BYD Battery, through its FinDreams unit, signed strategic cooperation agreements with the municipal governments of Yingkou and Liaoyang in China's Liaoning province. The deals focus on zero-carbon demonstration projects, electrified port logistics, and new energy supply chain development. Under the Yingkou agreement, the partners will work on the Future Zero-Carbon Port City initiative, which includes electric heavy trucks for container drayage and steel plant transfers, integrated solar-storage-charging stations, source-grid-load-storage systems, and a carbon emission monitoring platform. Battery recycling is also part of the plan to create a circular industrial system around the port. In Liaoyang, BYD Battery, the local government, and Xiamen Xiangyu Group signed a three way framework agreement. It targets battery structural parts and new materials using Xiangyu's aluminum supply chain, along with combined new energy heavy truck and solar-storage-charging solutions. The two sides will set up annual talks and task forces to keep the projects moving.

BYD Battery signed cooperation deals with two Liaoning cities, Yingkou and Liaoyang, tied to zero-carbon port work, e-truck fleets, and solar-storage-charging hubs. Yingkou's piece includes a 'zero-carbon port city' demo and battery recycling loop. Still mostly framework language, no capacity or investment numbers, so worth watching whether these turn into actual projects.

The part that matters is the 'source-grid-load-storage' system at the port and the charging for heavy trucks. Port drayage is short and predictable, which is one of the better early fits for battery electric trucks. But the article does not say how much charging capacity they plan or how the grid connection gets built. That is where these MOUs usually stall.

Zero-carbon demonstration projects always sound good in a signing ceremony. The question is what counts as zero carbon and who checks it. They mention a carbon emission monitoring platform, but not whether it follows a recognized standard or feeds into a registry. If the goal is real decarbonization, the accounting framework needs to be public and verifiable.

Battery recycling is the underrated piece here. A green circular system at the port makes sense because the trucks, charging stations, and batteries all stay in a fairly contained area. Also interesting that Liaoyang brings in Xiangyu's aluminum supply chain for battery structural parts, which shortens the materials loop. More vertical integration, less shipping around.

These are strategic agreements, so expect a lot of work before ground breaks. The Yingkou plan calls for an annual construction schedule with BYD Battery, which at least gives a timeline. Liaoyang adds a three way deal with Xiamen Xiangyu for aluminum supply and new energy heavy trucks. Watch for actual procurement orders, not just ceremony photos.
