The 25th National \"Safety Production Month\" in 2026: Everyone Talks About Safety, Everyone Knows How to Respond to Emergencies – Identifying and Addressing Risks and Hazards -------------------------------------------------- I. Project Overview 1. Project owner and location: Guanghao Energy (Zunyi) Co., Ltd； The project is located in Qingping Village and Le’an Village, Xiazizhen Town, Xinpu New Area, Zunyi City, within the Xinpu High-Tech Industrial Park. It is a provincial key industry project in Guizhou Province focused on clean energy and high-end new materials. 2. The total investment for the investment and land use project is approximately 4.2 billion yuan, with a total land area of about 720 mu. The project is divided into Phase I (the pretreatment project for a natural gas supply with a daily processing capacity of 3 million cubic meters) and Phase II (the main project for the production of new materials). 3. The core construction focuses on using natural gas as a raw material, employing \"atom-economical\" conversion technologies to develop a high-value-added industrial chain for natural gas: – Phase 1: A pretreatment facility capable of processing 3 million cubic meters of natural gas per day (including LNG storage tanks, filling facilities, substations, and other related equipment) ； - Phase 2: A production line with an annual output of 600 tons of carbon nanomaterials, and a production line for graphene batteries with an annual output of 3 GWh (the first fully digital pilot factory in China’s battery industry) ； Supporting facilities include production workshops, office buildings, research and development buildings, shift-work dormitories, pilot plants, and public utilities such as flood control and drainage systems. 4. The first production line in Phase 2 of the project, with an annual capacity of 300 tons of carbon nanomaterials, is scheduled to go into operation in October 2026 ； The graphene battery production line will be put into operation by the end of 2026 ； The second carbon nanotube production line will go into operation in February 2027. Once all phases of the project are fully operational, the estimated annual revenue is expected to reach 10 billion yuan, with annual tax contributions exceeding 500 million yuan. II. Bidding Information 1. Phase I (Gas Source Treatment EPC): Project name – EPC general contracting for a project in Zunyi Xinpu New Area for the comprehensive utilization of 3 million cubic meters of natural gas per day; bidding has been completed and the contract has been signed ； In 2026, a price inquiry for civil construction work in Package 2 will be conducted concurrently (civil works for the LNG tank farm, refueling shed, and substation). 2. Phase II New Materials EPC General Contracting (Largest bid section) – Tender announcement release: January 16, 2026 ； - Bid opening time: April 10, 2026 ； - Winning bidder: China State Construction Third Engineering Bureau Group Co., Ltd. consortium (Sinochem Mingda Southwest Geology, Zhejiang University of Technology Engineering Design Group) ； - The planned duration is 550 calendar days ； - Scope of the tender: survey, conceptual and construction drawing design, civil construction, equipment procurement and installation, commissioning up to completion acceptance and handover ； 3. Specialized procurement activities are being carried out sequentially, including earthwork projects, flood control and drainage projects, civil engineering subcontracting, and equipment bidding processes ； Flood control and drainage projects are tendered separately and constructed in accordance with a 100-year flood control standard. III. Construction Progress As of June 2026, the project has fully entered the civil engineering phase: 1. The flood control and drainage box culvert works, which are part of the supporting infrastructure, commenced on April 20. The 912-meter-long standardized box culverts are being constructed in segments to make use of the time available before the rainy season, with the goal of completing the work ahead of schedule to ensure the safety of the factory area ； The grading of the site’s earthwork and rockwork is essentially complete. 2. The excavation of the foundations for the production workshops in the main plant area of Phase 2 and the construction of temporary facilities are carried out simultaneously, with multiple construction machines and teams working at various locations ； Reserve intelligent pipelines and data center interfaces in accordance with the digital standards of the Lighthouse Factory. 3. The bidding process for the foundations of LNG storage tanks, the refueling area, and the civil works related to the substation in the first-phase natural gas facility has been completed; the construction contractor has arrived on site to get preparations underway ； Simultaneously advance the construction of supporting facilities for fire protection, safety, and environmental protection. 4. The construction management approach adopts unified management by the general contractor, with parallel construction by specialized subcontractors ； Strictly implement the safety control plan for hazardous chemical construction projects, and simultaneously carry out design technical briefings and reviews of specialized plans. IV. Significance of the Project This project serves as a model for the efficient and comprehensive utilization of natural gas resources, and it holds great importance for regional industry development, energy transition, and economic growth. First, it aims to transform natural gas from a traditional fuel into a raw material for high-end new materials, thereby extending the natural gas industry chain and significantly increasing the added value of natural gas resources, in line with the **\"dual carbon\" strategy** ； Second, it is to establish a new integrated industrial chain that combines natural gas, carbon nanomaterials, and energy storage batteries, in order to address the shortcomings in Guizhou’s new energy and new materials industry and create a nationally leading production base for natural gas-based energy storage materials ； Third, it uses the digital intelligent manufacturing model of the Lighthouse Factory to drive the transformation and upgrading of the regional manufacturing sector, deepen collaborative innovation among industry, academia, and research institutions, and promote the development of local industries related to new materials, equipment, and logistics ； Fourth, it creates a large number of jobs in various industries, helps to increase local fiscal revenues, supports the development of a high-tech park for clean energy in Zunyi Xinpú New Area, and contributes to the high-quality development of industrialization in Guizhou Province.
