The world’s largest EV battery maker says all 20 of its operating battery plants are now carbon neutral – but most of its batteries’ emissions still occur outside its factories.
CATL announced today that it has met the carbon-neutrality target it set for its core operations in 2025. All 20 plants have been ISO 14068-1 certified, and the Chinese battery giant is now turning its attention to the much harder job of decarbonizing its entire value chain by 2035.
It’s a huge commitment because CATL supplies nearly 4 in every 10 EV batteries worldwide. The company held a 39.2% share of the global EV battery market in 2025, ranking first for the ninth consecutive year, according to SNE Research data cited by CATL.
CATL says zero-carbon electricity supplied 100% of the power used by its core operations in 2025. Since 2023, its plants have consumed more than 18 billion kilowatt-hours of that electricity.
