I. Conference Overview

When "carbon neutrality" shifts from a vision to a hard constraint, the global chemical, materials, and energy industries face the same fundamental question: the pressure to decarbonize is already here—so how do we chart a path toward sustainable development?  Renewable carbon is the unavoidable answer along this road.

Upstream, breakthroughs are emerging in agricultural and forestry residues, carbon dioxide, but synergies remain insufficient. Midstream, the commercialization pathways for green chemicals, bio-based materials, and green fuels are still unclear. Downstream, the pressures of policy compliance and market demand are arriving simultaneously. This is a moment when the entire industrial chain needs to be fully connected.

Over the past five years, DT New Materials has hosted multiple industry forums—including the Forum on High-Value Utilization of Non-Food Biomass, the Liquid Sunshine Industry Development Forum, and the Forum on High-Value Utilization of Carbon Dioxide—all essentially exploring the same question: how can a renewable carbon economy become viable? In 2026, we are merging these forums into one. From November 25–27, 2026, in  Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province , the 2026 China Sustainable Industry Annual Conference (ChinaSIC 2026) will be held for the first time, featuring 4 thematic forums, 2 special forums, and numerous concurrent activities, covering core areas such as high-value utilization of non-food biomass, green fuels (including SAF), high-value utilization of carbon dioxide, and liquid sunshine industry development. We expect over 1,000 representatives from research, industry, and capital sectors, both domestic and international, to gather in Hangzhou to jointly explore cutting-edge technologies, market demands, and commercialization pathways for the sustainable industry.

Ⅳ.Introduction to Previous Events

The launch of ChinaSIC 2026 builds upon the four thematic forum series that DT New Materials has hosted over the past five years. These five series cover the complete value chain of renewable carbon—from upstream feedstocks to midstream conversion and downstream applications—and have collectively attracted over 3,000 industry representatives, research scholars, and corporate executives. They have become one of the most influential dialogue platforms in China's sustainable chemicals, materials, and energy sectors.

 High-Value Utilization of Non-Food Biomass Forum

Organized by DT New Materials, the High-Value Utilization of Non-Food Biomass Forum has been successfully held for five consecutive editions since 2021, with a cumulative participation of over 1,500 attendees. In 2025, the forum was cohosted by DT New Materials and the National Key Laboratory of Biobased Transportation Fuel Technology, bringing together 400 participants for indepth discussions across eight thematic sessions in two major areas: non-food biomass chemicals and materials, and non-food biomass energy. Representatives from top institutions—including Academician Qilong Ren of Zhejiang University (Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering), Academician Xu Chunbao of City University of Hong Kong (Member of the Canadian Academy of Engineering), Professor Jin Zhu of the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, CAS, as well as COFCO, Sinopec Research Institute of Petroleum Processing, and Tianguan Group—shared their insights and solutions.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Industry Exchange Meeting

On November 27, 2025, the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Industry Exchange Meeting, co-hosted by the National Key Laboratory of Bio-based Transportation Fuel Technology and DT New Materials, was successfully held in Hangzhou. The meeting brought together 30 top experts and corporate representatives from institutions including Zhejiang University, Civil Aviation University of China, COMAC, CRCC Investment Group, China Power Engineering, CHN Energy, Henan Tianguan Group, and Junheng Biological. Deep exchanges and discussions focused on core issues facing the SAF industry, such as technology route selection, policy environment optimization, and certification standard harmonization. The upcoming 2nd Green Fuels and Sustainable Aviation Fuel Forum in 2026 will expand the scope of discussion from SAF to the broader green fuels sector, including green methanol.

Development of Liquid Sunshine Industry Forum

"Liquid Sunshine" ，the more precise scientific term is "liquid sunshine fuels," which broadly refers to fuels produced from water and carbon dioxide using renewable energy sources such as solar power as the primary energy input. "Liquid sunshine methanol" is merely one representative example. Organized by DT New Materials, the Development of Liquid Sunshine Industry Forum has been held for five editions since 2021, with over 1,000 cumulative participants. In 2025, it attracted more than 200 domestic and international industry representatives and scholars. Renowned experts and institutional representatives—including Academician Li Can's team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Maersk Group, Honeywell, and Geely/Yuan Cheng New Energy—shared the stage to discuss core topics such as macro‑trends in the green methanol industry, key technologies for large-scale production, biomass gasification technologies, ecosystem development, and application scenarios.

  Carbon Dioxide High‑Value Utilization Forum

Organized by DT New Materials, the Carbon Dioxide High‑Value Utilization Forum was first held in 2025 alongside the 5th Development of Liquid Sunshine Industry Forum. It focused on the latest technologies and market progress in the capture and conversion of CO₂ and other C1 gases, redefining "carbon emissions" as "carbon resources." It has become an important window for industry-academia dialogue in this field. In 2026, it will be held as an independent thematic forum during SIC China 2026.
