Project investment│Ningde era to study next-generation battery, invest 3.3 billion to build a laboratory of 1,000 people-Reprinted

On June 24th, the battery network learned from the Ningde Times official that the company's 21C Innovation Lab officially laid the foundation in Ningde, Fujian.

It is reported that 21C Innovation Lab will rely on the strong engineering research and development strength of the Ningde era, focusing on the research of cutting-edge basic problems in the field of energy storage and transformation, and is committed to becoming an innovative highland and a technology leader in the global new energy field. The laboratory has a total investment of 3.3 billion yuan and covers an area of ​​about 270 acres. The construction period of the project is from 2019 to 2023. It is expected that the part will be completed and put into use by the end of 2021, and it is planned to grow to a thousand people in the next five years. The establishment of 21C Innovation Lab marks the beginning of a new stage in the exploration of cutting-edge technology in the field of new energy in the Ningde era.

Zeng Yuqun, chairman of Ningde Times and director of 21C Innovation Lab, said at the groundbreaking ceremony that science and technology enterprises are leading innovation, and 21C Innovation Lab upholds the Ningde era \"practice basic skills, play imagination\" innovation concept, while supplemented by an innovative system The mechanism will promote the bursting of innovative forces, and strive to leave a strong mark in the history of technological reform. We will live up to the times, live up to the expectations, and bear fruit early.

The data shows that Ningde Times was established in 2011. Its business covers the research and development, production and sales of new energy vehicle power battery systems and energy storage systems. It has the fields of power and energy storage batteries including materials, batteries, battery systems, and battery recycling. Core technology.

According to a report released by the Economic Research Institute of Yiwei, in May 2020, the export value of China's lithium-ion batteries fell by 18.3% year-on-year. The export value of Ningde Times, a leading Chinese lithium-ion battery company, was 147 million yuan in May 2020, which was basically the same as that in April and a year-on-year increase of 19.6%. Among them, the batteries exported by the Ningde era accounted for 85.41% of the power batteries for automobiles, 13.59% of the start-stop batteries for automobiles, and 1.00% for energy storage batteries; the export batteries were mainly ternary, accounting for Up to 95.01%, while the lithium iron phosphate battery accounted for only 4.99%
