The world's first mass production project for 10,000 metric tons of silicon-carbon anode materials is set to begin operations soon in Ordos' Juungar Banner.

The project is led by Inner Mongolia Guiyuan Xinneng Electronics Materials Technology Co. Ground was broken in May 2024, marking the transition of a key scientific achievement from Tsinghua University's Ordos Laboratory into industrial production.

The project utilizes Tsinghua's advanced fluidized bed coating technology to produce third-generation CVD silicon-carbon anode materials. With industry-leading performance and technology and broad application potential, it stands at the forefront of innovation in lithium battery materials.

With a total planned investment of nearly 3 billion yuan ($417.83 million) and covering 400 mu (26.67 hectares), the project will be developed in three phases, reaching an annual output of 20,000 tons.

The first phase, now nearing completion, involves a 616 million yuan investment to build a 2,000-ton production line and supporting infrastructure. The second phase is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2026, with 8,000 tons of annual output, while the third phase, scheduled for the first quarter of 2028, will add another 10,000 tons.

Once fully operational, the project is expected to generate 4 to 6 billion yuan in annual sales and contribute around 300 million yuan in taxes. Its launch will significantly advance the development of downstream new energy material manufacturing in Juungar, injecting strong momentum into the region's economic vitalization, industrial upgrading, job creation, and coordinated industrial growth.
