Global Energy Revolution Unveiled at CIBF2025: A Vision for a Low-Carbon Future

Connecting the World, Empowering Green Energy, Driving the Future — The CIBF2025 Global New Energy Conference has grandly commenced, painting a new blueprint for a low-carbon future.

Shenzhen, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In May, the vibrant innovation pulse of Shenzhen harmonizes with the wave of green energy. On May 15, the 17th China International Battery Technology Exchange Conference/Exhibition (CIBF2025), hosted by the China Chemical and Physical Power Industry Association, officially opened at the Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center.

This global new energy event, themed “Connecting the World, Empowering Green Energy, Driving the Future”, spans an exhibition area of 300,000 square meters and has attracted over 3,200 leading new energy enterprises and 400,000 professional visitors from both domestic and international backgrounds, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the global energy revolution.

During the opening ceremony, Zheng Hongyu, Chairman of the China Chemical and Physical Power Industry Association and head of the CIBF2025 organizing committee, stated: “2025 marks a critical turning point for China’s new energy industry, shifting from ‘scale expansion’ to ‘quality enhancement.’ Amidst the uncertainties posed by rapid external environmental changes, the inherent resilience of the Chinese economy has frequently exceeded expectations.” She highlighted significant growth in the production of the “new trifecta” of new energy vehicles, lithium-ion power batteries, and solar cells, which increased by 45.4%, 39.2%, and 18.5% respectively, providing substantial support for steady growth. Furthermore, China’s economic growth rate reached 5.4% in the first quarter, leading major global economies. The new energy sector showed exceptional performance, with exports of new energy vehicles reaching 441,000 units and power battery exports hitting 37.8 GWh, marking year-on-year increases of 43.9% and 21.5%, respectively. These figures illustrate a profound shift from “Made in China” to “Created in China.”

The event officially commenced with industry leaders illuminating the ice screen, marking the start of the world’s largest and most influential new energy industry gathering. As Zheng Hongyu expressed, under the guidance of the “dual carbon” strategy, CIBF serves not only as a platform for technological launches and ecosystem aggregation but also as a barometer and accelerator for China’s energy industry, continuously fostering technological transformation and industrial upgrades.

Exhibition Highlights: Defining the Future Energy “Innovation Map”

This year’s exhibition is in full swing, covering 15 pavilions that showcase innovative achievements across the entire industry chain, from battery materials and equipment to cell manufacturing and recycling. Leading companies in the power battery sector, such as CATL, EVE Energy, Sunwoda, and Ruipu Lanjun Energy, presented products that meet the new national standards for power batteries, showcasing their latest research achievements, including high energy density batteries and fast-charging technology.

In the realm of smart equipment, Siasun Intelligent Technology tightly aligns with industry trends, demonstrating cutting-edge technologies and solutions in lithium battery intelligent manufacturing, 3C consumer electronics, smart logistics, and smart factories. Other notable participants, such as Jiatou Intelligent, Haimeixing Laser, Liyuanheng, Manstein, Shangshui Intelligent, and Nakano, unveiled their latest advancements in solid-state batteries and dry electrode manufacturing.

In terms of upstream materials, leading companies in niche sectors, including Putailai, BTR, Tianci Materials, Xinzhoubang, Haike New Energy, Huasheng Lithium Battery, Shangtai Technology, Xiangfenghua, and Tiannai Technology, showcased their innovative outcomes and solutions tailored for various application scenarios. The exhibition was filled with innovative breakthroughs featuring solid-state batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and hydrogen fuel cells, highlighting a significant “technological resonance” effect across the entire industry chain.

High-Level Dialogue: Global Thinkers Discuss the Next Phase of the Energy Revolution

On the afternoon of May 15, the exhibition hosted an “Advanced Battery Frontier Technology Seminar” themed “Green Energy Driving the Future,” bringing together global intellectuals. In her remarks, Zheng Hongyu noted that 2025 is a pivotal moment for ultra-fast charging technology, solid-state battery technology, and sodium battery technology to transition from the laboratory to production lines and from trial phases to large-scale implementation. “China has established a complete closed-loop system for the battery industry chain, accelerating the green transformation at every step from materials to recycling,” she emphasized. She called for collaboration among governments, enterprises, and academic institutions to create an innovative system that addresses challenges and empowers sustainable development.

During the seminar, experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and industry leaders delivered keynote speeches on topics such as “Advancements in Halide-Based All-Solid-State Batteries,” “Progress and Prospects of High-Energy Ultra-Charging Solid-State Battery Technology,” “Next-Generation Power: Solid-State and Hydrogen Hybrid Technologies,” and “1000Wh/L Lithium-Ion Battery Material Systems,” painting a vivid picture of the future of new energy technologies.

Additionally, high-end summits like the “Electric Aviation and Next-Generation Battery Technology Exchange” and the “CIBICS Battery Industry Cooperation Forum” were held simultaneously. Reports including the “Lithium-Ion Battery Industry Blue Book 2024,” “Low-Altitude Aircraft Battery Standardization White Paper,” and “China Lithium Iron Phosphate Development White Paper” were released, providing data support and forward-looking guidance for industry development.

Shaping a New Blueprint for a Low-Carbon Future

The three-day CIBF2025 serves not only as a stage for technology exhibition but also as a platform for the collision of ideas in the global energy revolution. From policy interpretation to technological implementation, and from industry chain collaboration to international cooperation, this conference injects powerful momentum into a green, low-carbon future with a “Connecting the World” spirit. As Zheng Hongyu stated: “At just the right moment, we use innovation as our pen to collaboratively draft a magnificent blueprint for the new energy era.”
