Significant Progress in Inner Mongolia Berun Chemical Co., Ltd.

The Azul project is planned to have an annual production capacity of 7.8 million tons of soda ash and 2 million tons of sodium bicarbonate. Construction began in June 2020, with Phase I completed and put into operation in June 2023, reaching full production capacity the following year. Phase II commenced construction at the end of 2023, with the soda ash unit completed this December. The first production line successfully produced its first batch of products on December 9th, and other production lines will be put into operation successively. Upon full operation, the project will bring the annual production capacity of soda ash and sodium bicarbonate to over 10 million tons, with an estimated output value exceeding 12 billion yuan and tax contribution exceeding 2 billion yuan. This project represents the culmination of Boyuan's over 40 years of experience in natural soda ash mining and processing, achieving significant breakthroughs in technological innovation, large-scale equipment, and digitalized management. The project's full completion and operation mark Azul as the world's largest soda ash and sodium bicarbonate production base, profoundly influencing and changing the global soda ash development landscape and market structure.

 Alashan Phase II Project: Commissioning & Capacity Release (Feb 26, 2026)

The Alashan Tamusu Natural Alkali Phase II Project (2.8 million tons/year of soda ash + 400,000 tons/year of baking soda) is currently in commissioning and capacity ramp-up.

Once fully operational (together with the 1.2 million tons/year carbon-recycled baking soda project), Berun will reach:

Soda ash capacity: 9.6 million tons/year (world’s largest)

Baking soda capacity: 3.1 million tons/year.
