On December 18, the first phase of Inner Mongolia Silicium Source New Energy Electronic Materials Technology Co., Ltd.’s plant with an annual production capacity of 20,000 tons of silicon-carbon anode materials was officially put into operation in the Dalu Industrial Park in Zhungeer Banner, Ordos City. This project was the first in the world to achieve large-scale production of CVD silicon-carbon anode materials on a tonnage basis, and it has won market recognition thanks to its reliable quality. On December 18, the first phase of the project of Inner Mongolia Silicium Source New Energy Electronic Materials Technology Co., Ltd., which has an annual production capacity of 20,000 tons of silicon-carbon anode materials, was officially put into operation in the Dalu Industrial Park in Zhungeer Banner, Ordos City. This project is the first to be implemented and put into operation by the Ordos Laboratory. Construction began in May 2024, and it took only 14 months for the first phase of the project to take shape. The project utilizes Tsinghua University’s fluidized bed coating technology to produce the third-generation of new CVD silicon-carbon anode materials, which can be regarded as a \"battery endurance accelerator\". Compared to traditional graphite anodes, these materials not only significantly increase the energy density of battery cells as well as the efficiency of the first charging cycle, but they also overcome the problem of battery swelling. As a result, the driving range of new energy vehicles increases by about 30%, while the volumetric energy density rises by up to 50% – meaning that electric vehicles can travel greater distances on a single charge, recharge more quickly, and perform better in high-latitude regions. The total investment in the project exceeds 2.2 billion yuan, with a construction period of 3 to 5 years. Once fully operational, it will be able to produce 20,000 tons of silicon-based anode materials, generating sales revenue of over 6 billion yuan. “The future for this industry lies in production volumes on the order of millions of tons; it represents an emerging sector that aims to replace existing traditional graphite anode materials. Starting in 2026, production capacity will reach half of the global total demand, with production and sales accounting for more than one-third of the global total demand. ”said Lu Pengcheng, general manager of Inner Mongolia Silicon Source New Energy Electronic Materials Technology Co., Ltd. It is reported that the project will be constructed in three phases: Phase 1 will have an annual production capacity of 2,000 tons of CVD silicon-carbon anode materials, along with various auxiliary facilities for the entire plant, with a total investment of 616 million yuan planned for its construction ； Phase 2: annual production of 8,000 tons of silicon-carbon anode materials and related raw materials ； Phase 3 will have an annual production capacity of 10,000 tons of silicon-carbon anode materials along with the corresponding raw materials. Once the project reaches full capacity, Inner Mongolia Silicium Source New Energy Electronic Materials Technology Co., Ltd. will become one of the world’s largest production bases for silicon-carbon anode materials. It is expected to generate annual sales revenues of 4 to 6 billion yuan and pay around 300 million yuan in taxes. Additionally, it will create over 500 jobs locally, with each employee generating a output value of more than 10 million yuan. This represents an important step forward for Zhungeer Banner in transforming from an \"energy export base\" into a \"technology-driven new energy industry hub,\" thereby contributing to the high-quality development of the regional economy and helping to achieve the **\"dual carbon\" goals** by providing green momentum.
