CATL Achieves 2025 Core Operation Carbon Neutrality Target, Sets Path to 2035 Value-Chain Goal

NINGDE, China, Aug. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CATL today announced it had achieved its 2025 target of carbon neutrality across core operations as scheduled, with all 20 battery plants certified as carbon neutral, and unveiled its action roadmap toward full value-chain carbon neutrality by 2035. This signals that decarbonization has evolved from a corporate social responsibility to a core growth driver for CATL.

At a launch event held in Ningde on Monday, the company also called on global partners to accelerate decarbonization across the battery value chain. It announced procurement guidelines that require suppliers to provide carbon footprint data from 2027, and offers favorable terms to suppliers with better carbon emission performance.

“Before contributing to global carbon rules and standards, CATL must first prove what is possible through our own industrial practice,” said Robin Zeng, Chairman and CEO of CATL. “As the world ramps up efforts toward net-zero, zero-carbon batteries will not be a choice but a necessity in the near future. We are ready to share our technologies and experience with partners across the industry, helping to shape global carbon standards and advance industry-wide decarbonization.”

2025 Carbon Neutrality Target for Core Operations Delivered as Planned

Since the commissioning of our first battery factory in 2012, CATL has been exploring and validating every aspect of zero-carbon manufacturing. This has become an integral part of CATL. 

Jiang Li, Vice President, Board Secretary and Head of Corporate Sustainable Development Management Committee of CATL, said, “Carbon neutrality cannot be built on estimates alone. It requires reliable data, clear boundaries and systematic execution.”

To build this data foundation, CATL independently developed the CATL Carbon Chain Management System (CCMS) in 2022 to monitor and calculate carbon emissions at its plants and production lines. To date, CATL CCMS has covered carbon data across battery production operations and core upstream suppliers, generating more than 1,000 product and raw material models.

Based on this data system, CATL embeds decarbonization efforts across process and equipment optimization, battery design, green energy consumption, raw‑material sourcing and recycling.

In 2025, zero-carbon electricity accounted for 100% of electricity consumption in its core operations, with more than 18 billion kWh of zero-carbon power consumed cumulatively since 2023. Energy consumption per unit of product at its battery manufacturing bases decreased by 28% compared with 2022, below the industry average. Its carbon emission intensity decreased by approximately 77% compared with 2022. From 2023 to 2025, CATL delivered a cumulative carbon reduction of over 10 million tons of CO₂ equivalent, comparable to Brunei’s total national carbon emissions in 2025.

The milestone not only marks CATL’s first fulfilled carbon neutrality commitment, but also sets a new benchmark for carbon neutrality practices in the lithium-ion battery industry.

Advancing Toward Full Value-Chain Carbon Neutrality by 2035

More than 80% of carbon emissions across CATL’s product lifecycle stem from its supply chain, with total value-chain emissions exceeding five times those generated in core operations.

Bryan Huang, Head of Procurement Center at CATL, said: “CATL will advance value-chain decarbonization across key areas including material innovation, material manufacturing, green logistics, and battery recycling. This requires collaboration across the entire battery value chain.”

In terms of data management, baseline carbon data has been established for more than 100 core Tier 1 suppliers, and CATL aims to progressively achieve 100% data coverage across key upstream links.

For emissions reductions, CATL will pursue decarbonization in four pillars: material and process innovation, manufacturing, green logistics and battery recycling.

Material innovation: CATL is focusing on green material innovation and low-carbon process upgrades. For example, for anodes, the company is promoting the adoption of low‑carbon materials such as raw petroleum coke with lower moisture and volatile content.Material manufacturing: Given the energy-intensive nature of upstream raw material production, CATL has launched a green power coverage plan, targeting 100% green electricity usage across the value chain by 2035.Green logistics: Leveraging its advanced battery technology and battery swapping network, CATL is promoting 100% zero-carbon logistics solutions across the industry chain.Battery Recycling: CATL will continue to accelerate the development of a global battery recycling network through Brunp Recycling.

To support supplier decarbonization, CATL will issue its Green Procurement Guidelines requiring new suppliers to provide product carbon footprint data and incorporating renewable electricity usage and energy efficiency into annual supplier reviews. Under comparable conditions, suppliers with stronger low-carbon performance may be prioritized in order allocation and supported through long-term agreements.

CATL will also launch its Zero-Carbon Supply Chain Empowerment Initiative, launching in-depth joint decarbonization initiatives with an initial cohort of 30 core suppliers.

The economics of zero-carbon opens substantial new growth opportunities. CATL is making strong efforts in zero-carbon mobility, zero-carbon power, and the electrification of industries, with several application scenarios already implemented. Together with global partners, CATL aims to expand the zero-carbon economy, accelerate the global clean energy transition, and help create a more sustainable future.

BlazeHive’s AI SEO Agent Outranks Human Writers on 500+ Google Top-3 Results in 5 Months, on Autopilot

More than 150 keywords rank #1 on Google with an average position of 1.0. They held the top spot every day for 2 months straight. Behind them is BlazeHive, the AI SEO agent that does the work of a full SEO team: keyword strategy, writing, humanization, and daily publishing straight into the CMS. Agencies run it white-label across client accounts, and SEO professionals steer it through chat.

BERLIN, Aug. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The SEO industry has spent 2 years insisting AI content can’t rank. An autonomous agent spent 5 months proving it wrong, in Google’s own data.

BlazeHive, an AI SEO agent that runs SEO on autopilot, has taken more than 500 keywords into Google’s top 3 results and more than 1,500 onto page one since launching in March 2026. Google has shown its pages 2.77 million times. Every page was researched, written, humanized, and published by the agent itself, with no writers, editors, or prompts. The scoreboard is Google Search Console, Google’s own reporting system.

“Everyone in SEO repeats the same line: AI content doesn’t rank, Google will catch it, you still need humans in the loop,” said Yassine Rajallah, founder of BlazeHive. “Meanwhile our agent outranks human-written pages every single day, with Google’s own data keeping score.”

“The problem was never AI content,” he added. “It was lazy AI content. Google doesn’t rank origin, and it doesn’t even rank quality. It ranks reader signals. It’s simple really: does your page answer the intent fast enough and deep enough? Does the reader bounce back to the search results, or close the page satisfied? Most AI content fails those tests, not because a machine wrote it, but because nobody checked.”

That check is the product. Unlike an AI SEO tool that stops at recommendations, BlazeHive ships the work: before any page goes live, it passes a humanization gate built on 30,000+ documented AI writing patterns. Its targeting algorithm condenses 20 years of SEO and programmatic SEO experience, finding the sweet spot between buyer intent keywords and ease of ranking against giants, sometimes within hours. Keywords are cross-checked on live Google SERPs so no two pages compete.

The rest is full SEO automation: hand BlazeHive a URL and it studies the business, builds the strategy, then writes and publishes straight into WordPress, Webflow, Framer, Replit, Lovable, or any CMS via webhook. Pages are built to rank on Google and get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

BlazeHive is built for founders, SaaS teams, and agencies running it white-label, delivering the work of an SEO retainer without the retainer. BlazeHive runs its own sites on the same engine its customers use, which is where the 1,500 rankings came from.
