National Battery Research Indonesia (NBRI) is Indonesia independent institute for electrochemical energy storage research and skills development. NBRI aims to contribute to the overall research capacity and training environment in Indonesia in battery research. We bring together scientists and industry partners on research projects to reduce battery cost, weight, and volume; to improve performance and reliability; and to develop whole-life strategies including recycling and reuse. The National Battery Research Institute (NBRI) was founded by E.Kartini in 2012. Launched in October 2019 during the ICAMT-ICMR conference 2019 in Bogor held by the Material Research Society of Indonesia (MRS-INA). Bringing together expertise from universities and industry, the NBRI endeavours to make the Indonesia the go-to place for the research, development, manufacture and production of new electrical storage technologies for both the electronics, automotive industries and the wider. The NBRI bench marked of the Faraday Institution in UK. Its establishing is supported by the Global Challenge Research Fund (GCRF), UK, through the cooperation with Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) in 2020.
