Synthetic biological new materials 100 billion industrial new city to promote high-quality development in Shanxi

"Use corn, sorghum, straw and other biomass waste to make clothes
.

" Hearing this answer, you might think it's just a joke

What kind of technology "synthetic biology" is, you can find the answer in the "Six New" exhibition hall of Shanxi Comprehensive Reform Demonstration Zone
.

The exhibition hall displays soft and colorful clothing fabrics, as well as shirts and training clothes made of these fabrics, all of which are from Shanghai Kaisai Biotechnology Co.
, Ltd.
(hereinafter referred to as "Kasai Bio")
.

These clothes seem ordinary, but they are full of science and technology.

Making clothing is only one aspect of the application of "synthetic biology"
.

The raw materials produced by "synthetic biology" technology can also be used to make carpets, curtains, and tires.

In traditional technology, polyamide can only be synthesized from petrochemical raw materials, but Cathay Bio has a "trick" to subvert the traditional: "transform" the rich sugars in corn and other organisms into bio-based polyamides, which is what people call " Green nylon"
.

Not only that, compared with nylon produced by chemical processes, carbon emissions can be reduced by more than half

Under the background that the country proposes carbon peak and carbon neutrality, the synthetic biological industry characterized by "low-carbon ecology" has ushered in an unprecedented development space and has attracted attention from all parties
.

In terms of the industrialization of synthetic biology, China is at the forefront of the world, and Shanxi is at the forefront of the country
.

As a landmark project for the transformation and development of Shanxi Province, the Shanxi Synthetic Biology Industrial Ecological Park started construction in Donghuangshui Town, Yangqu County in October last year; in February this year, the Shanxi Provincial Key Laboratory of Synthetic Biology, the School of Synthetic Biology, Shanxi University and Shanxi Synthetic Biology Research Institute Co.

Transform into embryonic form and develop new roads
.

For Shanxi, which is striding forward on the road of transformation and development, the synthetic biology industry will play a vital role

The world's leading technology, the world's largest scale, a complete industrial chain, and a low-carbon ecological new synthetic biomaterial 100 billion industrial city is emerging in the land of Sanjin, adding a strong impetus to Shanxi's all-round high-quality development!
