About Us

National Battery Research Institute (NBRI)

The National Battery Research Institute (NBRI) was legally established on 17th December 2020 as The Center of Excellence Innovation of Battery and Renewable Energy Foundation, with Prof.Dr. Evvy Kartini as a Founder and Prof Alan J. Drew as Co-Founder. NBRI is a leading independent institute at the forefront of electrochemical energy storage science and technology, supporting training, and education and also committed to advancing research in this field. Specializing in EV battery technology, NBRI's deep insights and specialized knowledge are cornerstones, making an invaluable contribution to broader initiatives. With an extensive network that spans industry and government sectors, NBRI plays a central role in enhancing partnerships and building strong connections in the electric vehicle domain.

The institute's long-standing recognition and unwavering credibility underscore its integral position, while its state-of-the-art laboratory capabilities provide a solid foundation for collaborative research and development efforts. NBRI's influential affiliations bring unique insights and industry synergies, enriching the foundation's objectives and contributing to the advancement of electrochemical energy storage on a national and regional scale by emphasizing local resources to make Indonesia a self-reliant country in the energy sector. The main goal of NBRI is to encourage and support a battery manufacturing industry using locally resources, which will enable Indonesia to be independent in energy. The NBRI was supported by the UK Government’s Global Challenge Research Fund (GCRF), as part of the Queen Mary University of London QR allocation.

 
 
OUR VISION
 
Our vision for the NBRI is to gather all Indonesian stakeholders in battery research and production, to help form strong national batteries research and increase the visibility of batteries research at government level. The long term goal is to help develop a batteries manufacturing industry using locally sourced resources, which will enable Indonesia to be independent in energy; it has vast renewables which require grid-storage, isolated communities that require localised generation and storage or electricity, huge local resources for manufacture
