Didn’t someone claim that China only exports wind turbines and don’t actually use them itself???

Paper analyzing the >$1 trillion investments in renewable energy and associated sectors since 2019. No prizes for guessing who leads the pack.

Nearly half of the announced investments, led by more than 500 companies in 54 countries, are in battery technology. The range of countries belies the dominant role that China and Chinese companies play, with 55 percent of total announced clean manufacturing investments from Chinese companies. China has built enormous manufacturing capacity domestically, and increasingly, grown production abroad to skirt trade restrictions and assert itself as the global leader in the future of energy.

China leads the global supply chain by every metric. China dominates battery supply chains, controlling over 70 percent of cell manufacturing and most of the processing of minerals that go into these batteries. Among the 25 companies with the highest announced clean‑energy manufacturing investment, 14 are headquartered in China, reflecting the global leadership of Chinese companies. Put another way, there are 86 Chinese companies that have announced more than $1 billion in manufacturing investments, compared with 19 U.S. companies.

Zhenhua New Materials: Its 100-ton-scale pilot production line for polyanionic materials is currently undergoing comprehensive evaluation and verification.​

Recently, Zhenhua New Materials stated during an institutional survey that its layered oxide sodium-ion battery cathode material has completed multiple generations of product iterations and has been successfully installed in vehicles. Its 100-ton-scale pilot production line for polyanion materials is currently undergoing comprehensive evaluation and verification. For high-energy-density applications such as semi-solid/condensed/solid-state batteries, the company's independently developed solid electrolyte oxides and their modified ternary materials, along with lithium-rich manganese-based cathode materials, have been sampled to leading downstream customers. The composite solid electrolyte has achieved stable ton-scale production, and the company is collaborating with several major domestic battery companies to advance verification and the construction of a 1,000-ton-scale pilot production line.

In the field of sodium-ion battery cathode materials, the company has mastered the core preparation processes of two mainstream technical routes: layered oxide and polyanion. Currently, the company's dedicated line for layered oxide sodium-ion battery cathodes has an annual production capacity of approximately 5,000 tons, and its existing medium-nickel and medium-high nickel ternary production lines can also be used to produce sodium-ion battery materials.

According to reports, Zhenhua New Materials' polyanionic materials improve electrode compaction density and battery energy density by optimizing particle size distribution. They are mainly used in UPS start-stop batteries, energy storage and other fields, and can also be mixed with layered oxide materials for use in low-end electric vehicles and heavy trucks.
