00:00According to the government, the Ministry of Economic Coordination
00:04has ensured that the economy of East Java, especially Gresik,
00:08will grow after the arrival of smelters from Freeport, Indonesia.
00:17The Minister of Economic Coordination, Ayer Langga Hartarto,
00:20believes that the operation of smelters from Freeport, Indonesia
00:24will increase the economy in Gresik,
00:26where smelters as wide as 100 hectares are claimed as the largest in the world.
00:32Ayer Langga said that in the next 3-4 years,
00:36no party will be able to build the largest smelter
00:40as a fertilizer with a capacity of 1.7 million tons of fertilizer concentrate per year.
00:46No one can build a smelter like this on a 100 hectare land anywhere.
00:52Even if they think about it now,
00:54it will still take 4-5 years before it can be produced.
00:58So, this is the right time
01:01because right now, renewable energy is becoming a trend.
01:05And the renewable energy trend needs critical minerals.
01:09And one of them is copper.
01:13We have nickel, we have cobalt, we have copper.
01:17And copper is a revolutionary change from the future technology.
01:22All batteries still need copper.
01:26All cables need copper.
01:29Previously, the smelter in Gresik had an investment value of 58 trillion rupiah
01:35and would produce 3 million tons of fertilizer concentrate per year
01:38with a production of around 600,000 tons of fertilizer cathode,
01:4150 tons of gold, and 200 tons of ferric per year.
