Leading the Bio-based Frontier: Sugar Energy Tech's Core Management Team Takes Center Stage at 2026 Ecomobio Manufacturing Conference
Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued Document No. 303 (Gong Xin Ting Yuan Han [Year: 2026]), announcing the shortlisted candidates for the key innovative tasks in fine chemical products under the "Open Competition" initiative.SugarTechRely on5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF)The only bio-based product selected across all categories, it has been designated as the national key project lead for the HMF initiative.
At the same time, Phase I of Tangneng Technology's 50,000-ton HMF production base in Daishan is scheduled to commence operations in Q3 2026, significantly enhancing domestic self-sufficiency for HMF.
As the bottlenecks of traditional petrochemical materials become increasingly apparent,Post-petroleum EraThe tide of industrial transformation has already arrived.BiomanufacturingAs a core track of the green low-carbon industry, it is accelerating from laboratory innovation to the new stage of multi-thousand-ton-scale commercialization.
2026 (2nd) Yimao Bio-Manufacturing Industry Conference & Exhibition (Summer) will be held in Shanghai from 8 to 28., the conference is organized byYimao MedicalHostShanghai Future Industry Biomanufacturing Special CommitteeTo support the organization, on-site invitations will be extended to2000+Attendee,100+Speaker,20+Premium exhibitors, featuring "Conference - Exhibition - Meeting - EventFour core modules focused on "fundamental research breakthroughs + cross-domain industrial implementation," providing comprehensive coverage.Medicine & Aesthetics, Bio-based Materials & Green Chemicals, Food & Agriculture, AI-Enabled SolutionsCore Focus: Deeply connecting top-tier research experts, industry leaders, innovative SMEs, investment firms, and upstream/downstream supply chains to create a benchmark event for the entire bio-manufacturing value chain.
At this critical turning point for the industry, all senior leaders at Tangneng Technology are fully engaged.Mr. Jin Haitao, General Manager; Dr. Zhang Wei, Deputy General ManagerParticipated in the conference in two roles: as an interview guest and a report speaker.
In the transition of the bio-based industry from "small-scale R&D" to "industrial mass production," difficulties in commercialization, scaling up production lines, and maturing business models remain core bottlenecks constraining industry growth.
This conference,Mr. Jin Haitai, General Manager of Tangneng TechnologyYou are invited to participate in an interview on the topic "From Lab Strains to Ton-Scale Production Lines: A Comprehensive Pathway for Industrializing Bio-Based Monomers." Share your hands-on industry experience and insights into cutting-edge industrial trends, offering fresh perspectives to help the industry overcome implementation challenges.

Mr. Jinhai Tao, General Manager at Dalian Jiaotong University, majoring in Applied Chemistry. Previously served as General Manager of Beijing Zhujiang Real Estate Co., Ltd. and Sanya Meihailong Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.; Vice President of the Haitang District Federation of Industry and Commerce in Sanya; Member of the Fifth CPPCC Sanya Committee; and Deputy Chair of the China Democratic League Sanya Municipal Committee. With nearly 20 years of experience in management operations and sales, he has extensive expertise in market applications, business model innovation, brand management, industry chain collaboration, and product sales. Currently, he is dedicated to the bio-based economy, leading his core team into the "post-petroleum era" with the philosophy: "Wisdom to perceive trends, strength to master them."
Bio-based furan new materialsIt is a key direction for replacing traditional petrochemical materials. Meanwhile, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is hailed as the "core chip" of the bio-based new materials sector; its technological breakthroughs and mass production efforts directly determine the industry's growth ceiling.Dr. Zhang Wei, Deputy General Manager of Tangneng TechnologyDeliver an exclusive, high-impact thematic report titled "The 'Chip' of Bio-based Furan New Materials: Industrial Breakthroughs and Blue Ocean Applications of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural." Unlock the technical secrets and market potential of core bio-based materials, showcasing cutting-edge research and actionable industrialization strategies for the industry.

Deputy General Manager Zhang Wei holds a Ph.D. in Catalysis from the Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and completed postdoctoral research at Tsinghua University's Department of Chemistry. He has been recognized as a leading talent by the Beijing and Tianjin municipal governments and as a Yongjiang Talent in Ningbo. Dr. Zhang has led over 20 research projects funded by national ministries, provincial key R&D initiatives, and major special programs, including Ministry of Science and Technology support plans for the 12th, 13th, and 14th Five-Year Plans. He received the Second Prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award (ranked 5) and the Production Promotion Second Prize. With numerous completed technology assessments, he has directed more than 20 enterprise-led independent projects and secured 24 authorized invention patents. He serves as an expert reviewer for the National Standards Commission, a committee member of the Forestry Energy Standards Committee, an academic committee member of the Bio-based Materials Innovation Alliance, and an external mentor at China Agricultural University and Southeast University.
One is a cross-industry strategist with nearly 20 years of market and management experience; the other is a technical expert with deep research foundations. With both leaders from Tangneng Technology attending the Bio-manufacturing Conference, this marks not only a showcase of the company's capabilities to the industry but also sends a clear message: the industrialization of bio-based monomers requires the combined vision of strategists and the dedicated expertise of technologists.
From lab strains to ton-scale production lines, the path is accelerating.
