Yibin, Sichuan, June 10 (Shan Peng, Wu Pinghua) "In the second half of the battery industry, how do we need to lead the market demand? How do we 'go from good to good'?" At the 2023 World Power Battery Conference held in Yibin, Sichuan, the "Power Battery City of China", Robin Zeng, chairman of CATL New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., said that power batteries have entered a new stage from "yes" to "no".

In recent years, China's power battery industry has achieved rapid growth. According to Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation, in 2022, the installed capacity of China's power battery industry reached 294.6GWh (gigawatt hours), accounting for 60.4% of the global total; Six of the top ten global power battery companies are Chinese. How to build a globally competitive power battery industry in China is one of the topics of widespread concern among attendees at this conference.

Technological innovation is the primary factor in achieving the goal of 'from having to having good' power batteries. On June 2nd, the Executive Meeting of the State Council of China studied policy measures to promote the high-quality development of the new energy vehicle industry, specifically proposing to strengthen key core technology research in key areas such as power battery systems.

At the 2023 World Power Battery Conference, Wan Gang, Vice Chairman of the 13th CPPCC National Committee and Chairman of the Chinese Association for Science and Technology, pointed out that we should strengthen the research and development of the next generation power battery technology, scientifically judge the Technology roadmap of the next generation power battery, attach importance to the basic research and technology development of new materials and new system batteries represented by all Solid-state battery, and systematically solve engineering and technical problems such as key materials, new system batteries, system integration, etc, Promote industrial application and demonstration operation, conduct market and technology assessments, and provide leading experience for large-scale industrialization.

In addition to continuously promoting technological innovation, China still needs to build a resilient power battery industry chain. Miao Wei, a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Deputy Director of the Economic Committee, suggested in his keynote speech that efforts should be made to strengthen the supply and price stability of upstream materials for batteries, integrate resources, and increase the research and development of process technology and industrialization process; Improve competitiveness by reducing costs and increasing efficiency. He believes that as the raw materials, design, and structural technology of power batteries gradually mature, especially the top power battery companies achieving cost reduction and efficiency increase through economies of scale, the international competitiveness of Chinese power battery companies will further improve.

Ouyang Minggao, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and academician of the CAS Member, believes that the challenge of power batteries should be met with full life cycle intelligence to support design, manufacturing, management and recycling, so as to realize the acceleration, efficiency improvement and cost reduction of power batteries in the full life cycle.

Vice Minister of Industry and Information Technology of China, Xin Guobin, stated that he will strengthen the overall layout of industrial development, guide rational investment by social capital, and avoid blind expansion and disorderly development; Collaborate to promote energy supply, material supply, production and manufacturing, recycling and dismantling low-carbon; We will accelerate the introduction of management measures for the recycling of new energy vehicle traction batteries, and build a green and circular development ecosystem.

In addition, in the context of addressing climate change and accelerating the global green and low-carbon transformation, it is imperative to promote the green and low-carbon development of power batteries. In this regard, Miao Wei said that he would speed up the construction of the power battery Carbon footprint standard system, guide the industry upstream and downstream to establish a power battery Carbon footprint standard system suitable for China's national conditions, and connect with the international community in advance to help China's new energy vehicle industry chain to better "go global", Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report.
