Sunrise New Energy Advances Sodium-Ion Battery Projects with Guizhou Approvals

Recently, Sunrise New Energy (EPOW.US) announced progress in its sodium-ion battery business. In 2025, the company was approved for two major special projects by the Guizhou Provincial Department of Science and Technology, focusing on the R&D of "hard carbon anode materials for sodium-ion batteries." The project is expected to commence construction in H2 2026 and is anticipated to begin production this year, further expanding its technological layout.

It is reported that the project primarily leverages Guizhou and Qianxinan's abundant coal resources, as well as biomass resources such as moso bamboo, walnut shells, and corn stalks, to conduct research and application of high-performance hard carbon anode materials for sodium-ion batteries. The aim is to enhance the quality of hard carbon anode materials, achieve energy utilization of certain biomass scrap, and promote the enterprise's economical and green development.
