[SMM New Energy] Total investment exceed 3.1B yuan, Toyota plans to build a 2GWh ESS battery manufacturing plant.

A reply from the Guangzhou Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau regarding the environmental impact report for the "Guangdong Provincial New Energy Circular Economy Zero-Carbon Smart Industrial Park Guangzhou Headquarters – Retired Power Battery and Waste Lithium Battery Comprehensive Utilization Project." The project will use 30,000 tons/year of waste lithium-ion battery packs (sets) as raw material to produce cascading utilization batteries through dismantling and assembly processes. It will also use 20,000 tons/year of waste lithium-ion battery cells (of which 900 tons come from dismantling the packs) as raw material to produce main products: ternary battery black mass and lithium iron phosphate.

On February 2, the Ecology and Environment Bureau of Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province, published a public notice regarding the拟 approval of the environmental impact assessment document for the "Waste Lithium Battery Recycling Comprehensive Utilization Project of a Company in Tengzhou." Located in the New Energy Industrial Park of the New Area, Dongshahe Street, Tengzhou City, the project has a total investment of 410 million yuan and will be constructed in two phases. The first phase has an designed annual processing capacity of 50,000 tons, establishing 7 specialized production lines.

The first public notice for the environmental impact assessment of the project (Phase I) has been released. Located in Standard Factory Buildings B3-4, International Printing and Packaging City, Guandu District, Kunming City, the project has a total investment of 157 million yuan. It adopts technologies including high-compatibility rapid non-destructive testing and sorting for retired batteries, pre-treatment technology for power lithium battery recycling, and conventional battery production lines to process waste power lithium batteries and form battery module products. The project will construct one automatic production line for 18650 cylindrical batteries, one for 32700 lithium iron phosphate batteries, one for prismatic aluminum-shell batteries, and one for pouch batteries.
