BYD Energy Storage and Corvus Energy sign strategic cooperation agreement for next-generation LFP battery systems for maritime applications

Type: Partnership · Technology: Storage · Country: null · Announced: 2026-05-13

BYD Energy Storage and Norway's Corvus Energy signed a strategic cooperation agreement on May 13, 2026, to co-develop next-generation lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery systems for maritime applications. This agreement formalizes a deeper phase of cooperation, building on a December 2025 MoU, and encompasses technological collaboration, resource exchange, and global market expansion. The partners will focus on high-discharge LFP marine battery systems designed for demanding operational conditions on vessels. Corvus will integrate BYD's LFP cell technology into marine energy storage systems, while BYD will contribute cell technology, battery management expertise, and large-scale manufacturing capabilities. This partnership aims to develop lower-cost, safer, and more reliable systems for the maritime sector, addressing the growing electrification trend in ferries, offshore vessels, and hybrid propulsion systems.
