On June 21, 2024, the Nanjing Municipal Government and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) signed a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement focused on building a net zero carbon city.

Under the agreement, the two parties will deepen cooperation in areas such as photovoltaic and energy storage demonstration, electrification in the transportation sector, energy innovation platforms, and zero-carbon park development. They will also explore the integrated development of a complete industrial ecosystem, encompassing R&D, production, and recycling.

Several districts of Nanjing also signed separate cooperation agreements with CATL's subsidiaries on the same day, including those between Xuanwu District and Contemporary Amperex Energy Service Technology Ltd (CAES), between Lishui District and Contemporary Amperex Intelligence Technology (Shanghai) Limited (CAIT-SH) and Fugu Auto, and between Jiangning Economic Development Zone and Contemporary Green Energy (CGE). These agreements will see the implementation of projects for charging and battery swapping, personalized vehicles based on skateboard chassis, and photovoltaic power generation as the first stage of cooperation.

Nanjing is a national model city for green and low-carbon development. By seizing the significant strategic opportunity brought out by the new round of the energy revolution, Nanjing is working to accelerate rebuilding and improving industrial foundations, upgrading industrial chains, and enhancing the coverage of intelligent and green initiatives. CATL will assist Nanjing in building a net zero carbon city by leveraging its leading technology and advantages in a comprehensive industrial chain.
