On April 29, 2026, Zhongyi Group (Jilin) New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.'s 100kt/year sodium-ion battery hard carbon anode material project completed filing in Liuhe County, Tonghua, Jilin. The project has a total investment of 1.495 billion yuan and will be constructed in two phases, with plans to commence construction in December 2026 and complete in December 2029.
The company is a Sino-foreign joint venture high-tech enterprise with existing capacity of 300,000 mt of anode materials. Leveraging green electricity production and over 100 patented technologies, it focuses on the sodium-ion battery anode material sector. North-east China, with its low-temperature adaptability and policy support, is becoming a hot topic for sodium-ion battery industry deployment. Jilin plans to achieve new-type energy storage ESS installations of no less than 3 million kW by 2030, continuously promoting sodium-ion battery R&D and extreme-cold testing base construction.
