On November 17, at the China Pavilion during the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL), also known as Ningde Times in the local context, teamed up with authoritative organizations like the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) to jointly announce four significant zero - carbon accomplishments.

Ningde Times is relentlessly driving forward the development of 'zero - carbon factories'. It harnesses the power of distributed photovoltaic systems and its in - house developed intelligent management systems at the factory level. Through these efforts, it steadily boosts the proportion of green electricity consumption.

By the close of 2024, Ningde Times is set to have established nine zero - carbon battery factories. In these facilities, zero - carbon electricity will make up 75% of the total electricity used, and there will be a 21% decline in carbon emission intensity per unit of product.

Moreover, relying on its self - developed 'Times Carbon Chain' system, the company has built a carbon footprint database for its supply chain and laid out specific goals. It aims to have 100% of its first - tier suppliers use zero - carbon electricity by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality across the entire value chain by 2035.
