According to a post on CATL’s Weibo account, today, at the 2026 CATL Core Operations Carbon Neutrality Launch Conference, Huang Bin, Director of CATL’s Procurement Center and Director of the Planning and Materials Control Department, said that more than 80% of carbon emissions across the full life cycle of lithium batteries come from various links in the supply chain. In the next phase, CATL’s goal is to achieve carbon neutrality across the entire value chain—from mineral resources to finished batteries—by 2035. To achieve this goal, the key lies in coordinated efforts across the supply chain. From accurately accounting for its carbon footprint to the end-to-end process of targeted emissions reduction, CATL broke down the goals in detail and formulated a specific action plan.
