Batteries are a key technology to achieve Paris Agreement and support the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). As the fourth largest populations in the world, Indonesia has to prepare the energy transition from fossil fuels to the renewable energy in order to reduce the CO2 emission. Given the situation, the existing of a consortium that focus on the strategic planning of battery and renewable energy is urgently required. Therefore, a National Battery Research Institute (NBRI) is founded. NBRI is Indonesia's independent institute for electrochemical energy storage science and technology, supporting research, training, and education. The Institute aims to contribute to the overall research capacity and training environment in Indonesia in battery and renewable energy research. NBRI is a platform that brings together scientists, academicians, industry partners, the government and all stakeholders that focus on battery and renewable technology. 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. NBRI was legally established on 17th December 2020 as The Center of Excellence Innovation of Battery and Renewable Energy Foundation. The NBRI establishment was supported by the Global Challenge Research Fund (GCRF), UK, through the cooperation with Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), UK. Prof. Dr. Evvy Kartini and Prof. Dr. Alan J. Drew became a Founder and a Co-Founder of NBRI, respectively.
