have made great contributions to modern civilization. However
the extensive use of fossil fuels
which have been buried for hundreds of millions of years
has led to a substantial increase in carbon imbalance. The imbalance leads to severe ecological and environmental problems. Industrial biomanufacturing
often referred to as a “sunshine economy”
represents a novel sustainable production paradigm
utilizing renewable resources in a carbon-cycling mode. This paper discusses several ways in which biomanufacturing can support China’s “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” goals from the perspectives of manufacturing feedstock
production mode and product usage. Biomanufacturing can reduce carbon emissions through feedstock substitution
technology iteration and product replacement. Utilization of straw biomass
producing non-food proteins and establishing a biobased industry landscape are important approaches for reducing carbon emissions in biomanufacturing. Efficient biomanufacturing of food and natural products can substantially improve production efficiency
conserve significant land resources
and thus provide land resources for “carbon replacement”. Optimizing agricultural products through biotechnology advancements and innovative product development is a crucial way to reduce pollution but also enhance the carbon sink capacity of the agricultural sector.
