On the morning of March 28, the groundbreaking ceremony for Guanghao Energy’s natural gas comprehensive utilization project in Zunyi Xinpu New Area was held, marking the official start of the full-scale construction of this key project, which involves an investment of 4.2 billion yuan and focuses on clean energy and high-end new materials. Guanghao Energy (Zunyi) Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the state-owned Guanghao Energy (Guizhou) Co., Ltd. Adhering to the **\"dual carbon\" strategy**, the company focuses on using its traditional business as a foundation while leveraging emerging technologies, thereby establishing a comprehensive industrial chain for the integrated utilization of natural gas and the production of high-end new materials. This project integrates numerous cutting-edge technologies. The company has established close collaborations with several universities, and through a model that combines industry, academia, research, and application, it will use natural gas as a raw material and international-leading \"atom-economical\" technologies to develop and produce high-value products such as carbon nanomaterials, graphene batteries, and nano-hydrogen. The project covers an area of approximately 720 mu, and is planned to include a production line for carbon nanomaterials with an annual output of 600 tons, which will be among the largest in the country; a graphene battery production line with an annual output of 3 GWh, built to the standards of a model factory; a pilot production facility for products utilizing carbon nanomaterials; and a pilot production facility for new materials used in high-specific-energy batteries. The first production line with an annual capacity of 300 tons of carbon nanomaterials is scheduled to go into operation in October 2026, while the second production line with the same capacity is planned to start operating in February 2027. The 3GWh graphene battery production line is set to be completed and put into use in November 2026. Once the project is fully completed and put into operation, it will create around 3,000 job opportunities, thereby helping local residents to find employment and increase their incomes, and it will also attract more high-caliber talents to stay in Zunyi and contribute to its development.
