Zhongchu Guoneng

Established in 2018 and based in Beijing, China, Zhongchu Guoneng is a new energy provider that focuses on developing compressed air energy storage to generate power systems. The technology is from the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 2017, the company completed the R&D and design of a 100 million Watts (MW) compress air energy storage system and components. The company's chief scientific officer, Mr.

Haisheng Chen, is a researcher at the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In May 2023, it raised over CNY 1 billion led by new investor Xinda Kunpeng (Shenzhen) Equity Investment Management, with participation from other new investors CCB Investment Funds Management, Guangxi Guangtou Asset Management, Ningxia Guosheng Fund Management, Zheneng Fund, returning investors Casstar Capital, Xin Ding Capital, and other unspecified investors.   The company engages in the development of compressed air storage energy systems devices.
