On September 7, the "CIES 12th China International Energy Storage Conference", sponsored by the China Chemical and Physical Energy Industry Association and organized by the Energy Storage Application Branch of the China Chemical and Physical Power Industry Association and the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was grandly held in Hangzhou Intercontinental Hotel. The conference, with the theme of "co creating new value of energy storage and jointly building a new market pattern", focuses on the sustainable development of energy storage and actively explores the key, hot and difficult issues faced by the new energy storage industry.

At the "2022 Most Influential Series Awards Ceremony for China's Energy Storage Industry" held at the same time, Benan Energy Technology Jiangsu Co., Ltd. won the "Best New Energy Storage Technology Innovation Award for China's Energy Storage Industry of the Year". Benan Energy's intrinsic safety energy storage technology has emerged in the field of new energy storage technologies. The sodium ion battery of Ben An Energy has the characteristics of environmental protection and intrinsic safety, and has entered the stage of industrial development from commercial demonstration. It is currently one of the high safety and long-term energy storage technologies that is highly concerned in the international market. The company has participated in multiple major national science and technology projects, and has applied for and obtained multiple patents. The award is highly recognized by the organizing committee experts and the energy storage industry for Ben An's tireless efforts in the research and manufacturing of water-based batteries and sodium ion batteries over the years.

On the morning of September 8th, Dr. Hou Xiaorui, the R&D Director of Benan Energy, delivered a keynote speech on "Green and Safe Water based Metal Ion Battery Energy Storage Technology" on behalf of the company at a special session on new energy storage battery technology and applications. Starting from the booming demand in the existing energy storage market, he introduced Benan's unique high safety sodium ion battery energy storage technology. Hou Xiaorui stated that the company's new inorganic (water-based) system technology route is an inherently safe new energy storage technology with great market value, and has now achieved mass production and commercial application. The speech received a warm response, and Ben An's unique battery technology broke through the bottleneck of energy storage safety, igniting enthusiasm from all walks of life.
