Zeng Yuqun in Ningde Times: China's research on battery carbon footprints is obviously backward

21st Century Business Herald Reporter Zuo Maoxuan Beijing report

"In the era of comprehensive electrification, power batteries must not only be advanced, but also green. According to the China Automobile Research Report, pure electric vehicles have contributed very obvious in the carbon reduction in the fuel cycle. At the same time 40%, so after the implementation of comprehensive electrification, the carbon reduction of power batteries itself is particularly important. "On August 27, Zeng Yuqun, the founder, chairman and general manager of Ningde Times, said at the World New Energy Automobile Conference in 2022.

Zeng Yuqun said that the standards, policies, and regulatory research on power battery carbon footprints have taken the lead in promoting and accelerated. The European Battery Law, which is being legislated, clearly states that in 2024, it is required to publicize the carbon footprint of its battery products, implement hierarchical management in 2026, and implement mandatory management in 2027. The United States has just legislated to pass the inflation reduction bill to accelerate the development of the power battery industry chain. At the same time, the US Senate also proposed to formulate a clean competition bill. The carbon attributes of battery products have become the focus of the next monitoring of Europe and the United States.

As a large battery production country, China has obviously lagging behind battery carbon footprints. Coping climate change is the common responsibility of all human beings. The supervision of battery carbon footprints should also form a global unified standard, and it is necessary to empower international empowerment. The formulation of standards should be supported based on scientific methodology and fully database. The establishment of these methodology and databases requires a large amount of actual data of the entire industry chain.

China, Japan and South Korea are the world's largest battery industry gathering area, especially China. It has absolute advantages in the battery industry chain. The four major main materials and battery products supply the world. Therefore, China and Asia should be more proactive in the formulation of global carbon footprint standards and regulations, and they should make greater contributions.

However, at present, due to the absence of international carbon footprint standards in Asia, many key basic data have not been updated in time, resulting in a significant high carbon footprint produced by China, Japan and South Korea, which is significantly inconsistent with the actual situation.

"The composition of the carbon footprint of battery products mainly comes from the carbon emissions of the upstream. Even so, we still have to find a way to carry responsibility and comprehensively study the carbon reduction of the whole life cycle. For this reason, we have carried out a large number of work, covering M2C, C2R, R2C, and R2C, and R2C, and R2C, and R2C, and R2C, and R2C, and R2C, and R2C, and R2C, and R2C, and R2C, and R2C, and R2C, and R2C, and R2C. In the whole process of C2P, our goal is to provide customers with a performance absolute advantage, but also has obvious competitiveness in carbon footprints. "Zeng Yuqun said.

In the carbon reduction measures, the use of recycling materials on a large scale is an important means to achieve low -carbonization of battery. Through process technology upgrades, it iterates to separate the purification system, and the equipment is automated. The recovery rate of nickel, tungsten, and manganese can reach 99.3%, and the recovery rate of lithium can reach 90%. In the first quarter of this year, more than 21,300 tons of waste batteries were recovered. And these waste batteries produced more than 18,000 tons of front -wheel drive. Based on the composition of power battery carbon footprints, measures such as green power and large -scale recycling, energy conservation and consumption reduction, and technical process upgrade can be reduced. Based on the offset of some carbon exchange, zero -carbon batteries can be realized. Here are a deep research on the entire industrial chain, and it is necessary to have a strong control of the industrial chain to achieve it.

Zeng Yuqun believes that promoting the development of green batteries, in addition to the company's own efforts, also requires the government to introduce various encouragement policies so that consumers and car companies can get real benefits in the use of green batteries.

For example, in the "dual points" or free purchase tax, the conditions of battery carbon footprint should be set up. Only electric vehicles with low carbon footprint can get points, or you can enjoy the free purchase tax policies; it is recommended to study the power battery carbon points. The policy encourages the development of green low -carbon batteries. In addition, the battery recycling policy should be further improved to provide policy guarantee for the large -scale use of recycled materials for battery companies to use regenerative materials.
