In 2014, the application of needle coke in negative materials of lithium ion battery gained new breakthrough which benefited from rapid growth of downstream lithium electricity market demand. Growth rate of negative electrode materials reached 35% and its quantity demand of needle coke reached 8000 ton in 2014. It is predicted that in 2020 annual quantity demand of needle coke in negative electrode materials will breakaway 40,000 ton.
Under the situation pf both challenges and opportunities, where will the development of needle coke and graphite electrode products go? This is a question that not a single enterprise could alone answer. Under such background, “international needle coke and graphite electrode summit forum in 2015” sponsored by Iccsino and guided by carbon industry of China was successfully held from Apr. 8th, 2015 to Apr. 9th, 2015 in the hotel named Doubletree by Hilton Qingdao in Shandong province. The conference was heatedly discussed and communicated under relative hot topics of needle coke and graphite electrode industry. Over 100 honored guests from more than 80 enterprises and institutions both in and abroad joined in it to discuss industry development plans.
Unlike “needle coke and graphite electrode summit forum” during former years, enterprises of lithium battery obviously increased this year, which closely linked with marked share rapid expansion of needle coke in negative electrode of li-ion battery. Representatives of leading enterprises in battery industry from Shenzhen Beiterui New Energy Materials co., LTD, Huzhou Chuangya Power Battery Material co., LTD, Hunan Shinzoom Graphite co., LTD as well as Ningde New Energy Technology co., LTD, etc all joined in this conference.
The conference was hosted by madam Lianping, general manager of Iccsino. Warm discussion on hot topics around scientific research, application, market, etc of carbon and needle coke products was carried out but topic about needle coke was a priority among priorities in the conference. Secretary general Qing Sun from Carbon Industry Association of China, professor Chengyang Wang from Chemical Engineering Institute of Tianjin University, general manager Yicong Huang from Shanghai Sgl East China Sea Carbon co., LTD, deputy director Bin Qu from Anshan Thermal Energy Research Institute co., LTD of Sinosteel Corporation, professor Liyi Yan from College of Material and Metallurgy of Northeastern University, vie general manager Lei Guo from Huzhou Chuangya Power Battery Material co., LTD, technical director Al Faegh from CBI Lummus Engineering Technology (Beijing) co., LTD, technical adviser Endo Shuji from Japan Carbon Materials co., LTD and chief engineer Li Peng from Anshan Kaitai Heat Energy New Materials co., LTD delivered wonderful speech one after another.
Industry chain exchange activity conducted later was even more impressive. Business representatives both in and abroad questioned speaking guests one after another. After the speech, atmosphere of the conference again met high tide. Both sides questioned each other and spread heated discussion relating relative technical problems, industry hot topics and market trend.
On a whole, successful holding of this conference has offered high qualified platform of information communication as well as social contract and cooperation for enterprises both in and abroad, which benefited representatives at the conference to understand current condition as well as future developing direction of needle coke and graphite electrode market. It was also good for each company to grasp the climate of overall industry and strengthened confidence of the industry, thus promoting further strength of needle coke and graphite electrode industry.
