[Hubei 200000 ton polycrystalline silicon project starts construction]Recently, Longchang (Hubei) Silicon Industry Co., Ltd., located in Dawu County Economic Development Zone, Xiaogan City, Hubei Province, started construction of a 200000 ton annual polycrystalline silicon project. This project aims to process and produce high-purity industrial silicon through the recycling of discarded photovoltaic power panels and the purification and regeneration of waste silicon powder after photovoltaic crystal silicon cutting. The planned investment is 500 million yuan, covering an area of 110 acres and a factory building area of 80000 square meters. After all projects are put into operation, the expected annual output value is 2 billion yuan, the annual tax revenue is 60 million yuan, and 200 job opportunities are provided. The commencement of this project will further strengthen the recycling and utilization industry chain of waste photovoltaic modules, promote the efficient utilization of renewable energy, improve the resource utilization rate of the photovoltaic industry in Dawu County, and inject new vitality into the development of Dawu's green circular economy.
