March 18, 2026 – Jushi's Zero-Carbon Smart Manufacturing Base in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, successfully ignited its annual 100,000-ton electronic glass fiber and 390 million-meter electronic fabric production line.

The Huai'an facility, a core component of the world's first zero-carbon smart manufacturing base for glass fiber, will supply high-end electronic information materials to emerging industries such as consumer electronics, 5G communications, and industrial controls, thereby strengthening the material foundation for the construction of next-generation national information infrastructure.

The supporting Phase II wind power project at the base is expected to generate approximately 1.24 billion kWh of electricity annually, offsetting about one million tons of carbon emissions and achieving 100% green power coverage for glass fiber production. This initiative not only represents concrete action in pursuit of China's “dual carbon” goals (carbon peak and carbon neutrality) but also offers a “Chinese solution” to lead the global glass fiber industry toward green and sustainable development.

The production line integrates cutting-edge technologies independently developed by Jushi, including high-performance glass formulations, ultra-large-scale tank furnaces, and intelligent manufacturing systems, all protected by 100% proprietary intellectual property. Through industrial internet, AI-driven quality inspection, and digital twin technologies, the facility has achieved full-process intelligent operations and established a “seven-dimensional” smart factory, significantly enhancing production efficiency while reducing energy consumption.

Notably, with the rapid development of emerging industries such as AI computing, 5G/6G communications, and connected intelligent vehicles, electronic substrates are evolving toward ultra-fine, ultra-thin, and high-frequency specifications. The newly commissioned project’s product portfolio already includes high-end electronic substrate varieties such as ultra-fine yarns and ultra-thin fabrics, which will effectively meet the urgent demand for high-performance PCB substrates in emerging fields including high-end servers and automotive electronics.

One of the most distinctive features of the Huai'an base is its innovative pathway to addressing carbon emissions from glass fiber production at the source: using green electricity to manufacture glass fiber, and then employing glass fiber to generate green electricity, thereby creating an industrial micro-cycle.

Across the Northern Jiangsu Plain, towering white wind turbines, each exceeding 180 meters in height, turn steadily in the breeze. The turbine blades are manufactured using Jushi's glass fiber, and the green electricity they generate is continuously transmitted to the production base. This wind power project, built in support of the base, includes a Phase I 233 MW facility already connected to the grid, with 47 turbines generating over 600 million kWh annually and reducing carbon emissions by more than 400,000 tons. Upon completion, the Phase II 500 MW project is expected to generate 1.24 billion kWh per year, reducing carbon emissions by one million tons annually—equivalent to planting approximately nine million trees. The base has thus truly realized a green cycle of “producing glass fiber, using glass fiber, and giving back green energy to glass fiber.”
