I ka hoʻoilo mua, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka lā mehana o ka hoʻoilo, ua hoʻonui ʻo NEP i ka hana ʻana, a ua piha ke ʻano. Ma ka lā 22 o Nowemapa, ua hoʻouna ʻia ka pūʻulu mua o nā paila kai kū i ka "Indonesia Huafei Nickel-Cobalt Hydrometallurgy Project" i hana ʻia e ka hui i Indonesia.
Aia kēia papahana ma ka Wedabe Industrial Park ma North Maluku Province, Indonesia, a ua hana nui i ka hoʻomohala nui a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kumuwaiwai nickel ore ma nā ʻāina "Belt and Road". Hoʻopaʻa ʻia e Kina ENFI EP, hoʻohana ʻo ia i ke kaʻina leaching acid kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe loa ma ka honua. Ma hope o ka hoʻokomo ʻia ʻana, hiki iā ia ke hana i 120,000 tons nickel a me cobalt hydroxide i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Hoʻohana ʻia nā pamu wai kai kū pololei e hoʻomaʻalili i ka wai kaʻina hana a hāʻawi i ka wai hoʻoluʻu i nā mea hana. Loaʻa iā lākou nā koi kiʻekiʻe loa no ka palekana a me ka hilinaʻi o ka huahana. Ua lanakila ʻo NEP i ka hilinaʻi a me ka ʻike ʻana o nā mea kūʻai aku me kāna hana lean a me ka maikaʻi maikaʻi loa, a ua hele hou kāna huahana i nā ʻāina ʻē.
Ua hoʻopuka maikaʻi ʻia nā pauma wai kai kū pololei no ka hana nickel Weda Bay a me ka cobalt wet process o Indonesia.
