We had the privilege of visiting Shanshan’s new anode factory in Kunming. The visit was important so that we could see the different stages of anode manufacturing. The Kunming factory already uses e.g. closed loop cooling system, similar is planned in GigaVaasa project. Regarding Shanshan’s Finland project several work meetings were also held. Business Finland was involved in the arrangements together with Shanshan.
Shanshan has reserved 52,5 hectares plot in GigaVaasa area. Shanshan is planning to build a 100,000 ton production site which is based on artificial graphite for li-on batteries.
The target is to start phase one of the production in 2027. Working in full scale the factory would create approximately 1,000 new job opportunities.
