The Present Situation and Development Trend of Processing and Utilization of Forestry Resources in China
Biomass resource was the fourth major energy source after coal,oil,and natural gas,which had natural of renewable characteristics.Forest chemical industry had also become one of the most important chemical sectors following coal and petrochemical industry.Based on a condensed overview of the development history of China's forest chemical industry,six directions for the development of modern forest chemical engineering were proposed:energyization,materialization,food and pharmaceuticals,feed,fertilizer,and basic materialization.The effective development of biomass gas/liquid/solid fuels in energization was one of the important ways to achieve"peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality".Traditional research areas of forest chemistry in China,such as pulping and papermaking,wood-based oils,and rosin chemistry,had found new breakthroughs and developments in materialization.Compared with the former two,there was still a great development space in food and pharmaceuticals,feed,fertilizer,and basic materialization.Forest chemical engineering had entered a new stage of improvement and development in quality and efficiency.In the future,the focus of development would be emphasized on breakthroughs in the high-value utilization of biomass resources,comprehensive utilization technology innovation,intensive processing and application,green and low-carbon integration with biotechnology,innovative application of bio-based materials and chemicals,and multidisciplinary integration,to promote industrial transformation and upgrading,and to build a new model of green and low-carbon circular development.
