at present, lithium batteries are the main type of new energy batteries in china, with a focus on the three major application fields of consumption, power, and energy storage. among them, power batteries account for over 70%. according to data released by the ministry of industry and information technology recently, the annual total output value of lithium batteries in china exceeded trillion yuan for the first time in 2022, exceeding 1.2 trillion yuan. the relevant person in charge of the ministry of industry and information technology stated that for the entire lithium battery industry, with the achievement of china's carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, lithium batteries will play a crucial supporting role in the green transformation process, and the lithium battery industry will enter a period of rapid growth.
china's lithium battery industry is not only experiencing a period of rapid growth, but also leading the global market. catl, located in fujian province, is the world's largest lithium battery manufacturer. according to information released recently, the market share of catl 'global power battery usage will be 37.0% in 2022, up 4 percentage points from the same period last year, ranking first in the world for six consecutive years.
entering the battery production base of catl located in jiaocheng district, ningde, fujian province, the reporter saw that the third generation batteries that are being put on the market in batches are stepping up production here. unlike the previous generation, which is also the second generation battery, the advantage of this generation battery is to improve the energy density ratio of the battery by optimizing its spatial layout.
guided by the "dual carbon" goal, china is rapidly developing in the field of new energy storage, which cannot be separated from lithium batteries. the field of lithium-ion energy storage is also accelerating its application scenarios and ushering in a window of growth.
recently, a batch of new energy vehicle replacement power stations have been officially put into use in xiamen, fujian province. this type of power station can accommodate up to 48 standardized sized, chocolate like replacement batteries. new energy vehicles that come for replacement can replace a set of two power batteries in just 3 minutes, thereby achieving a range of 400 kilometers.
in addition to power replacement, lithium battery energy storage is also used in the field of photovoltaic energy storage and charging. in the central urban areas of fuzhou, ningde, and other places in fujian, a group of intelligent fast charging stations that have introduced "new energy energy storage" technology have also recently been put into use. collect and store solar energy by installing photovoltaic panels and large lithium-ion energy storage devices. not only local enterprises, but also central enterprises are actively deploying lithium battery energy storage applications. relying on 2.1 million sites, china tower has built a distributed power network and distributed energy storage system. at present, 57000 power grid change points have been deployed in more than 280 cities nationwide, providing more than 2 million power change services for 900000 takeaway riders and express delivery boys every day.
in ulanqab, inner mongolia, the key technology and engineering application of megawatt hour solid-state lithium-ion battery energy storage developed by three gorges group are undergoing debugging before grid connection. this project has achieved the first demonstration application of energy storage solid-state lithium-ion batteries globally, and the service life of solid-state ion batteries in the demonstration project can reach more than 6000 times. according to data from the ministry of industry and information technology, in 2022, china's production of energy storage lithium batteries exceeded 100 gigawatts per hour.
yang xudong, deputy director of the electronic information department of the ministry of industry and information technology, stated that last year, the cumulative installed growth rate of lithium-ion energy storage lithium-ion batteries in china exceeded 130%. the energy storage field is an important link in achieving our green electricity from power generation to application. we believe that there will be significant development in this field in the future.
the ministry of industry and information technology said that while accelerating the development of lithium battery industry, it will also promote the high-quality development of new battery and key material industries such as sodium battery, hydrogen fuel battery, flow battery and supercapacitor. at the same time, in terms of technological innovation, we will accelerate the integration and innovation of new batteries with solar photovoltaic, key information technologies, and key terminal applications, and promote the development of new batteries towards high safety, high energy density, long lifespan, and low cost. the ministry of industry and information technology will also release a new version of the "comprehensive standardization technical system for lithium ion batteries", accelerate the construction of a lithium battery full lifecycle traceability management system, and promote the level of industry recycling.
yang xudong also mentioned that we need to further implement the work of promoting the coordinated and stable development of the lithium-ion battery industry, the industrial chain, and supply chain, promoting effective coordination between supply and demand, and enhancing the resilience of the industrial chain and supply chain.
