China is scaling the electrification of the steel value chain through a strategic partnership between CATL and Jianlong Group. The plan involves deploying 3,000 electric heavy trucks and 100 battery swap stations to reduce diesel reliance from mines to mills. This industrial shift integrates on-site wind and solar power with battery storage to create zero-carbon industrial parks. By combining AI-driven logistics with green energy, the initiative aims to create a repeatable blueprint for decarbonizing hard-to-abate heavy industries globally.
