Deputy Zhang Xiaorong believes that at present, domestic battery production enterprises and new energy vehicle enterprises lack a unified plan for the recycling of power batteries that exceed the warranty period, and there is a gap in funds for the development of the lithium battery industry. technology and infrastructure construction are relatively weak.

SMM5: with the rapid development of new energy industry, the use of new energy batteries is more and more widely used in various fields. Due to the slow development of the consumer market of new energy vehicles, the market for energy storage applications of new energy batteries has been gradually opened.

Deputy Zhang Xiaorong believes that at present, domestic battery production enterprises and new energy vehicle enterprises lack a unified plan for the recycling of power batteries that exceed the warranty period, and there is a gap in funds for the development of the lithium battery industry. technology and infrastructure construction are relatively weak.

Deputy Zhang Xiaorong suggested that support be further increased at the national level. First, the state has issued relevant policies to further support the lithium battery energy storage market, encouraging existing power stations to build energy storage power stations of not less than 5% of the total installed capacity every year, and configuring energy storage power station systems for new wind and photovoltaic power stations according to a certain proportion of the total installed capacity, increase the proportion of new energy power access to the power grid, and speed up the demonstration and application of energy storage promotion. The second is to open up the energy storage markets of countries related to the Belt and Road Initiative and further promote international energy cooperation. The third is to speed up the construction of the overall recycling system of the industrial chain, the state issued relevant standards, the specification requires power batteries to adopt standard versatility and easy to disassemble structure, and in accordance with the national unified coding standards for cascade use of battery coding and labeling. Fourth, taking the construction of a clean energy demonstration province in Qinghai and the establishment of a 100 billion yuan lithium battery industry base in Xining as an opportunity, it is proposed to set up an industrial development fund to support the research and development of key technologies, supporting infrastructure in the park, and supporting the development of enterprises.

Zhang Xiaorong, deputy to the National people's Congress and mayor of Xining, Qinghai, suggested: increase investment in the western region and further speed up the construction of major infrastructure projects and livelihood projects in the western region, so that people in the western region can enjoy balanced public services; speed up the preliminary work of the railway from Xining to Yushu to Changdu to support the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative. We will further support national logistics hubs such as Xining and Lanzhou, and strengthen the infrastructure construction of major passenger and freight hubs.
