On July 15, 2025, CATL signed a memorandum of cooperation with BHP, a leading global integrated resources company. Both parties will fully leverage their respective advantages and cooperate in the fields of mining equipment electrification, fast charging infrastructure construction, energy storage and battery recycling, etc., to promote the electrification transformation of mining operations with integrated and panoramic solutions, and create replicable green transformation samples for the global mining industry. On site, Zhu Wei, Executive President of CATL, and Rashpal Bhatti, Procurement Officer of BHP Group, signed a memorandum of cooperation on behalf of both parties.

With the rise of renewable energy technologies, the demand for important minerals such as lithium and nickel in the market is increasing day by day, driving the accelerated expansion of the high energy consuming and high emission mining industry. As one of the world's largest mining companies, BHP Billiton is committed to leading the industry's low-carbon transformation and has set a goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions from group operations by 2050.

BHP Group's procurement officer Rashpal Bhatti said, "CATL is a world leader in advanced battery technology, energy storage solutions, and battery recycling, and is a natural partner for BHP. Working with CATL, BHP will further promote a more efficient and sustainable future for resource-based industries

Both parties will cooperate in product research and development, jointly researching and developing battery solutions suitable for heavy mining equipment and railway locomotives, and implementing corresponding fast charging infrastructure to explore the application scenarios of energy storage systems in BHP Billiton's global mines. In the future, both parties will optimize the battery recycling process, promote the development of circular economy, and establish a more sustainable mining industry value chain.

As one of the global mining leaders, BHP Billiton, like CATL, has always been committed to promoting energy transformation and achieving a net zero emissions future, "said Tan Libin, Chief Customer Officer and Co President of Market Systems at CATL." By partnering with a forward thinking resource company like BHP Billiton, we can better demonstrate how advanced battery technology can help the mining industry decarbonize in operations, logistics, and product delivery. In the future, we will continue to create long-term value through continuous technological innovation and become a positive driving force for the transformation of global resource-based industries
