CATL, China Risun Group forge strategic partnership to advance low-carbon transformation in chemical industry

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On November 24, 2025, CATL and China Risun Group signed a broad strategic cooperation agreement aimed at accelerating low-carbon transformation across the traditionally high-energy-consumption chemical sector, according to post on CATL's WeChat account.

The partnership will span renewable-energy development, new-generation energy-storage applications, transportation electrification, EV charging and battery-swap infrastructure, and the construction of zero-carbon industrial parks.

China Risun Group is a major player in China's energy and chemical industry, operating across coal chemicals, new energy, mining, advanced materials, and digital technologies. With eleven production bases worldwide, the company is the world's largest independent producer and supplier of coke, the leading processor of crude benzene, the second-largest maker of caprolactam globally, and China's biggest producer of methanol derived from coke-oven gas.

The collaboration aims to pair CATL's strengths in battery technology R&D, product innovation, and global scale with Risun's extensive experience in modern low-carbon coal-chemicals, basic chemical production, new materials, and industrial-park development. Together, the companies intend to create a new model that integrates chemicals and new energy, offering a scalable Chinese blueprint for industrial decarbonization worldwide.

Following the signing, the two sides will establish a long-term collaboration framework to jointly advance technology development, market expansion, and ecosystem building. Their shared goal is to help shift the chemical industry from its reputation as a high-energy-use sector toward a high-quality, low-carbon growth path.
