- 2026 Two Sessions: Solid-State Batteries“Five-Pronged Effort” to Break Through the “Last Mile” of Industrialisation
Solid-state batteries were a hot topic at the 2026 Two Sessions, where delegates noted that the industry is at a critical inflection point, moving from “samples” to “products.”
Mar 17, 2026 14:10 - Large-Scale Deployment of Hydrogen Energy Engineering Equipment at the Jinshan Mine Supports the Green and Low-Carbon Transformation of Daye Mines
Recently, two hydrogen-powered excavators, two hydrogen-powered loaders, and four hydrogen-powered wide-body mining trucks were officially put into operation in the Jinshan mining area, marking the implementation of the integrated “production, storage, refueling, transportation, and use” layout of Daye’s hydrogen energy industry in the application segment. This achieved the large-scale use of hydrogen-powered heavy engineering equipment in mining areas across China and injected new momentum into the green, low-carbon transformation of mines. As core equipment developed by Taiyuan Heavy Machinery, the TZ350EH hydrogen-powered excavator and TZ958EH hydrogen-powered loader worked in coordination with hydrogen-powered wide-body mining trucks, covering the entire process of mining, loading, and transportation. The equipment emitted only pure water, thoroughly improving the operating environment of traditional mining areas. This batch of hydrogen-powered equipment was deeply optimized for the complex working conditions of mines, with prominent core advantages: the hydrogen-powered excavator featured zero emissions and low noise, and could operate at full load after just five minutes of hydrogen refueling; the hydrogen-powered loader integrated hydrogen power with heavy-load performance and, equipped with proprietary technology, reduced consumption and improved efficiency; the hydrogen-powered wide-body mining truck offered fast energy replenishment, a high energy recovery rate, and excellent low-temperature starting performance, laying a solid foundation for green transportation. This large-scale deployment enabled hydrogen-powered equipment to undergo practical verification in real mining scenarios. It not only opened up a new path for the clean replacement of mining equipment, but also stabilized market demand for upstream hydrogen production, storage, and transportation, promoted coordinated development across the upstream and downstream segments of the hydrogen energy industry chain, and provided a replicable and scalable practical model for transforming traditional mining areas into green and intelligent mines.
Mar 18, 2026 13:51 - Silver Prices Fluctuated Downward, and Premiums Continued to Trend Lower as Downstream Demand Softened and Market Participants Remained Cautious and on the Sidelines [SMM Daily Review]
Silver prices remained in the doldrums today. After the spot-futures price spread narrowed, premiums in the spot market continued to decline. In the Shanghai market, mainstream quotations from suppliers of standard silver ingots in the morning session were adjusted down to a premium of 200 yuan/kg against TD, but downstream consumption remained sluggish. As rigid demand for raw materials decreased, some suppliers lowered premiums to sell off cargoes and close deals. Although some smelters were reluctant to sell, quoting silver ingots at a premium of 150 yuan/kg against the 2606 contract or a premium of 200 yuan/kg against TD, actual transactions were scarce. In the Shenzhen market, non-standard registered brand silver ingots were sold off at parity or slight discounts against TD. Downstream buyers made substantial counteroffers and remained cautious on the sidelines. Spot cargoes circulating in the market were ample, and overall market transactions turned weaker.

[Magnesium Ingot Transactions Increased Significantly, Rigid Demand Support Became More Evident, and a One-Way Market Was Unlikely in the Short Term] Today, quotations in the main production areas for 99.90% magnesium ingot were 16,600-16,700 yuan / mt, and low-priced supply in the market increased.
Mar 17, 2026 18:00 - Academician Ouyang Minggao’s Latest Views as a Solid-State Battery Expert Scale-Up in 2030, Consumers “Need Not Wait”
Ouyang Minggao pointed out that large-scale mass production of all-solid-state batteries will still require 3–5 years, with test vehicles expected to appear by the end of 2026. Sulphide electrolyte has fallen from 20 million/mt to the million-level range. However, he stressed that the technical difficulty is extremely high and advised consumers that they “need not wait,” as LFP batteries remain the “ballast stone” at present.
Mar 16, 2026 14:49 - Geopolitical Tensions Combined With Delayed Expectations for Interest Rate Cuts, SHFE Aluminum Fluctuates at Highs Under Short-Term Pressure [SMM Aluminum Morning Meeting Summary]
[Geopolitical Tensions Combined With Deferred Interest Rate Cut Expectations Leave SHFE Aluminum Under Short-Term Pressure but Fluctuating at Highs] Against the backdrop of continued tightening LME liquidity, LME aluminum still has upward momentum, with strong support from prices outside China, and is expected to maintain a backwardation structure in the short term. China remains in a phase of high inventory coupled with weak fundamentals, and its upward momentum is significantly weaker than that outside China. Amid divergent domestic and external drivers, the SHFE/LME price ratio is expected to continue weakening, and aluminum prices are still expected to fluctuate at highs in the short term.
