CATL has established a wholly owned subsidiary, Times Dacheng (Yancheng) Energy Technology Co., Ltd., to expand its footprint in climate technology. The new entity focuses on research and development for carbon reduction, carbon conversion, capture, and sequestration. Beyond carbon management, the company will provide technical services for wind and solar power generation and energy storage systems. This move signals CATL's intent to integrate battery storage with broader decarbonization and renewable energy services.

CATL is moving fast into the full stack. The carbon capture part is interesting, but I want to see the actual capacity targets. Are they building a pilot plant or just a research office?

It depends on the local incentives in Yancheng. If there are specific subsidies for carbon sequestration, the R&D will move toward commercial scale quickly. Without a clear carbon price, these subsidiaries often stay in the research phase.

Basically CATL is diversifying. They are moving from just making batteries to managing the whole carbon and energy cycle. Worth watching if they can actually scale the capture tech.
