Upon full completion, it will form an annual capacity of 30GWh for solid-state batteries. Among them, the first phase covers an area of about 371 mu (approx. 24.7 hectares) and plans to build cell factory buildings, electrode production workshops, finished product production lines, as well as supporting facilities such as a research and development center and warehousing logistics.
Advanced Prismatic All-Solid-State Battery Project Lands in Suzhou
On August 13, an advanced prismatic all-solid-state battery industrialization project was signed in Wuzhong District, Suzhou, Jiangsu. The project is jointly advanced by the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOP CAS) and CAS Low Carbon City Development (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.
The first phase of the project will build a 0.2GWh cell pilot line and a 4GWh PACK production line, aiming to achieve product shipments within two years. It will primarily target application fields such as embodied AI, the low-altitude economy, and electric aviation.
2.2GWh Sodium-Ion Battery Project Expected to Enter Production in September According to news from "Zhengning Fabu," the Phase II graphene sodium-ion battery cell project of ZN Energy New Energy Technology (Gansu) Co., Ltd. has entered the critical construction stage and is expected to be completed and put into production in September this year.
It is understood that the project, with a total investment of RMB 1 billion, started construction in March 2023 and is implemented in two phases. Among them, Phase I, with an investment of RMB 180 million, has completed the construction of a 3GWh energy storage production line and a 1GWh lithium battery production line, both of which have been put into production. Phase II plans an investment of RMB 820 million to build a 2.2GWh graphene sodium-ion battery cell production line.
Angaote Electric's Solid-State Battery Project Accelerates Construction
Recently, the solid-state battery headquarters and R&D manufacturing base project of Zhejiang Angaote Electric Technology Co., Ltd. has been accelerating its construction. Phase I has completed about 70%, with the infrastructure part expected to be completed between late August and mid-September.
With a total investment of RMB 2.12 billion, the project is planned to be built in three phases, aiming to achieve an annual production capacity of 3.5GWh of solid-state batteries within five years. Phase I involves an investment of about RMB 280 million and plans to build a 0.55GWh solid-state battery production line.
Currently, the main construction of the No. 1 factory building for Phase I is advancing, the power auxiliary building is about to be capped, the main structure of the warehouse is nearing completion, and the foundation of the production workshop has been finished. Meanwhile, a dry-process laminated solid-state battery pilot line has already been put into operation in the No. 2 factory building.
1GWh All-Solid-State Battery Project to Enter Trial Production
