We are the first in the world to clear technical hurdles for 1,000t industrial production of HMF from fructose. The 100t HMF production line in Taizhou has been in stable operation for a year. The 1,000t production line in Daishan County, Zhoushan City, is going into operation. While improving HMF product quality, we will increase our production capacity to more than 3,000t/year.
After the FDCA pilot test in 2021, we have enhanced our FDCA production capacity to 100t/year by upgrading technology and optimizing production equipment.
The production of PEF by FDCA polymerization is our main development direction. By working with a number of universities, scientific research institutions and leading enterprises, we will be the first in the world to exceed 100t in PEF production capacity.
We innovatively apply advanced catalytic and molecular design technologies to the development of HMF and its derivatives and end products. At present, there are already end products selling well in the market, contributing to our sales.
With a keen business acumen and foresight for sustainable development, he devotes himself to the bio-based economy and leads Sugar Energy’s core team to cater to the global demand for clean, efficient and circular energy in the “post-petroleum era” with “the wisdom to see potential and the strength to master potential”.
The HMF developed by him is one of the best alternatives to petroleum-based products. Instead of stopping at the existing core technology, he breaks through by continuous innovation from the beginning to end to complete the technological evolution and extension, cross the gap in the process of industrialization, march in the “no man’s land”, and become the “ice breaker” leading the industry.
With excellent execution skills, he has led Sugar Energy’s team to become the first in the world to clear technical hurdles for 1,000t industrial production of HMF from fructose and successfully turn original technology into products. He also has increased research and development efforts for the low-cost production of PEF polyester monomers and their entry into the market, to create a growth engine for the industry and achieve sustainable development.
Sugar is the most abundant organic compound in nature and widely exists in grains, grains, potatoes and beans. The conversion of sugar into biomass products, including bio-energy and bio-based materials, is an inevitable trend in future development and an important part of achieving carbon reduction goals and sustainable development.
Under the "two-carbon" goal, China has officially entered a stage of comprehensive green transformation. Fossil-based plastic products, as key products closely related to our daily life, are also facing the "big test" of green transformation. The replacement of bio-based plastics is currently the most important product. best solution. Tangneng Technology has made a forward-looking layout around the whole industry chain of bio-based furan polyester (PEF), and its products are superior to petroleum-based polyester-polyterephthalene in mechanical properties, high temperature resistance, carbon dioxide and oxygen barrier properties, etc. Ethylene formate (PET), and PEF can be recycled and regenerated, and has better environmental protection. It is considered by the industry as a renewable substitute for PET, and some people call it the future terminator of PET. According to life cycle assessment data for bottles made from PEF: compared to fossil-based PET bottles, the use of renewable raw materials in PEF can significantly reduce life cycle greenhouse gas emissions, with single-layer PEF bottles reducing 33%, while more Layer PEF/PET bottles can be reduced by 37%. This study clearly confirms that PEF is a plant-based, fully recyclable plastic material, which facilitates the commercialization of PEF, thereby reducing the impact of plastic on the environment.
In the future, Tangneng will always be committed to the research and development, production and innovative application of new bio-based materials, become the original leader of the whole industry chain of furan-based new bio-materials, and adhere to the development model of "one main line + diversification + whole industry chain". "One main line" refers to the development and industrial production from biomass to PEF polyester, including the core monomers HMF, FDCA, and bio-based ethylene glycol; The development of basic products, including surfactants, environmentally friendly adhesives, green additives, bio-based coatings, disinfection and preservatives, the application of products to all corners of the national economy, our daily necessities will encounter such bio-based new Material. "Whole Industry Chain" refers to uniting upstream and downstream partners to create a world-leading whole industry chain of bio-based materials from raw material cultivation, monomer transformation, product production, product processing, to market promotion and application.
