Report Summary
Since the 1980s, energy and environment have become two bottlenecks to the development of the human society. The Chinese economy got into the period of heavy industry. Demand for energy sources will grow rapidly. Therefore, there is an urgent demand for new energy sources. In February 2005, China promulgated the Law on Renewable Energy Sources, which took effect on January 1, 2006. To facilitate the building of an energy-saving and environmentally-friendly society, the goal of reducing energy consumption per unit of GDP value by 20% or so during the 11th Five-Year Plan period from the end of the 10th Five-Year Plan period was put forward at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China; the State established 18 key energy conservation fields, including industry, transportation, construction, commerce, and civil use, and 10 energy conservation projects.
In recent years, along with the rapid development of the IT manufacturing, the advanced battery industry that conforms to the trend of portable electronic products that are small in size has gained unprecedented development opportunities. After 2002, the advanced battery industry represented by lithium batteries, solar cells and fuel cells got into the period of fast growth. Driven by market demand in the downstream manufacturing industry and technological progress in the advanced battery industry, the industry chain for advanced batteries is improving, the intension of the industry is further enriching, and the trend of industry transfer is getting rational, showing strong development momentum.
China advanced battery material market is experiencing fast growth, with constant progress in technology and process. In market segments, the industry chain for lithium battery materials is relatively complete, and there is some advantage in supporting materials; the solar cell material market achieves rapid development and continuous technological progress, with immense market potential; the fuel cell material market suffers from insufficient funds, and breakthroughs need to be made in material preparation and process.
Advanced battery plays a leading role in developing energy technology, improving energy production and utilization efficiency. As the demand for advanced batteries grows, the Chinese Government will continue to provide policy and financial support for the research and development of advanced batteries. At the same time, continuously improving production technology and price advantages will enhance Chinese battery manufacturers competitiveness, and downstream products like mobile phone, notebook computer, digital camera, video camera and automobiles still have strong demand for advanced high-efficiency environmentally-friendly batteries. There is considerable development space for advanced batteries in China.
