Key highlights
- Inner Mongolia Qingyi New Materials Technology has received official project filing approval for a 100,000 t/y high-performance lithium battery anode material project in Baotou, Inner Mongolia.
- Total investment of CNY 3 billion (~$435M); construction planned April 2026 – December 2029.
- The project will occupy approximately 720 mu (~48 hectares), with 223,000 m² of total building area.
- The filing was approved by Baotou Qingshan District authorities.
The Baotou Qingshan District government has formally issued a project filing approval notice for Inner Mongolia Qingyi New Materials Technology’s 100,000 t/y high-performance lithium battery anode material project, confirming the project meets industrial policy and market access standards.
The project, assigned code 2601-150204-04-01-899280, will be located in the Baotou Equipment Manufacturing Industrial Park in Qingshan District, on a site bounded by Shiji Road (east), Qingda Line (south), Chuangzhi Road (west), and Dianzhuang Avenue (north). Construction is planned from April 2026 to December 2029.
The project covers approximately 720 mu (~48 hectares) and will include 210,000 m² of new factory and warehouse space, along with 13,000 m² of R&D centres, testing centres, and worker amenities. Supporting infrastructure includes power supply, ventilation and dust extraction, and tail gas treatment systems.
At full capacity, the project will produce 100,000 tonnes per year of high-performance anode materials for downstream applications in EV batteries and energy storage systems.
This is a greenfield project from a company – Qingyi New Materials – that does not yet have a well-known profile in the domestic anode market. The CNY 3 billion investment and 100,000 t/y scale are substantial, particularly for a build in Inner Mongolia, which has attracted anode capacity due to low electricity costs and proximity to graphite resources. The four-year construction timeline (through December 2029) suggests a phased approach rather than a single large-scale ramp.
