Episode description

From nickel-rich rainforests to battery plants on the rise, Indonesia is teaming up with China to chase the EV prize. A massive battery project in the Southeast Asian country promises new jobs, growth, and green power. But there are also doubts and questions. Is it a clean-energy leap, or a high voltage gamble? With big hopes, how could this shape Asia's green future?

Host Tu Yun joins Andy Mok, a Senior Research Fellow at the Center for China and Globalization, Putra Adhiguna, the Managing Director of the Indonesia-based non-profit thinktank, Energy Shift Institute, and Kevin Nauen, a Senior Research Fellow at the Asian Vision Institute for a close look.
