China Enterprise Lithium Source Technology Indonesia Base Launches Phase II to Build the Largest Overseas Lithium Iron Phosphate Capacity Hub

the second phase of the project of lithium source technology, a leading Chinese new energy materials company, officially broke ground in Semarang, Indonesia, marking that its global layout and new energy technology output have entered a substantial landing stage. The project plans to produce 120000 tons of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode material annually. After completion, it will become the world's largest LFP material production base outside China, filling the technical gap of overseas large-scale mass production.

The second phase of the project started by this time is the core part of the expansion plan of lithium source technology Indonesia base, forming a gradient layout with the first phase of the project that has been put into operation. The 30000-ton LFP production line of the first phase of the project was completed in 2024, and the first batch of products were exported in January 2025, marking the first time that China's LFP technology has achieved large-scale overseas mass production. After the second phase of the project is completed, the total production capacity of the Indonesian base will reach 150000 tons, accounting for about 12% of the total global demand for LFP materials (estimated at 1.25 million tons of global production capacity in 2024), becoming a key node in the Southeast Asian new energy industry chain.

Since the launch of the Lithium Source Technology Indonesia project in 2021, it has always focused on the "technology to sea + localized production" model. The first phase of the project adopts the solid phase process patented by China. The energy density of the product is 8% higher than that of the traditional process, the cycle life exceeds 5000 times, and the performance index reaches the certification standard of international power battery enterprises. The second phase of the project will introduce intelligent production lines, with unit energy consumption reduced by 15% compared with the first phase, and supporting the construction of a 100000-ton precursor material recovery center, forming a "raw material-production-recovery" closed-loop system. The general manager of the company said at the opening ceremony that the project will promote China's LFP technical standard to become a model for Southeast Asian new energy industry, and plans to train 300 local engineers in Indonesia in the next three years to strengthen technology transfer and industrial coordination.

The landing of the project coincides with a critical window period for China and Indonesia to deepen cooperation in the new energy industry. The "Electric Vehicle Industry Roadmap" issued by the Indonesian government in 2023 clearly stated that by 2030, the local LFP material production capacity will account for 30% of the world's target. Lithium-source technology projects will be included in the national "Battery Ecosystem" plan and enjoy tax relief and land priority Use rights. The start of the second phase of the project is regarded as a landmark event in the upgrading of China-India new energy industry cooperation from "trade exchanges" to "technological symbiosis. The Economic and Commercial Office of the Chinese Embassy in Indonesia pointed out that the project will drive about 50 Chinese companies upstream and downstream to follow up investment and form a complete industrial chain cluster covering cathode materials, electrolytes, and separators. It is expected to create more than 2000 jobs for Indonesia in 2026. jobs.

Lithium Source Technology simultaneously released the "Indonesia Base 2030 Carbon Neutral Roadmap", promising 100 percent of the second phase of the project to use renewable energy, and plans to build a 50 MW photovoltaic power station around the base to realize the integration of "green power production-green power storage-green power application. The company is also working with the Indonesian Academy of Sciences to develop bio-based precursor materials and plans to reduce the carbon footprint of LFP materials by 40% by 2027. "We want to export not only capacity, but also sustainable energy solutions." The person in charge of the Global R & D Center of Lithium Source Technology said that in the future, the trinity development model of "technology + capital + ecology" will be replicated in Indonesia to help Southeast Asia become the third pole of the global new energy revolution.
