JIANGXI YICHUN LITHIUM BATTERY NEW ENERGY INDUSTRY IS BOOMING

Yichun City, Jiangxi Province makes full use of its resource endowments, insists on promoting the lithium battery new energy industry as the first industry, and realizes the development of the lithium battery industry from scratch and from weak to strong. The number of lithium battery companies in the city has increased from 23 to 146 now, an increase of more than 6 times; the revenue of the whole industry has increased from less than 3 billion yuan in 2012 to 46.54 billion yuan in 2021, an increase of more than ten times, and it is expected to be in 2022. exceeded 100 billion yuan.

At a special press conference on the development of industry and informatization on the theme of "Yichun this decade" on September 6, Lu Jun, director of Yichun Lithium Battery New Energy Industry Development Center, said that in the past ten years, the lithium battery industry, as the first industry in Yichun City, has experienced After years of development, especially in the last two years, we have successfully introduced CATL (455.010, -18.91, -3.99%), Guoxuan Hi-Tech (34.400, -0.74, -2.11%), BYD (281.310, -1.39, -0.49%) Waiting for the leading enterprises, the industry has entered a stage of accelerated development, and Yichun Lithium Battery New Energy has formed an industrial cluster that has begun to take shape. Breakthroughs have been made in some key areas.

First, the production of lithium carbonate increased rapidly. Through technical research, the lepidolite resource has been successfully transformed into a high-quality resource that can compete with overseas spodumene, breaking the passive situation that my country's lithium ore resources rely heavily on imports. Last year, the output of enterprises extracting lithium carbonate from lepidolite exceeded 85,000 tons, accounting for 28% of the national total.

Second, there are many bright spots in the production of various materials. Zichen Technology occupies a leading position in the field of high-end anode materials; Tongrui lithium battery diaphragm project adopts the world's leading wet process technology, which is one of the 35 bottleneck technologies that restrict the development of China's manufacturing industry; Mingguan New Materials (65.270, 1.02, 1.59%) has more than 30 invention patents of aluminum-plastic film, breaking the monopoly of many foreign technologies, and is currently accelerating the expansion of production capacity.

The third is that the production of lithium batteries blooms more. The first phase of the Yichun Times Battery Factory project will invest 13.5 billion yuan, and the production capacity will reach more than 70GWh by the end of 2024, with an annual output value of more than 50 billion yuan; Jiangxi Guoxuan invested 11.5 billion yuan to build a 30GWh lithium battery and PACK production base project; Qingtao Energy is independent Research and develop solid-state lithium batteries, and build the world's first large-scale mass production line of solid-state power lithium batteries.

In the future, Yichun will focus on building "five bases and one center" in accordance with the idea of "high-level development, chain group distribution", namely the world's largest lithium carbonate production base, an important domestic cathode material base, the largest domestic lithium battery base, and the largest domestic lithium battery base. The company's negative electrode material base, an important domestic lithium battery application base, and a nationally well-known lithium product trading center lead the lithium battery new energy industry to high-end and global.
