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.

[CATL's Wu Kai: Sodium-ion mass production this year, lithium-air next]

Wu Kai, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and chief scientist of CATL, said at the 2026 Equipment Power Forum that the company will achieve mass production of a series of sodium-ion battery products this year. Compared with lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries have abundant raw material resources and lower costs. Looking ahead, lithium-air batteries will be CATL's future direction. Wu Kai explained that lithium-air batteries use lithium as the negative electrode and oxygen from the air as the positive electrode reactant, offering ultra-high theoretical energy density and representing the next global battleground for next-generation batteries.
