Sichuan Neijiang Economic and Technological Development Zone has signed an investment cooperation agreement with Epno (Shenzhen) New Energy Technology Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Epno Group"), and the annual production of 300000 tons of silicon carbon negative electrode new material project and 30000 tons of high-purity micron silicon material project have officially settled in Neijiang Economic and Technological Development Zone.
It is understood that the annual production of 300000 tons of silicon carbon negative electrode new material project has a total investment of about 10.5 billion yuan, covering an area of 300 acres, and is constructed in two phases. The first phase of the project has an investment of about 4 billion yuan, with a land area of 150 acres, and an annual production of 120000 tons of silicon carbon negative electrode new material. It is planned to be completed and put into operation before August 2024. The project is expected to achieve an annual output value of approximately 45 billion yuan after reaching full capacity.
As an intermediate of silicon carbon negative electrode materials for lithium batteries, high-purity micron silicon produces 30000 tons of high-purity micron silicon new material annually, which can be used as a supporting material for silicon carbon negative electrode new material projects.
According to data, Epno Group was established in 2021 and is located in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. It is an enterprise mainly engaged in the production and supply of electricity and heat. The registered capital of the enterprise is 50 million yuan, and the paid in capital is 19.8 million yuan.
