CATL and CECEP Expand Cooperation in PV and Energy Storage

Battery manufacturer Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) has signed an expanded strategic cooperation agreement with China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Group (CECEP). This agreement broadens the collaboration between the 2 companies across perovskite PV, energy storage, carbon-neutral projects, and overseas green mining.

The collaboration plans to work towards industrializing and mass-producing perovskite photovoltaic technology. On the storage side, it bets on sodium-ion technology, which offers improved safety, low-temperature performance, and cost competitiveness in large-scale storage projects. CATL will supply lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and liquid-cooled battery systems to CECEP.

The partnership’s goals also include developing a ‘carbon-neutral island’ demonstration project in the Hainan Free Trade Port and promoting carbon-neutral mining solutions in Belt and Road countries using electric mining trucks and integrated energy storage systems.

In May, CATL signed a strategic agreement with HyperStrong to supply 60 GWh of sodium-ion batteries over the next 3 years (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
