"This is the first workshop of the anode material project which has just been put into production by Hoopry New Energy Materials Co Ltd (HNEMCL),” said a staff member of HNEMCL from the Jinshan new energy car park in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia autonomous region.
The staff member gave an introduced about the project to journalists. “During the anode material production process, lithium iron phosphate powder enters a funnel-shaped stock bin,” he said. “After the chemical reaction, the powder will be transmitted to a reaction still. The whole process is carried out in a totally enclosed state, preventing powder and noise pollution to the utmost extent.”
The HNEMCL project is the first new energy material process to be put into production in the Jinshan new energy car park. After completion, 40,000 tons of lithium iron phosphate powder will be produced every year, with total production value of 3.8 billion yuan ($571 million).
The park, covering 173.7 hectares in the Jinshan High and New Tech Development Zone, has attracted investment of 20 billion yuan. The first batch of projects that have already entered the park are mainly related to the production of lithium batteries, membranes, electrolytes and charging piles.
In recent years, Hohhot has regarded the development of new energy cars as one of the means to promote green industry development.
The Jinshan new energy car industry park was jointly built by the Soil Left Banner government and the Shenzhen-based OptimumNano energy company. The park’s annual output value is expected to reach 50 billion yuan and about 30,000 jobs will be created.
The Hohhot government earlier had launched a series of measures to promote the development of the new energy car industry to nurture the new growth engine.
The measures included a plan to encourage the use of new energy vehicles, a regulation on the use of new energy car special funds, and a method for infrastructure construction related to electric automobiles.
In the future, Hohhot will have many more new energy vehicles of high quality once these plans have been implemented.
