Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd., a global chemical manufacturer, will build a new plant in Fukuoka Prefecture to produce electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries—a core component of electric vehicles. The project aligns with the prefecture’s “Green Growth Project,” which promotes decarbonization across the automotive, semiconductor, and hydrogen sectors. As the automotive industry undergoes a once-in-a-century transformation driven by CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, Electric) technologies, Fukuoka aims to become a global hub for the development and production of next-generation vehicles.
