Rongbai Technology: Environmental Impact Assessment for the 1 Million Tons/Year Lithium Iron Phosphate Project in Guizhou Announced for the First Time!

The “Environmental Impact Assessment for the High-tech Lithium Iron Phosphate Pyrometallurgical Construction Project” by Bijie Rongbai Lithium Battery Material Co., Ltd. has undergone its first public announcement.

Project Name: Bijie High-tech Lithium Iron Phosphate Pyrometallurgical Construction Project

Construction Address: Bijie High-tech Industrial Development Zone, Bijie City, Guizhou Province

Construction Unit: Bijie Rongbai Lithium Battery Material Co., Ltd.

Project Nature: New Construction

Project Overview: This project involves adaptive renovation based on the existing buildings and facilities of the former Lifan factory site, simultaneously constructing necessary public utilities and auxiliary facilities. The overall plan is to build a pyrometallurgical production line with an annual capacity of 1 million tons of lithium iron phosphate. The project will be implemented in three phases: the first phase will establish an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons, the second phase will add 400,000 tons, and the third phase will add another 300,000 tons (this assessment scope only covers the first phase). Technologically, the yellow precursor material is sintered at high temperature under nitrogen protection to produce lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), with water and carbon dioxide as by-products. The resulting lithium iron phosphate cathode material is then crushed, iron-removed, and packaged for storage. Supporting public auxiliary systems such as power supply and distribution, circulating water, nitrogen generation, and gas pressure regulation will be constructed.

Bijie Rongbai Lithium Battery Material Co., Ltd. was established in February 2026 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ningbo Rongbai New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. Rongbai Technology is the world’s largest producer of ternary cathode materials. To address the weakness of its product structure, which is primarily based on ternary materials, the company has rapidly entered the lithium iron phosphate sector through acquisitions.

Previously, Rongbai Technology disclosed its “RB One-Step Process.” The company claims this technology can compress the 15 steps traditionally required for lithium iron phosphate production down to only 6 steps. The investment cost for the production line can be reduced by approximately 40%, and energy consumption during the production process can also be decreased by about 30%.
