Breaking down the five key policies of the 2016 battery industry

The strategic height of China's new energy vehicle industry has driven the rise of the power lithium-ion battery industry. However, the policies and regulations that guide and regulate the battery industry are still in the stage of system construction and improvement. In 2016, the government authorities issued five key policies in the battery field. These policies related to the industry standard conditions, battery code, size and recycling management methods of power batteries, which have a profound impact on the battery industry.

I. "Regulations on the Standards of Automotive Power Battery Industry": Enterprises without a catalogue face challenges

This year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the second, third and fourth batches of the "Regulations on the Standard Conditions of Automotive Power Battery Industry" (hereinafter referred to as "Standard Conditions"). So far, a total of 57 battery companies have entered the catalogue, and the most selected batch of enterprises is the fourth. Up to 32 batches were approved, and one battery system company was selected in the batch.

The "Regulations" are intended to guide the healthy development of the automotive power battery industry and meet the needs of the development of the new energy vehicle industry. China's "New Energy Vehicle Promotion and Application Recommended Model Catalogue" is linked to the "Regulations". In the recommended catalogue of new energy vehicles, only the power battery in the "Regulations" catalogue can be used to obtain the corresponding subsidies, which will inevitably be part of Enterprises with technical, production or capacity failures are excluded, and some enterprises may face the risk of being eliminated. In the first few months of 2016, vehicle and battery companies were busy: battery companies were busy preparing for entry into the catalog, and vehicle companies were busy replacing battery suppliers that were not in the catalog.

Second, " Electric Vehicle Power Battery Product Specification Size" "Automobile Power Battery Code" (Draft for Comment): Standardization is the trend of the times

On October 18, it was issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The Equipment Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology commissioned the National Automobile Standardization Technical Committee to organize relevant units to study and formulate the "Specifications and Dimensions of Power Battery Products for Electric Vehicles" (hereinafter referred to as "Power Battery Specifications") and "Automobile Power". Battery Code (hereinafter referred to as "Power Battery Code"). According to the "Power Battery Specifications" draft, the vehicle power battery is divided into three categories: cylindrical, square, and soft package. The size, size, and size series of the unit, module, and system (battery box) are recommended. "Power Battery Code" encodes the power battery and strengthens the life cycle traceability management of the power battery.

The uniformity and standardization of power battery product specifications are the trend of the times, which will help to further increase the market concentration of domestic power batteries, reduce the cost of power battery manufacturing and the pressure of vehicle manufacturers. At the same time, the recovery efficiency of power batteries will also increase. At present, battery companies, system integration companies, vehicle manufacturers and battery recycling companies are actively promoting the uniform size of power batteries. Compared with foreign industries, China's power battery industry standards are slightly lagging behind. The above-mentioned power battery specifications and coding related policies also allow us to see the country's determination to regulate the development of the power battery industry and improve industrial concentration.

Third, "Lithium-ion battery integrated standardization technology system": standardize and lead the industry development

On November 9, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a notice on the issuance of the "Lithium-ion battery integrated standardization technology system" (hereinafter referred to as "Technical System"). The document pointed out that the integrated standardization technology system for lithium-ion batteries mainly includes five categories and 18 sub-categories, including basic general materials, materials and components, design and manufacturing processes, manufacturing and testing equipment, and battery products, covering a total of 231 standard projects. "Technical System" sets the future goal - by 2020, the technical level of lithium-ion battery standard has reached the international level, and initially formed a scientific and rational, advanced technology, coordinated and integrated lithium-ion battery comprehensive standardization technical system, 80 standards for revision and revision. Among them, 70 new ones (3 mandatory standards and 67 recommended standards) were revised, and 10 recommended standards were revised to meet the development needs of the lithium-ion battery industry.

This document plays an important role in promoting the healthy and orderly development of the lithium-ion battery industry and further enhancing the guidance, regulation and guidance of standards for industrial development.

Fourth, "Automobile Power Battery Industry Standard Conditions (2017)" (Draft for Comment): Release industry integration signals

On November 22nd, the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the “Conditions for Automotive Power Battery Industry (2017)” (hereinafter referred to as “Standard Conditions (2017)”). "Standard Conditions (2017)" has greatly revised the production capacity, safety requirements, research and development capabilities of battery companies, and some places have undergone tremendous changes. The "Regulation Document (2017)" modifies the term "power battery" to "power battery". In terms of production capacity, the annual production capacity of lithium-ion power battery cells is not less than 8 billion watt-hours (compared to the "standard conditions for automotive power battery industry", the requirement is expanded by 40 times); metal hydride nickel power battery cells enterprises The annual production capacity is not less than 100 million watt-hours (expanded by 10 times); the annual output capacity of system enterprises is not less than 80,000 sets or 4 billion watt-hours (expanded by 8 times). Production of various types of power battery cells enterprises, system enterprises, their annual production capacity must meet the above requirements. At present, only the BYD family can reach the target. After the expansion of CATL at the end of the year, it is just enough to pass the line. The new battery regulations have become a hot topic in the industry.

Under the background of economic structural transformation and upgrading, a healthy industry should be led by several large-scale powerful enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises competing to participate. The standards are set high and companies must work in this direction. The new rules release the signal: Encourage companies to be leaders in the industry, where productivity, technology and innovation are indispensable. Only by eliminating backward production capacity and concentrating on superior production capacity to promote the performance of power battery products, it is possible for China's new energy automobile industry to achieve a qualitative leap.

V. Interim Measures for the Administration of Recycling and Utilization of New Energy Vehicle Power Battery (Draft for Comment): The implementation is not difficult

On December 1, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology promulgated the "Interim Measures for the Management of Recycling and Utilization of New Energy Vehicles' Power Battery" (draft for comments). This method clarifies the principle of recycling of power batteries, stressing the implementation of the system of extension of producer responsibility, which is undertaken by automobile manufacturers. The main responsibility of the power battery recycling and utilization. The method adheres to the concept of product life cycle and follows the principle of organic unity of economic, social and environmental benefits, emphasizing the full play of the role of the market.

This approach is conducive to promoting the comprehensive utilization of resources, protecting the environment on which we depend, and providing guarantees for the sustainable and healthy development of the power battery recycling industry and the entire battery industry. Although this method has guided the recycling of new energy vehicle power batteries to a certain extent, the implementation is still difficult to implement. At present, domestic new energy vehicle power battery recycling technology and supporting facilities have not kept up with the development pace of electric vehicles , and many problems need to be resolved.

China has the world's largest new energy vehicle market, so it also has a broad market for power battery applications, as well as battery manufacturers with second and third largest shipments worldwide. The development of China's power battery industry has a huge impact on the development of the global power battery industry. The past 2016 is a year in the tort of China's power battery industry, and it is also a year of change in the process of advancement. China's power battery industry policy system has been continuously improved, and power battery products have begun to stand at the height of traceability and recyclability in the whole life cycle, and are moving toward standardization and standardization. Focusing on the healthy development of the power battery industry, the country has effectively linked the power battery industry with the new energy vehicle industry and the upstream materials industry, and has adopted policies to guide the industry to develop towards clean and sustainable green. The results are worthy of recognition.
