On September 24, the Chongqing Institute of New Energy Storage Materials and 
Equipment held a conference to launch the global talent recruitment campaign 
and introduce demonstration projects in Liangjiang New Area, a high-tech area 
in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality.

Established in May this year, the institute is a high-end R&D institution in 
the field of energy storage jointly established by Chongqing University and 
Chongqing Liangjiang New Area.

The Institute will recruit talents at four levels ranging from young pioneers 
to experienced experts, as well as various outstanding professionals in energy 
storage, such as young teachers, professors and associate professors, with an 
annual salary of up to 1.8 million yuan (about 252,500 U.S. dollars), according 
to the Publicity Department of Chongqing Liangjiang New Area.

The demonstration projects include solid hydrogen refueling station, solid 
hydrogen storage and transport truck, integrated storage and purification of 
industrial by-production hydrogen, distributed energy storage, Chongqing 
Guangyang Island magnesium-based energy storage, and magnesium battery in 
"magnesium energy town" of Anhui Province's Qingyang County.

New energy storage is an important technology and basic equipment for building 
a new power system, and it is an important support for achieving the goal of 
carbon peaking and carbon neutralization and ensuring national energy security.

Chongqing Liangjiang New Area, as the core platform for the development of 
energy storage industry in Chongqing, has broad market prospects and huge 
development potential.

In recent years, Liangjiang New Area has issued the action plan for 
accelerating the high-quality development of new energy storage industry that 
seeks to build a national-level key laboratory, quicken the establishment of 
the Chongqing Institute of New Energy Storage Material and Equipment and 
develop a new energy storage innovation platform.

At the same time, centering on forward-looking energy storage technologies such 
as new-generation ion batteries and solid hydrogen storage, Liangjiang New Area 
has sped up the introduction of energy storage related projects such as Ganfeng 
Lithium to form a multi-industry ecological base.

Building on the region's industrial base, innovative resources, application 
scenarios and open policies, Liangjiang New Area will take this conference as 
an opportunity to promote the high-quality development of new energy storage 
industry in a bid to building a highland for the development of new energy 
storage industry with national influence, according to a local official.

Looking forward, Chongqing Liangjiang New Area will adhere to technological 
innovation as the endogenous driving force, absorb global outstanding talents 
of energy storage industry, accelerate the promotion of key core technologies, 
and add new impetus to the development of energy storage industry in Chongqing. 
Meanwhile, more efforts will be made to facilitate the development of Chongqing 
as a new energy storage industry cluster, innovation leading area and 
application demonstration hub.
