BASF forms clean energy alliance with Gotion & China Gas
During the 2025 Shanghai International Carbon Neutrality Expo in Technologies, Products and Achievements (CNE), BASF entered into a four-party strategic partnership with Hefei Gotion High-Tech Power Energy Co., Ltd. (Gotion), China Gas Holdings Limited (China Gas), and BASF Shanshan Battery Materials Co., Ltd. (BASF Shanshan).
At the 2025 Shanghai Carbon Neutrality Expo, BASF, Gotion, China Gas, and BASF Shanshan formed a strategic alliance to advance energy storage systems, next-gen battery materials, and clean energy projects. The partnership aims to build a closed-loop new energy ecosystem, supporting China's dual carbon goals through innovation and collaboration.
This strategic collaboration will focus on the joint development of energy storage systems, the application of next-generation battery materials, the commercialization of energy storage projects, and green energy solutions. The four parties aim to establish a strategic alliance to build a closed-loop ecosystem for the new energy value chain. The strategic partnership also strives to further innovate in energy storage technologies and promote mass adoption of clean energy, supporting China's 'dual carbon' goals.
'We need more partners to join our efforts to achieve the 'dual carbon' goals and green transformation,' said Dr. Jeffrey Lou, President and Chairman of BASF Greater China. 'We firmly believe that through our strong alliance with Gotion, China Gas, and BASF Shanshan, we will further accelerate innovation in energy storage technologies and the wide adoption of clean energy. Together, we will create strong synergies and expedite our common goal of achieving sustainability.'
Desmond Long, CEO of BASF Shanshan, stated that BASF Shanshan has been deeply engaged in the battery materials industry for 22 years, focusing on independent research and development with strong technological innovation capabilities.
