Against the backdrop of the critical phase in advancing global carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, Carbonology Co., Ltd. (“Carbonology”) and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) have formally signed a strategic cooperation memorandum. Leveraging their respective industrial strengths, the two parties will deepen collaboration in the zero-carbon sector, accelerate the integrated application of carbon technology and new energy technology, and deliver innovative decarbonization solutions for hard-to-abate industries worldwide.

Carbonology’s core mission is to manufacture carbon-based products using carbon dioxide captured from ambient air as an alternative to petroleum. The company has built a full-value chain spanning carbon capture to high-value conversion, supporting global energy security and the delivery of carbon neutrality targets. Focused primarily on Direct Air Capture (DAC), Carbonology captures CO₂ from the atmosphere. Powered by AI-enabled precise regulation and optimization across all workflows and running the entire carbon conversion chain on 100% renewable electricity, the company is scaling what it calls “industrial photosynthesis”. This process transforms carbon dioxide — a greenhouse gas — into high-value carbon-based products, facilitating the decarbonization of pivotal sectors including aviation. Its R&D and Innovation Center in Lingang, Shanghai, is now operational. Moving forward, Carbonology will continue advancing the commercial rollout of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), supplying consistent, reliable negative-carbon fuel solutions for hard-to-abate industries such as aviation.

As the world’s leading supplier of power batteries and energy storage solutions, CATL boasts profound technological expertise and extensive industrial resources in renewable energy storage and energy management. A globally pioneering zero-carbon new energy technology enterprise, CATL strives to deliver premium solutions and services for new energy applications across the globe. Through its comprehensive growth strategy, it is building a zero-carbon energy ecosystem to drive energy transition and sustainable development.

Guided by the principles of mutual trust, coordinated development, complementary strengths and shared benefits, the two sides will jointly foster a zero-carbon industrial ecosystem under this strategic partnership. This alliance represents a powerful collaboration bridging carbon technology and the new energy industry. Through technological coordination and resource sharing, Carbonology and CATL will jointly bolster core competitiveness in the zero-carbon space and speed up the commercialization of carbon and new energy technologies. Moving forward, the partnership will continuously unlock synergies delivering greater-than-sum outcomes. It will aid the development of a clean, low-carbon, secure and efficient modern energy system, inject fresh momentum into global carbon neutrality efforts, and offer a replicable Chinese model for carbon source substitution.
