10GWh Annual Capacity Large Cylindrical Sodium-ion Battery Project Publicized
On July 7, the environmental impact assessment acceptance publicity of the 10GWh Sodium-ion Battery Project of Fluorine Core Battery Industrial Park invested by Guangxi Ningfu New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. was released. With a total investment of 1.5 billion yuan, the project is located in Lingli Industrial Park, Qingxiu District, Nanning City.
The main construction contents include cell workshops, capacity grading workshops, batching warehouses and raw material warehouses, with one production line for 60120-25Ah cells and their modules. After completion, the project will achieve an annual output of 10GWh sodium-ion batteries, 10,000 tons of NMP solution and 2,750 tons of carbon nanotube conductive slurry. The NMP solution and carbon nanotube conductive slurry will be exclusively used for self-production of sodium-ion batteries without external sales.
The project produces 60120 large cylindrical sodium-ion batteries with a 25Ah capacity and a single-cell voltage of 3V, with an annual output of about 132.6 million batteries. The products are mainly applied in new energy vehicles, energy storage (including residential, portable, industrial and commercial energy storage), electric two-wheelers and electric tricycles.
2GWh Lithium Battery Smart Factory Project Settled
On July 8, Zaozhuang Bureau of Natural Resources and Planning released the post-approval publicity for the Phase I renovation project of the 2GWh lithium battery module smart factory.
Invested and constructed by Shandong Haidi New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., the project has a total investment of 150 million yuan, covering an area of 37 mu with a construction area of 30,000 square meters. Its main products are energy storage batteries and large-scale power batteries. The project plans to purchase a total of 110 sets of equipment including American intelligent full-speed experimental platforms, separators, detection cabinets, battery module production lines, laser welding machines, packaging production lines and battery safety performance detection cabinets.
Battery-grade Iron Phosphate Expansion Project to Be Put into Production Soon
According to Yidu Official Account, Hubei Xingyou New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. — a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hubei Xingfa Chemicals Group Co., Ltd. — has completed the installation of main equipment for its 120,000-ton/year battery-grade iron phosphate expansion project, entering the final construction stage.
Hubei Xingyou plans to conduct single-unit test run, joint test run and material feeding in mid-July this year. With a total investment of 900 million yuan, the project constructs 4 intelligent iron phosphate production lines, supporting photovoltaic power generation systems and full-factory 5G digital central control systems. The single-line capacity of the first phase is 25,000 tons per year, and the upgraded single-line capacity of the second phase can reach 30,000 to 35,000 tons per year, with the overall capacity increased by about 30%.
