聚焦芦竹生物质资源开发赋能绿色新材料产业发展——我校承办第三十六期天开创新沙龙Focusing on the Development of Luzhu Biomass Resources to Empower the Growth of the Green New Materials Industry — Our School Hosts the 36th Tiankai Innovation Salon

On September 30, the 36th Tian Kai Innovation Salon (6th issue of 2026) and the Seminar on Innovative Applications of Reed Bamboo Biomass and Fiber Valorization were held at the Home of Tianjin Science and Technology Workers, co-organized by Tianjin University of Science and Technology and others.

This session of the salon was jointly hosted by the Tianjin Association for Science and Technology, the Tianjin Science and Technology Bureau, and the Tianjin Education Commission, and co-organized by the National Key Laboratory of Bio-Based Fiber Materials, Tianjin University of Science and Technology, among others. It is one of the key series of activities for the 2026 Tianjin Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation and Academic Exchange Month, bringing together multiple forces from industry, academia, and research, and providing a high-level platform for academic exchange.

The salon specially invited environmental engineering expert, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Professor Hou Lian, and materials expert, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Professor Cheng Bowen, to provide top-level thinking and professional guidance on the ecological management of reed bamboo, breakthroughs in bio-based fiber technology, and the construction of industry chain systems.

Academician Cheng Bowen from Tianjin University of Science and Technology, representing the National Key Laboratory of Bio-based Fiber Materials, deeply explained the significant importance of developing non-grain biomass resources such as reed bamboo for ensuring resource security and promoting green and low-carbon development. He systematically introduced the laboratory's mission and positioning in building an independent and controllable raw material system for bio-based fibers in China.

In the frontier sharing session, Lu Fuping, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Tianjin University of Science and Technology, presented a systematic display titled 'Green Processing and High-value Utilization of Plant-based Biomass,' showcasing the complete innovation chain from the separation of biomass's three components to the preparation of high-value materials such as Lyocell fibers. He focused on the breakthrough progress in enzymatic three-component separation and biotechnology-enabled biomass refining.

Chen Guanyi, President of Tianjin University of Commerce, and Professor Zhang Zongwei from Civil Aviation University of China shared cutting-edge research results on reed bamboo biomass co-production technology and sustainable aviation fuel development paths for domestic energy plants, respectively. They expanded the high-value application directions of non-grain biomass and provided theoretical support for industrial transformation.

In the industrial practice session, representatives from Ruihengmao Group, China Textile Academy (Tianjin) Technology Development Co., Ltd., and China Resources Recycling Group shared cases from the perspectives of developing unused land for the reed bamboo industry, empowering pilot platforms for new fiber materials, and layout of the green fiber industry, promoting the transformation of scientific research achievements into industrial implementation.
