Indonesian coal miner Harum Energy buys stake in nickel plant
PT Harum Energy has bought a controlling stake in a nickel processing plant, part of a trend of Indonesian coal miners moving into metals vital to the energy transition.
The miner acquired 51% of PT Blue Sparking Energy by converting part of a loan to the company into equity, according to a stock exchange filing. The nickel refiner issued new shares worth around $206 million for the swap.
Blue Sparking is developing a high pressure acid leach plant at an industrial park in Weda Bay in North Maluku province, which makes a lower carbon form of nickel coveted by electric vehicle manufacturers.
