Zaozhuang: “Lithium Battery Capital of Northern China” boosts urban development

ZAOZHUANG, China, Feb. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Raising the sails of “lithium” on the tides of urban development from the banks of the canal, in recent years, Zaozhuang has highlighted the priority of lithium battery industry, strived to build a city of green, safe and new energy, and accelerated the construction of “Lithium Battery Capital of Northern China“.

Although Zaozhuang is an old energy base, it is one of the cities where the lithium battery industry started earlier in China. Starting to explore the lithium battery industry as early as 2003, Zaozhuang has become the third gathering area of the industry after Guangdong province and Tianjin city.

Since 2021, Zaozhuang city has been vigorously implementing the strategy of “strengthening and revitalizing the city by industry”, actively building a “6+3” modern industrial system, and cultivating the lithium battery industry as the focus of accelerating the city’s green and low-carbon transformation.

Zaozhuang adhered to the regional layout, planned the “1+3+3” industrial layout plan, clarified the positioning of the lithium battery industry in each district (city), and promoted the formation of an industrial development pattern of “one core leading, multi-point supporting, and whole city linking”.

At present, Zaozhuang has formed a relatively complete industrial chain from lithium mining and processing to the four key materials of positive electrode, negative electrode, separator film, and electrolyte, and power battery manufacturing, inspection and testing, terminal application, and dismantling and recycling. A group of leading enterprises of lithium battery were attracted to make investment. Step by step, a bright future for the development of the lithium battery industry is coming into reality.
