On October 22, at the South Korean special event of "Shandong and the Fortune Global 500", SDWH New Area Management Committee, SDNH New Energy Materials Technology Group, South Korea PPOSCO CHEMTECH signed a cooperation agreement, and the three parties established a joint venture in SD New Area The company jointly produces anode materials for lithium batteries.
POSCO CHEMTECH is affiliated to the world's top 500 South Korea's POSCO Group and is a leader in the field of chemistry and new energy materials. It mainly produces refractory products, lithium battery positive and negative materials, and needle coke.
SDNH is located in the Graphene Industrial Park in the new district. It plans to build 10 core projects. The first phase has started construction of an ultra-high purity graphite project with an annual output of 20,000 tons, a new fuel cell bipolar plate project with an annual output of 3 million square meters and an annual output. High-purity graphene project producing 1,000 tons.
According to Xu Yingxu, executive officer of POSCO CHEMTECH in South Korea, POSCO CHEMTECH mainly uses natural raw materials in South Korea and has not yet set foot in the field of man-made materials. However, China is a world leader in the research and development of man-made emergency materials. In recent years, they have been trying to find China. Partner. SDNH has advanced technology for the production of negative electrode materials for lithium batteries with artificial graphite, and SDNH is in urgent need of high-quality needle coke raw materials during the production process. Through various consultations, it has been learned that the needle coke products of POSCO CHEMTECH in South Korea best meet the needs.
Taking into account the good industrial complementarity between the two parties, the SDWH South Korea Office and the WH New District Investment Promotion Department matched them. "After many contacts, we have inspected SDNH's equipment, technology and materials on the spot, and found that they have mastered the current internationally leading graphite chemistry technology, which is the core technology necessary for man-made energy supply materials and meets our needs. It just matches. So we also plan to invest in Weihai and cooperate together." Xu Yingxu said. The joint venture established by the three parties has a total investment of 170 million U.S. dollars. SDNH has innovated production technology and has strong competitiveness in terms of output, production efficiency, and product performance. POSCO CHEMTECH`s mature technical experience and marketing capabilities will provide products for production and sales. Support, the new district will provide preferential policy support for the construction and operation of the project.
