Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is able to act once more. This time, it’ll strictly prohibit the export of silica sand or quartz sand like different mineral commodities, quartz sand will likely be utilized in RI as an electrical automobile ecosystem (Electrical Automobile/EV) the place, quartz sand may be very helpful for making Photo voltaic Panels.
Later, President Jokowi’s coverage will once more hurt the trade in China. Not solely bauxite, China can also be a connoisseur of quartz sand from Indonesia for its photo voltaic panel manufacturing trade.
President Jokowi emphasised that in line with his authorities’s calculations, silica or quartz sand apparently has round 60 thousand derivatives which have added worth.
“In 2027 the EV ecosystem have to be accomplished. We will even ban exports of all downstream together with silica sand. I’ve counted 60,000 derivatives of this silica sand, there’s a massive added worth,” stated President Jokowi on the State Palace, quoted on Saturday (3/6 /2023).

Demand to China Rises

In his story, Gilbert revealed that he had all the time communicated together with his colleagues in China for the final three to 4 months. They are saying, China is sort of superior with the usage of photo voltaic power.
This has been confirmed within the final six months to a 12 months, demand for quartz sand from China to Indonesia has elevated fairly sharply. The worth has even gone up fairly considerably.
“What is that this sand for? For photo voltaic panels. China may be very lively in constructing photo voltaic panels. They want very giant quantities of quartz sand,” defined Gilbert.
Construct Your Personal Trade
Director Normal of New, Renewable Power and Power Conservation (EBTKE) of the Ministry of Power and Mineral Sources, Dadan Kusdiana stated that Indonesia will construct a home photo voltaic panel manufacturing unit, after to this point it has solely been capable of import photo voltaic panels from different nations.
“Sure (construct a manufacturing unit) in Indonesia. As of proper now within the shadows, not within the brief time period, is a PLTS manufacturing unit from upstream, indirectly imported cells.

Dadan revealed that one of many areas in Indonesia that has the potential for a photo voltaic panel manufacturing unit mission is the Bangka Belitung Islands Province. He additionally talked about the chance that one of many photo voltaic panel factories can be constructed within the space.
Why Bangka Belitung?
He stated Bangka Belitung was thought-about the best location to construct a photo voltaic panel manufacturing unit as a result of it had one of many uncooked supplies for making photo voltaic panels, particularly quartz sand.
Not forgetting, Dadan additionally revealed that Indonesia wouldn’t solely construct one photo voltaic panel manufacturing unit. Later, there will likely be a number of kinds of photo voltaic panel factories to be in-built Indonesia.
“In Bangka Belitung, it is good from the supply of the sand, perhaps later there, there will not be one manufacturing unit, there will likely be a number of kinds of factories,” he added.
