CATL and Partners Break Ground on US$6 Billion Battery Integration Project in Indonesia
KARAWANG, Indonesia, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ningbo Contemporary Brunp Lygend Co., Ltd. (CBL), a subsidiary of Guangdong Brunp Recycling Technology Co., Ltd (Brunp), in partnership with PT Aneka Tambang Tbk (ANTAM) and Indonesia Battery Corporation (IBC), officially broke ground on the Indonesia Battery Integration Project on Sunday at the Karawang New Industry City (KNIC) in Indonesia's West Java Province. Brunp is a subsidiary of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL). Spanning over 2,000 hectares, the Indonesia Battery Integration Project, with a planned investment of nearly USD 6 billion, covers the full battery value chain including nickel mining and processing, battery materials and battery recycling at the FHT Industrial Park of East Halmahera, North Maluku Province, and battery manufacturing in KNIC and Artha Industrial Hill (AIH) of Karawang, West Java Province. The battery plant in Karawang will deliver an annual capacity of 6.9 GWh in the first phase. By applying CATL's Lighthouse Factory and Extreme Manufacturing experience, the plant will ensure efficient production of high-quality battery cells and modules to accelerate e-mobility and energy transition efforts in Indonesia and the world. The other key component of the project is the establishment of Indonesia's first renewable energy circular system, with nickel mining and processing, battery materials, and battery recycling operations deployed at the FHT Industrial Park. This landmark project will use state-of-the-art technologies and renewable energy to achieve ultra-low energy consumption, enabling improved cost efficiency, and high-value battery material regeneration with a metal recovery rate of over 95%. Once fully operational, the facility is expected to produce 142,000 tons of nickel and 30,000 tons of cathode materials annually, along with the capacity to process around 20,000 tons of recycled batteries. This project, the largest initiative of its kind in Southeast Asia, clearly demonstrates Indonesia's dedication to promoting sustainable energy, declared Prabowo Subianto, President of the Republic of Indonesia while attending the ground breaking ceremony in Karawang. He also expressed enthusiasm for partnering with global stakeholders to develop a green battery industry ecosystem. By vertically integrating the entire battery value chain, the Indonesia Battery Integration Project sets a strong example of green, circular industrial development, establishing a new benchmark in international industry collaboration. It is expected to create 8,000 direct jobs and generate 35,000 indirect job opportunities by the time it reaches full capacity, and it will make significant contribution to Indonesia's 2060 carbon neutrality target. The ground breaking marks a key milestone in advancing the Indonesia Battery Integration Project, which will further enhance CATL's global footprint, create resilience of raw materials supply, and promote global battery circularity.

Around one hundred Michelin-starred chefs and traditional cuisine chefs vindicate Catalonia as the region with the best gastronomy in the world
BARCELONA, Spain, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ferran Adrià, the Roca brothers, Carme Ruscalleda, Nandu Jubany, Cocina Hermanos Torres... This is the first time that all the representatives of Catalan cuisine have been portrayed together with a common goal: to make Catalonia known as home to the best gastronomy in the world. A campaign was launched to vindicate Catalonia's global leadership in the gastronomic world at an event held at the emblematic Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona, with more than one hundred chefs present, including those awarded Michelin stars and those producing traditional cuisine, as well as other prominent professionals in the sector – maitre Ds, sommeliers, producers, farmers, fishermen, winegrowers and restaurateurs. What began 30 years ago with the elBulli revolution, and chefs such as Carme Ruscalleda and Joan Roca, has now peaked: the region has one of the most internationally recognised cuisines, with 62 restaurants totalling 77 Michelin stars and three establishments ranked among the best in the world, according to The World's 50 Best Restaurants (Disfrutar, El Celler de Can Roca and elBulli). In addition, Catalan Albert Adrià was recognised as the second-best chef in the world in 2024, according to The Best Chef Awards. Catalonia also stands out as an agri-food powerhouse with 12 Protected Designations of Origin (PDO), 13 Protected Geographical Indications (PGI) and 12 Designations of Origin (DO) for wines. This global success is not only the result of a consolidated culinary tradition, but also of its strong link with the agri-food sector: an ecosystem that generates 20% of the GDP of the Catalan region and is driven by more than 573,500 professionals. The sector also invests over 85.7 million euros in R&D annually, positioning Catalonia as a reference point in agri-food and culinary innovation. Consolidating Catalonia as a food and wine destination Located in Spain, Catalonia is among the main tourist regions in the world, with visitors travelling to the region throughout the year and showing a great interest in the food and wine. This tourist profile spends 20% more on average than the conventional tourist. In this context, and with more than 500 food and wine experiences active throughout the territory, Catalonia wants to consolidate its leadership as a preeminent culinary destination in Europe and the world, and to attract new visitors by linking culinary culture to the productive economy and international appeal. With the slogan "Catalonia, the best gastronomy in the world," the campaign launched by the Catalan Tourism Agency (Generalitat de Catalunya), it projects Catalan cuisine as an engine of economic development, territorial cohesion and tourist appeal, within the framework of the distinction "Catalonia, World Region of Gastronomy 2025." In fact, it was the first European region to receive this distinction from the International Institute of Gastronomy, Culture, Arts and Tourism (IGCAT). There have been 140 actual protagonists from the gastronomic world participating in the centrepiece of the campaign ad, shot in seven representative locations of the Catalan region: the city of Barcelona, Peratallada and l'Escala (Costa Brava), Valls (Costa Dorada), the muscle farms of the Ebro Delta, the city of Lleida, La Vall de Boí (Pyrenees) and Penedès (Barcelona Landscapes).
