Recently, the Development and Reform Commission of Shanxi Province issued the medium-and long-term Plan for the Development of Biological economy in Shanxi Province (2023-2035), which focuses on building bases, cultivating clusters, cultivating leaders and strong support to promote the economic and social development of biotechnology empowerment.

Shanxi Province is a major province of coal and energy in China. Under the background of carbon peak and carbon neutralization, Shanxi Province is facing the double pressure of economic development and ecological environment protection, and is in a critical period of seeking transformation and finding a way out.

The "14th five-year Plan" period is an important opportunity period for the accelerated evolution of biotechnology, the rapid growth of life and health demand, and the rapid development of biological industry in China. The development of biological economy is an opportunity for Shanxi Province to seize the opportunity of the era of biological economy. Building biological economy into a new important growth pole is of overall and strategic significance to the long-term development of Shanxi Province.

Key areas

Combined with the basis of bio-economic development and superior resources in Shanxi Province, we will focus on promoting strategic planning and forward-looking layout in the fields of biomaterials, bio-agriculture, bio-energy and bio-medicine, and explore the efficient coupling development of bio-manufacturing and traditional superior industries. We will expand and strengthen the two characteristic advantageous industries of biomaterials and bio-agriculture, focus on cultivating the two potential industries of bio-energy and bio-medicine, and strive to consolidate the two major supporting foundations of biological resources and biosafety, so as to form a new pattern of high-quality development of biological economy with Shanxi characteristics.

Enlarge biomaterials

1. Promote the large-scale development of characteristic bio-based nylon

Focus on the development of biological pentylenediamine and nylon 5X material industry chain. Improve the technological level of bio-based polymerization grade pentylenediamine, optimize the synthesis technology of nylon 5X based on pentylenediamine, promote the large-scale development of nylon 5X, and extend the development of characteristic products such as degradable film grade and spinning grade polyester amide chips. Using agricultural products and coal chemical products in the province as raw materials and biological long-chain dicarboxylic acid and biological pentylenediamine monomer synthesis as the core, the development of nylon 5X polymer materials And the industry chain of bio-based materials with rich product systems, such as superspinning cotton, bio-based textile materials, new engineering plastics and so on.

two。 Innovative Development of High performance Bio-based degradable Materials

Innovative development of dicarboxylic acid diol copolymers. Open up the industrialization process route of biological succinol and further reduce the production cost of biological succinic acid. Promote the industrialization of monomer polymerization technology and realize the collinear production of biodegradable polyesters such as polybutylene terephthalate and polybutylene succinate. To build a biodegradable plastic industry chain with full biodegradable polyester and co-esterification as the main process, such as biodegradable disposable plastic bags, catering products, environmental protection mulch film and so on.

3. Exploring characteristic high value-added biomedical materials

Develop characteristic human collagen. Focus on the development of recombinant type III humanized collagen raw materials and cosmetics and related medical devices and other product research and development. The construction of humanized collagen materials as the core, the extension of upstream human raw material production, the middle reaches of type III collagen scaffolds, gels, dressings, fibers, implants and other high-end medical terminal products, downstream tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and medical cosmetology and other new medical industry chain.

Expand biomedical polymer materials. Focus on the development of large-scale production of biodegradable medical polymer materials, new product development of absorbable medical devices and customized medical device product development of 3D printing. Key layout can organize and induce biomedical materials, tissue engineering products, a new generation of implant intervention medical devices, artificial organs and other major strategic products. Develop antibacterial materials based on hydroxyl fatty esters, natural polysaccharide-based functional accessories for body dressings, and explore the development of biodegradable medical magnesium alloys based on magnesium, zinc, calcium and other elements, organic / inorganic composite orthopedic implant materials and other products.

4. Using Biotechnology to promote Clean Utilization of Coal

Using modern biotechnology, coke oven gas, coal tar, crude benzene and other coking by-products are recovered and treated, and ethanol is produced by biological fermentation to replace the traditional grain fermentation route. extend to break through low-cost, efficient dehydration and conversion to ethylene to produce downstream synthetic materials. Innovate the industrial chain of high-value bio-based products such as protein and carbon fiber by biotransformation of coal-based flue gas microalgae. Develop fine separation of light components of coal tar and produce naphthalene series products and pharmaceutical intermediates. Encourage the intensive processing of crude benzene to produce nylon series of new materials and biodegradable materials.

The medium-and long-term Plan for the Development of Biological economy in Shanxi Province (2023-2035) puts forward the development goals: by 2025, the institutional and policy environment for the development of biological economy will continue to improve, the main body of the market will flourish, and the ability of industrial innovation will be significantly improved. great progress has been made in biotechnology, the proportion of bio-economic added value in regional GDP has been increasing, and the framework of bio-industry system has been initially formed, so as to create a national leading area of bio-economy. By 2030, the scale and technical level of bio-economic development will be greatly improved, the industrial spatial layout will be more optimized, the bio-economic system will be continuously improved, and market competitiveness will be significantly enhanced, which will become a strong driving force for promoting high-quality development. By 2035, the comprehensive strength of bio-economy will reach China's advanced level, and a strong province of bio-economy with perfect industrial chain, outstanding technological strength and industrial competitiveness will be built.
