Introduction to NBRI
National Battery Research Institute (NBRI)
The National Battery Research Institute (NBRI) is Indonesia’s premier independent institute for electrochemical energy storage science and technology. It is dedicated to research and development, training and education, testing and standardization, international conferences, exhibitions, social impact initiatives, and publishing. NBRI aims to address issues in battery technology from upstream to downstream, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement, and Indonesia’s clean energy transition program through Renewable Energy (RE) and Electric Vehicles (EVs).
As a collaborative platform, NBRI brings together scientists, academicians, industry partners, government stakeholders, and experts in battery technology and renewable energy. Its primary mission is to foster a robust battery manufacturing industry using local resources while equipping Indonesia with competent professionals in the field. Through strategic partnerships and knowledge-sharing, NBRI envisions an energy-independent Indonesia.
NBRI’s Founding and Achievements
NBRI was legally established on December 7, 2020, as the Center of Excellence Innovation of Battery and Renewable Energy Foundation, founded by Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Evvy Kartini and co-founded by Prof. Dr. Alan J. Drew. The institute has received support from the UK Government’s Global Challenge Research Fund (GCRF) and Queen Mary University London (QMUL), United Kingdom.
Since January 2020, NBRI has conducted over 297 activities and delivered 78 projects at national and international levels, engaging 968 institutions and reaching more than 12,654 participants across 38 countries. These activities include Focus Group Discussions, lectures, workshops, webinars, joint research programs, and annual international conferences. With an impressive satisfaction score of 4.8 out of 5, NBRI has successfully positioned itself as a leading institution in the battery research and development landscape.
International Battery Summit 2023
One of NBRI’s landmark achievements in 2023 was the successful organization of the International Battery Summit 2023, held on August 1-2 in Grand Sahid Jakarta. This event brought together 327 participants from 172 institutions and companies across 12 countries, including 48 industry experts as speakers. The summit facilitated discussions on the battery industry’s entire supply chain, with participants representing the private sector (42%), government and state-owned enterprises (36%), and non-government organizations, research institutes, and universities (22%).
