New energy vehicle battery recycling industry closed-loop will become

Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Commerce, the State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, and the State Energy Administration jointly issued the "Pilot Implementation Plan for the Recovery and Utilization of New Energy Vehicle Power Battery"(hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). In selected areas such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and the central region, pilot projects for the recycling and utilization of new-energy automotive power batteries will be carried out, with pilot areas as the center and radiation to the surrounding areas.

At the same time, the competent departments of industry and information technology in the relevant pilot areas are required to consult the competent departments of science and technology, environmental protection, transportation, commerce, quality inspection and energy at the same level, and to organize the preparation of pilot implementation plans for their respective regions in accordance with the requirements of the implementation plans. The declared materials will be submitted to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology(Department of Energy Conservation and Comprehensive Utilization) before March 30, 2018. To this end, the seven departments also issued the "Guidelines for the Preparation of Pilot Implementation Programmers for the Recovery and Utilization of New Energy Vehicle Power Battery"(hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines") to guide local governments in the preparation of pilot programs.

It is not difficult to see from the simultaneous release of the Programmer and the Guidelines and the time node requirements that decision makers hope to implement the Interim Measures on the Recovery and Utilization Management of New Energy Vehicle Power Batteries, which were just issued at the end of January 2018, through enhanced implementation and operability. The purpose is to explore the recycling mode of the used power battery with strong technology economy and friendly resource environment, and to promote the construction of the recycling system. In the eyes of the industry, the policy system for the healthy development of the new energy vehicle market in China is gradually improving. In particular, the recycling and utilization of power batteries is related to the formation of closed-loop new energy vehicle industry. The policy is the first, and early layout will help the new energy automobile industry to develop healthily. At the same time, it can avoid the disassembly of parts related to the new energy car market.

Policy lead new energy vehicle battery recycling industry closed-loop will become

Targeted, intended to build a recycling system

With the development of the new energy vehicle market in China, the recycling of power batteries is destined to be a major problem that can not be avoided. After all, for China's new energy car market, which already occupies the top position in the world's new energy car market, the recycling and utilization of batteries as early as possible will help the market to develop sustainably in the long term. It is worth mentioning that under the promotion of policies, China became the world's largest market for new energy vehicles as early as the first half of 2015 and continues to this day. The industry expects that in 2018, new energy vehicles will exceed the sales scale of one million vehicles.

At the same time, the industry has always been worried about the stability, durability, and mileage of new energy car batteries. In particular, the treatment of used batteries is not only the heart disease of all new energy owners, but also one of the focus of decision makers. To this end, the "plan" proposes that by 2020, it will establish and improve the recycling and utilization system of power batteries, and explore the formation of innovative business cooperation models for power battery recycling and utilization. We will build a number of demonstration production lines for regenerative use, build a number of advanced demonstration projects for the efficient recovery and high-value use of decommissioned power batteries, cultivate a number of Benchmark enterprises for the recycling and utilization of power batteries, and develop and popularize key technologies for the recycling and utilization of power batteries. We issued a number of relevant technical standards for the recycling and utilization of power batteries, and put forward policies and measures to promote the recycling and utilization of power batteries.

In terms of the pilot content, the program defines four aspects: building a recycling system, exploring diversified business models, promoting advanced technology innovation and application, and establishing and improving policy incentive mechanisms, including the recycling system. The Plan calls for the full implementation of the extended producer responsibility system, whereby automobile manufacturers, battery manufacturers, scrap automobile recycling and dismantling enterprises and comprehensive utilization enterprises will cooperate to build and share recycling channels for used power batteries through various forms. We will encourage the pilot areas to cooperate with the surrounding areas to carry out centralized recovery and standardized comprehensive utilization of used power batteries, so as to improve the recycling efficiency. We will adhere to the concept of the whole life cycle of products, establish a traceability mechanism for power battery products that can be traced, traced, and controlled by nodes, implement information management throughout the entire process of power battery management, and ensure that power batteries are safely and properly recovered, stored, transferred, and disposed of.

