, Director of Market Research and Statistics, International Nickel Study Group (INSG)

The global primary nickel market experienced an oversupply in 2024, and this trend is expected to continue in 2025.

Indonesia and China are the main countries driving market changes, while other regions are cutting production. Stainless steel remains the most important application area for nickel. Meanwhile, although the nickel utilization rate in the battery market is increasing, the growth rate is lower than expected. Therefore, whether nickel will play a greater role in the future remains to be observed.

In addition, policies in various countries (such as ESG standards, subsidies, tariffs, royalties, and quotas) may all have a significant impact on the nickel market.

Keynote Speech:

The Tough Cycle of Nickel: Supply Surplus, Demand Uncertainty, and Trade Resistance

Speaker:

Denis Sharypin, Director of Strategic Marketing, Norilsk Nickel

The oversupply of nickel ore in Indonesia has led to low domestic value-added, low nickel prices, and depletion of nickel resources.

If the current trend continues, the nickel market is expected to face oversupply, leading to a decline in nickel prices.

Even if the nickel ore price in Indonesia is $100 per wmt, Chinese stainless steel remains competitive in Europe.

A potential increase in nickel ore prices in Indonesia may boost mining revenue in the country, while the competitiveness of downstream businesses in Indonesia and China will remain unchanged.

Keynote Speech: Changes and Outlook in Global Coal Trade Flows

Speaker: Dong Huanhuan, Senior Consultant at SMM

Global coal production is set to decline after reaching a record high in 2024

In 2024, global coal production exceeded 9 billion mt for the first time, reaching a record high, but it is expected to gradually decline in the coming years.

The main influencing factors are as follows:

The global energy transition is accelerating. The rapid development of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar is gradually replacing coal as the primary source of electricity.

With the establishment of the "dual carbon" goals, some countries globally, such as Germany and the UK, have gradually restricted or withdrawn from coal mining and use.

The transformation of the global economic development model and the increase in the proportion of service and high-tech industries (which have relatively lower energy demands) have further suppressed the growth of coal demand.

Speaker: Vasudev Pamnani, Director of I-Energy Natural Resources

01 Background of India's Coal Industry

India's coal mining history dates back over 250 years, originating in the eastern region.

• India has 378.21 billion tons of coal reserves, making it one of the world's largest coal reserve holders.

• In 2024, India ranked second globally in coal consumption (1.3 billion tons), production (1.04 billion tons), and imports (268 million tons).

• In the first four months of 2025, this momentum was largely maintained: coal consumption reached 492 million mt.

• Domestic coal production during the same period reached 403 million mt, a 3% increase compared to the same period last year.

• In contrast, the import trend weakened, dropping to 88 million mt from January to April 2025, a 5% decrease from 93 million mt in the same period last year.

Aluminium Market Preview

Speaker:

Duncan Hobbs, Director of Research at Concord Resources

The pace of global market recovery and fluctuations in the Chinese market will have a significant impact on the aluminium market. The primary driver of aluminium consumption is industrial production. Statistics show that YoY changes in industrial production explain over 75% of the YoY changes in aluminium consumption. Additionally, industry performance also has a notable impact on aluminium consumption, particularly in the transportation and construction sectors, which have a higher dependency on aluminium. It is anticipated that global industrial production will return to normal trend levels by 2025, following a period of sluggish performance from 2023 to 2024. Although accelerated industrial production may contribute to the growth of aluminium consumption, there are still downside risks under the current policy environment. Furthermore, it is expected that the output of the automotive and construction sectors will be lower than the overall industrial production level, especially with the construction sector's growth rate expected to slow down in 2025 compared to 2024.

Embracing a Green Future: The Path to Sustainable Development in the Aluminum Industry

Speaker:

Xinyi Liu, Global Aluminum Market Analyst at SMM London Office

Xinyi Liu, Global Aluminum Market Analyst at SMM London Office, shared insights on the topic of "Global Bauxite and Alumina Market Overview and Outlook". She stated that the global bauxite market is expected to have a significant surplus of approximately 12 million mt by 2025, which will continue to exert downward pressure on prices. The tightening of policies in Guinea is unlikely to cause an immediate supply deficit but will pose long-term cost risks. Regarding the alumina market, China's alumina capacity has surged, and it is expected that there will be a supply surplus of 4.11 million mt by 2025, which will exert downward pressure on domestic prices.

It is projected that by 2025, global bauxite production will increase significantly, with a production surplus of approximately 12 million mt, shifting the market conditions from undersupply to oversupply.

The global bauxite surplus will reach around 12 million mt in 2025, primarily due to a significant increase in Guinea's production. The Chinese bauxite market will transition from undersupply to surplus, with a significant increase in the surplus volume. As market supply increases, the prices of imported and domestic bauxite will fall sharply.
