How miraculous is it for technology to lead the green future of biomanufacturing?

Nov 12,2021

In the rapidly developing wave of technology, a new force is quietly changing our world - biomanufacturing! This manufacturing technology, which uses biomass as raw material and microbial cells or enzyme proteins as catalysts, is leading the new direction of future industrial development with its clean, efficient, and recyclable characteristics.

Have you ever imagined that industrial exhaust gases that were once considered low value can now be transformed into clean fuels? In Tangshan, Hebei Province, Chinese engineers are using a microorganism called Ethanol Clostridium to convert exhaust gases from steel production into bioethanol (alcohol). This technology not only solves the problem of CO2 emissions during exhaust combustion, but also provides us with a renewable new energy source. These ethanol products, as fuel ethanol, greatly reduce dependence on petroleum resources and contribute to environmental protection.

Not only that, biomanufacturing has also demonstrated its magical power in the food industry. Commonly used yeast, under the skillful hands of scientists, is "brewing" new proteins. Researchers in Yichang, Hubei have successfully cultivated yeast strains with a protein content of over 80% through screening and optimization. This yeast protein not only has high production efficiency, but also significantly reduces the consumption of resources such as land and fresh water, making it one of the most ideal new alternative proteins available today. It is expected to alleviate the dependence on traditional protein sources and provide humans with richer and healthier food choices.

In the field of materials science, biomanufacturing has shone brightly. A bio manufacturing company in Shanghai has produced bio based raw materials through synthetic biotechnology and successfully synthesized bio based nylon, which has changed the traditional route of preparing nylon using petrochemical methods and is an important breakthrough. This new material not only has high strength, corrosion resistance and other characteristics, but also has a low-carbon and environmentally friendly production process, which is of great significance for sustainable development of the environment. In the future, bio based nylon will be widely used in various fields such as textiles, industrial silk, automobiles, new energy, transportation and logistics, and construction, bringing more green and low-carbon material routes to our lives.

The successful cases of biomanufacturing go far beyond this. From industrial exhaust to clean fuels, from ancient yeast to new proteins, from microorganisms to high-strength nylon, biomanufacturing is creating miracles in various fields. It has become one of the new quality productive forces and strategic emerging industries that promote the high-quality development of China's economy with its unique advantages.

Looking ahead, biomanufacturing will permeate every aspect of our lives. It will deeply integrate with industries such as medicine, energy, environmental protection, metallurgy, etc., forming a situation of "biomanufacturing+". We can expect that in the future, biomanufacturing will bring us more green, healthy, and intelligent products and services, making our lives better!
