CATL, China's largest automotive lithium-ion battery maker, announced that it has launched its own carbon neutrality plan, according to its chairman Robin Zeng Yuqun.
Carbon neutrality is a phenomenon in which the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by a company over a certain period of time is offset by the total amount of greenhouse gases it reduces through measures such as afforestation.
Based on the Paris Agreement, many companies around the world have proposed carbon neutrality plans.
Apple announced last July that it would achieve carbon neutrality across its business and manufacturing supply chain by 2030.
Ford Motor said in June last year that it plans to be carbon neutral globally by 2050.
Tencent's CEO Pony Ma announced in January that the company has moved forward with its carbon neutrality plan.
BYD also said in February that it had launched a carbon neutrality planning study.
Zeng, as a member of the CPPCC, recently submitted two proposals to accelerate the construction of new infrastructure for electrochemical energy storage and to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights for lithium batteries.