In terms of policy incentives, the "plan" also revealed new trends, namely, studying policy measures to support the recycling and utilization of new-energy automotive power batteries, exploring relevant policy incentive mechanisms to promote the recycling and utilization of power batteries, and fully mobilizing the enthusiasm of all parties. Promote the recycling of power batteries. This means that there will still be further incentives for specific power battery recycling in the future. The purpose is undoubtedly to attract as many local, automotive and even third-party enterprises as possible to join the green development path of recycling and reuse of new energy car batteries.

To avoid the chaos of the new energy car market

Although the development of the new energy car market in China started late, but by the policy market and the rapid development of market cultivation, the new energy car market in China has come to an important node that must start the relevant post-market construction. After all, Battery recycling is one of the key factors for the future expansion and sustainable long-term development of the new energy vehicle market.

Although currently affected by the short development time of the new energy vehicle market, there has not been a chaotic image of battery recycling in the market, but compared with traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, it is enough to ring a warning bell for the current rapid development of new energy vehicles. In traditional automobile market, our country already had the title of "the world's biggest producer and seller" in 2009, till today, the traditional automobile market development still maintains the high growth rate. However, a problem that can not be avoided is that the problems that have arisen around automobile parts and components are precisely due to the lack of relevant policies and systems, allowing the market to develop freely, resulting in the underground dismantling of motor vehicles and the resale of used parts and components. The resulting improper profits and the non-standard refurbishment parts return to the market have brought about a greater potential for safety production.

In this regard, the relevant departments have also repeatedly carried out rectification and standardization of the order of recycling and dismantling of end-of-life vehicles, in order to effectively strengthen the management of end-of-life vehicles, and severely crack down on illegal recycling and dismantling, and reselling of scrapped vehicles and assembled vehicles. At the policy level, in May 2010, the National Development and Reform Commission and 11 other ministries and commissions jointly issued the "Opinions on Promoting the Development of the Remanufacturing Industry," and identified automotive parts and components, engineering machinery and machine tools as key areas for the development of the remanufacturing industry. In July 2013, the National Development and Reform Commission and other five ministries and commissions issued the "Remanufacturing Industry for the Old" Pilot Implementation Plan, which required the use of remanufacturing products such as automobile engines and gearboxes as pilots in 2013, and gradually expanded the scope of the trial depending on the implementation.

It should be said that in the traditional automobile market, the relevant policies of our country are lagging behind the phenomenon of a large number of disorderly dismantling and profit making, which is obviously not conducive to the orderly development of the automotive rear market and even the automotive industry itself. On the other hand, it is clear that the decision makers have made early arrangements for the recycling and reuse of the core components of new energy vehicles -- power batteries -- in the light of previous experience. Anticipate and resolve. In fact, as early as September 2015, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with relevant departments, organized and formulated the "Technology Policy for the Recycling and Utilization of Electric Vehicle Power Batteries(2015 Edition)", which was publicly solicited, showing that the decision-making level has already targeted the new energy automotive industry. The long-term development plan has already been completed.

Jiaxinguang, standing director of the China auto circulation Association, pointed out earlier in an interview with reporters that the existence of the traditional car parts manufacturing chaos is driven by interests, and the national level standardized the traditional car remanufacturing obviously helps to control chaos. Unlike traditional cars, the core component of new energy vehicles is a power battery, which can easily cause damage to the ecological environment. Therefore, the sooner the potential problems are clearly solved, the more conducive to the sustainable development of the industry. For the new-energy automotive industry, which has become the established direction of development, we should, as far as possible, focus on the problems that may hinder industrial progress in new-energy automobiles, that is, we should speed up the formation of industrial closed-loop through policy implementation as soon as possible. Follow the benign track of production, sale, use and reuse to seek normative and orderly development.
