On the morning of February 26, the launching ceremony of major industrial projects was held in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province. During the event, the Qingtao new energy solid-state lithium battery industrialization project with a total investment of 5 billion yuan broke ground in Kunshan Development Zone, injecting strong momentum into the creation of industrial innovation clusters in the era of digital economy. The start of the solid-state lithium battery industrialization project will reach 10 billion watt-hour annual installed capacity, after reaching production is expected to increase the annual output value of 10 billion yuan.
It is understood that in November 2016, Academician Nan Zewen led his team to set up Qingtao Energy in Kunshan Development Zone, dedicated to the technological development and industrial production of all-solid-state lithium batteries and their key materials and production equipment.
In 2020, Qingtao Energy established the world's first large-scale production line of solid-state power lithium batteries, upgrading the production capacity from 0.1GWh to 1GWh. At the same time, taking a key step in technical research and production, the Nafu pure electric vehicle, a new energy vehicle equipped with Qingtao energy solid-state battery system, has been officially off the line.
Feng Yuchuan, chairman of Qingtao Energy, said in an interview with the media at the end of last year that the new production base of Qingtao Energy is gradually changing from a blueprint to a reality and is expected to increase production capacity by more than 10 billion yuan when it is put into production in 2023. In 2021, the enterprise has also carried out share restructuring, and completed the F round financing with the participation of Shanghai Science and Technology Investment, Corson Technology and other institutions, with a valuation of 10.309 billion yuan.
