Abstract

This study evaluates the technical and economic feasibility of establishing a 2 GWp N-Type heterojunction (HJT) solar cell manufacturing facility in Batang Industrial Estate, Indonesia. The proposed plant utilizes predominantly Chinese-manufactured equipment for key processes including PECVD systems, metallization lines, and testing equipment, with silicon wafers as the primary raw material. A comprehensive analysis incorporating technical, financial, operational, and market aspects demonstrates project viability with an IRR of 18.2% and payback period of 5.3 years. The total investment of USD 850 million encompasses equipment, infrastructure, and working capital. Results indicate favorable technical feasibility with established equipment manufacturers meeting international quality standards. Financial analysis shows strong potential returns, supported by growing regional solar panel demand and Batang's strategic advantages. Key risks identified include silicon wafer price volatility, technological obsolescence, and market competition, with structured mitigation strategies proposed.

Abstract

This study evaluates the feasibility of building a nickel Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP) plant of PT. X with a capacity of 12,000 tons per year. The analysis shows that the potential demand for MHPs in the national and global markets continues to increase, driven by the growth of the nickel battery-based electric vehicle industry. The planned production capacity is projected to be optimally absorbed. The plant is designed using High Pressure Acid Leaching (HPAL) technology that utilizes low-grade nickel ore from multiple locations to reduce dependence on a single mine. Other supporting factors include adequate infrastructure, manpower, regulatory support, and market potential. Raw material requirements per year include 414,000 tons of laterite ore, 148,100 tons of H₂SO₄, 41,700 tons of CaO, and 2,870 tons of MgO. Initial investment (CAPEX) is estimated at $108.8 million with an annual operating expense (OPEX) of $93.5 million. The main equipment includes an autoclave, thickener, filter press, and rotary dryer. Financial analysis shows the project is feasible with a Payback Period of 4.85 years, an IRR of 19% above the MARR of 15%, and a positive NPV of $14.03 million at a discount of 19%. The sensitivity test showed that the project remained viable despite increased operational costs, so it was considered technically and financially prospective to support Indonesia's nickel downstreaming.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the feasibility of establishing a poultry feed factory by PT. X in Gresik, East Java, as part of Indonesia’s national agricultural downstreaming strategy. The feasibility study evaluates multiple aspects, including technical and technological considerations, raw material availability, and market and marketing potential, particularly for both domestic and export opportunities. The assessment also includes the estimation of local raw material requirements and the identification of appropriate equipment and technology for the factory’s operations. From a market perspective, the study evaluates current and projected demand for poultry feed products, supported by the growing livestock sector and increasing export prospects. From a financial standpoint, the project shows strong viability. Key financial indicators demonstrate positive outcomes: the Net Present Value (NPV) is greater than zero, the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) exceeds the prevailing loan interest rate, and the Payback Period falls within an acceptable and efficient timeframe. These indicators collectively reflect the project’s potential to generate sustainable profits and recover the initial investment within a reasonable period. Considering all evaluated aspects, the development of PT. X's poultry feed factory in Gresik is deemed feasible in terms of technical implementation, market potential, and financial returns. Moreover, the project aligns with national objectives to enhance agricultural value chains through industrial downstreaming, optimize the use of local resources, and contribute to regional and national economic development. As such, the proposed investment not only supports agribusiness growth but also reinforces broader economic resilience and food security initiatives in Indonesia.
