On May 20, 2026, the municipal ecology and environment bureau publicized the environmental impact report for a Jiangsu company’s project on high-value comprehensive recycling of waste LFP batteries and scraps to produce 10,000 tons of battery-grade lithium carbonate annually. After operation, the project will achieve a production scale of recycling 9,700 tons of retired LFP battery cells, 10,000 tons of scrap LFP battery cells, 8,000 tons of scrap LFP cathode sheets, and 42,000 tons of LFP black mass (25,000 tons battery black mass and 17,000 tons electrode sheet black mass) per year.

[SMM Analysis] In H1, the overflow of global utility-scale energy storage long-term contracts intertwined with the growing pains of production line upgrades. This not only completely shattered the cyclical pattern of "retreat after rapid rise" in the energy storage market, but also directly triggered a structural shortage and a strong price recovery for 314Ah battery cells. Furthermore, driven by the looming cancellation of tax rebates at year-end, an even more intense wave of "export rush" is gaining momentum, potentially pushing the full-year battle between volume and price to its peak.
