Company Overview - Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Co., Ltd. is the first A+H listed company in China's lithium industry, with A-share code 002460 and H-share code 01772. The company has developed industrial technologies for lithium extraction from brine, ore, and recycling, forming five major business segments: lithium resource development, lithium salt deep processing, lithium metal smelting, lithium battery manufacturing, and lithium battery recycling. It produces over 40 types of lithium compounds and lithium metal products, making it one of the most comprehensive manufacturers in the lithium product supply chain [1]. Green Transition Initiatives - In response to the critical background of green transformation, the company is enhancing its research and manufacturing capabilities for power battery technology, expanding advanced production capacity for high-nickel ternary and solid-state batteries in phases to meet electric vehicle market demand. The company is also accelerating the iteration of household energy storage products and strengthening commercial energy storage solutions, including the development and promotion of integrated solar-storage applications [2]. - The company is advancing battery recycling capacity construction and improving its vertical integration capabilities in the "retired battery-black powder lithium-recycled materials" process. Through technological innovation, it aims to enhance lithium recycling rates and actively align with domestic and international policies to build a policy-driven recycled lithium salt supply system, specifically enhancing the production capacity and technical standards for recycled materials [2]. Sustainable Projects - The company has launched green solutions, first applied to its own projects. For instance, in the Mariana project in Argentina, a photovoltaic power station with an installed capacity of 120 MW was built, equipped with a 288 MWh energy storage system using self-developed batteries, ensuring the project operates entirely on renewable energy with stable power supply for 24 hours. Additionally, the domestic transportation segment has been fully electrified, with external transport widely using electric vehicles, resulting in a reduction of approximately 1,265.85 tons of CO2 emissions at the Ma Hong ten-thousand-ton lithium salt factory through oil-to-electricity conversion [2]. - Internal transportation utilizes electric forklifts and loaders, with each electric forklift reducing emissions by approximately 53.39 tons annually and each electric loader by about 220.53 tons. All power batteries used are sourced from the company's own production, creating a "green closed-loop" value chain from raw materials to products [2]. Future Development Plans - In 2024, the lithium chemical segment plans to research brine extraction technology to replace traditional salt flat evaporation, significantly reducing the area required for salt flats and freshwater usage, while improving lithium recovery rates and saving costs. The lithium battery segment focuses on solid-state batteries and mobile energy storage, developing power batteries for various applications and entering the commercial energy storage market [3]. - The company is establishing a comprehensive value chain system that includes production technology optimization, waste raw material recycling, capacity construction, and industrial cluster development in the lithium circular economy. Through industry-academia-research cooperation, it is advancing "circular economy projects" to expand resource reserves and enhance utilization efficiency. These initiatives aim to reduce carbon footprints while solidifying market competitiveness and expanding shares in emerging markets, achieving a win-win in economic and environmental benefits [3].
