Recently, the team from Blue Ocean, a prominent U.S. integrated energy company, made a dedicated visit to BENAN ENERGY. As a key strategic partner for BENAN in North America and the Pacific region, Blue Ocean conducted a comprehensive, full-industry-chain inspection and technical exchange focused on the overseas deployment of BENAN's sodium-ion battery solutions.

01/ Targeting High-End Scenarios – Joint Expansion in North America and Pacific Markets

Headquartered in Guam, Blue Ocean operates extensively across the U.S. mainland and Pacific islands, specializing in high-reliability energy storage for critical infrastructure, island microgrids, and grid ancillary services—applications that demand exceptional safety, wide-temperature operation, and low lifecycle maintenance.

During the visit, the delegation toured BENAN's R&D center, cell manufacturing base, and system integration plant.

- Lean Manufacturing & Rigorous QC: At the cell production line, the team observed the full manufacturing process of polyanionic sodium-ion cells and highly commended BENAN's strict quality control—from incoming material inspection and in-process monitoring to full-capacity sorting and safety testing, ensuring safety and consistency.

- Proven Product Strength & Full-Stack Customization: At the integration plant, both sides focused on the upcoming RockNa series commercial & industrial storage cabinets. These products perfectly address customer pain points. Additionally, BENAN offers full-stack customization—from cells, BMS to pack structure—providing deep-tailored IP ratings and load interfaces for harsh North American and island environments.

In subsequent headquarters meetings, both technical and business teams aligned on delivery details and future cooperation plans, reaching a strong consensus.

02/ From “Single-Point Export” to “Chain-Leader Breakthrough” – A New Benchmark for China’s Sodium-Ion Industry Going Global

This partnership marks a major milestone for BENAN in penetrating the high-end North American and overseas markets, and sets a pioneering example for China’s entire sodium battery sector.

- Breaking High Entry Barriers: The rigorous certification and safety standards for critical infrastructure and grid storage in North America are formidable. BENAN’s polyanionic sodium technology, with its superior safety and environmental adaptability, has successfully opened the door to these demanding markets, validating the unique competitive edge of Chinese sodium-ion routes in premium global applications.

- Upgrading from Product Export to Full-Chain Synergy: Amid global energy transition and supply chain restructuring, Chinese energy storage firms are evolving from mere hardware sales to integrated “technology + manufacturing + service” exports. As an industry chain leader, BENAN drives this transition by upholding unified high standards across R&D, cell production, system integration, and global delivery.

This collaboration not only unlocks vast overseas growth opportunities for BENAN but also paves a replicable, high-quality internationalization pathway for China’s new energy storage industry, establishing a solid foundation and precedent for the entire domestic sodium-ion chain to go global.
