Indonesia sits at the centre of the global energy transition's mineral supply chain — yet the public evidence base for what is actually happening on the ground has not kept pace. This dashboard is the Energy Shift Institute's answer.
Indonesia's push to move beyond raw ore exports — into smelting, refining, battery materials, and finished products — is one of the most consequential industrial policy experiments in the world today. Its outcome will shape global EV supply chains, billions of dollars of investment, national fiscal revenues, and the communities and ecosystems where extraction and processing happen.
Decisions of this scale deserve scrutiny — but the data needed to follow them is fragmented and hard to reach. Production, trade, and investment figures sit scattered across ministry releases, statistical bulletins, and company disclosures, each with its own format and cadence. The most complete pictures are locked inside commercial market intelligence priced far beyond the reach of researchers, journalists, and civil society. Policy changes arrive as dense legal documents with little consolidated tracking, and day-to-day developments are dispersed across hundreds of news sources.
The result: the stakeholders with the greatest stake in Indonesia's mineral transition — the public — have had the least ability to follow it. Debates run on anecdotes instead of evidence, and accountability suffers when no one is looking at the same numbers.
No paywall, no registration, no institutional licence. If the energy transition is a public project, the evidence about it should be a public good.
Supply-chain flows, trade and investment data, the policy landscape, live news, and spatial data — brought together in one place instead of scattered across dozens of sources.
Built by a nonprofit think tank with no commercial position in the sector. Sources are cited, methods are documented, and the data speaks before the opinion does.
When government, industry, researchers, media, and communities watch the same numbers, downstreaming progress can be discussed on shared ground — and claims can be checked.
Anyone with a stake in how Indonesia's mineral wealth is developed — and how its benefits and costs are shared:
