Recently, Jiana Energy's subsidiary Chibi Luoneng New Energy completed the filing for its sodium-ion battery biomass hard carbon anode project. With a total investment of 17 million yuan, the project will renovate 3,500 m² of factory space and is expected to produce 3,000 mt of sodium-ion battery biomass hard carbon anode annually, with construction planned to commence in May.

Previously, Jiana Energy had established a 1,200 mt purified hard carbon pilot project in Huangshi. Combined with the launch of the Chibi project, the company's hard carbon anode capacity footprint is further expanding. Leveraging its iron-based polyanion cathode plus biomass hard carbon anode technology route, Jiana Energy continues to enhance its upstream and downstream sodium-ion battery industry chain, facilitating cost reduction and accelerating the scaling and industrialisation of the sodium-ion battery industry chain.
