INDUSTRY.co.id - Jakarta – PT Trinitan Green Energy Metals (TGEM) recently held an Investment Registration Ceremony in the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Sorong, as well as the signing of the MOU "Land Allocation for the Sorong IGNITE Project" with PT Malomoi Olom Wobok (MOW), which is the operator of the SEZ in Sorong.

Those activities are a follow-up to TGEM's plan to build a Class 1 Nickel processing area in the SEZ in Sorong, which is projected to be the first integrated Eco Industrial Park in Indonesia known as Indonesia Green Nickel Integrated Technology Ecopark (IGNITE Ecopark).

Therefore, Widodo continued, he and the entire ranks of PT Trinitan Green Energy Metals (TGEM) requested support from the Sorong SEZ operator, SEZ administrator, the Sorong Regency Government and OPD for the continuity of the project and TGEM's investment in the SEZ in Sorong.
