CHENGDE, Hebei, China -
Chengde Huajing Activated Carbon Co., Ltd. (Huajing), a globally leading enterprise in activated carbon manufacturing and biomass resource utilization, solemnly announces that the company has been awarded the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award by the State Council of the People's Republic of China for its project titled "Key Technologies and Industrialization of Gasification of Agricultural and Forestry Biomass Wastes for Heat Supply, Electricity, Carbon, and Fertilizer Co-production". This prestigious national honor, officially conferred in June 2024, marks a milestone achievement in Huajing's development journey and fully demonstrates the company's global leadership in activated carbon technology research and development, industrial upgrading, and sustainable development.
National-level supreme honor, global industry benchmark certification
The National Science and Technology Progress Award is the highest accolade in China's scientific and technological field, directly conferred by the State Council. It aims to recognize achievements and entities that have made outstanding contributions to technological innovation, industrial progress, and sustainable development. This award is the highest recognition for Huajing's decades of deep exploration in activated carbon technology and promotion of green transformation in the industry. It also signifies that China's activated carbon technology and biomass comprehensive utilization technology have reached the international advanced level.
The award-winning project addresses the core pain points of global agricultural and forestry waste disposal: traditional biomass utilization methods generally suffer from bottlenecks such as low resource utilization, high carbon emissions, and poor economic benefits. The integrated technology developed by Huajing has completely broken this limitation, achieving full-chain circular utilization of a single biomass raw material to simultaneously produce electricity, heat, high-quality activated carbon, and bio-organic fertilizer. It has established a closed-loop green industrial model that "turns waste into treasure," providing a new, low-carbon, efficient, and sustainable solution for global activated carbon production.
Breakthrough in core technology, redefining the production standards for activated carbon
The core of this award-winning technology lies in the biomass gasification and activation process independently developed by Huajing, which revolutionizes the traditional production method of activated carbon. By precisely controlling gasification temperature, oxygen supply conditions, and activation parameters, Huajing has successfully transformed agricultural and forestry waste such as fruit shells, wood chips, and straw into high-performance high-end activated carbon, while simultaneously producing clean energy and organic fertilizer, maximizing resource utilization.
This technology brings three disruptive advantages to the global activated carbon industry:
1. Ultimate Activated Carbon Performance: The activated carbon produced through this process boasts a specific surface area of up to 1500㎡/g and a controllable pore structure, exhibiting superb adsorption capabilities for gas and liquid-phase pollutants. It can be widely applied in high-end fields such as industrial water treatment, atmospheric pollution control, food and pharmaceutical purification, and precious metal extraction, meeting the stringent demands of global customers for high-performance activated carbon.
2. Full-process low-carbon production: Different from the traditional activated carbon production model that relies on fossil fuels, Huajing Technology achieves 100% biomass energy supply, completely eliminating coal consumption. Its carbon emissions are reduced by more than 30% compared to traditional processes, perfectly aligning with the global carbon neutrality goal and setting a new benchmark for environmentally friendly activated carbon products.
3. Whole industry chain circular economy: Technology has established a complete green closed loop: agricultural and forestry waste is converted into clean energy to power activated carbon production; by-products such as biochar and organic fertilizer are fed back to agriculture, achieving "zero waste and full utilization" and creating a sustainable activated carbon industry ecosystem.
With solid industrial strength, we are a global leader in the activated carbon industry
Winning the National Science and Technology Progress Award this time is a direct testament to Huajing's leading position in the global activated carbon industry. The company's headquarters is located in Pingquan, Hebei Province, a core production area for high-quality biomass raw materials in China. It has established a world-class activated carbon production base with an annual capacity of 50,000 tons, ranking among the top in China's activated carbon industry.
Huajing's industrial strength is built upon three core pillars:
Industry-leading R&D system: Huajing boasts a national-level Biomass Poly-generation Engineering Technology Research Center, has obtained over 30 national patents, and has established long-term strategic cooperation with top institutions such as Nanjing Forestry University and the Chinese Academy of Forestry, continuously leading the iteration of activated carbon technology and product innovation.
Global Market Presence: Huajing's high-end activated carbon products are exported to over 30 countries and regions in North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Oceania, serving thousands of industrial customers in fields such as environmental protection, chemical industry, food, medicine, and new energy. With stable product quality and professional technical services, we have become a trusted activated carbon supplier for customers worldwide.
Sustainable Industry Leadership: As a national high-tech enterprise, a key leading enterprise in national forestry, and a "little giant" enterprise specializing in unique and innovative products in Hebei Province, Huajing has long been committed to promoting the green development of the global activated carbon industry. The biomass co-production technology that won this award has achieved large-scale industrialization, setting an industry benchmark for green production of activated carbon worldwide.
Future Outlook: Leading the Global Activated Carbon Industry into a New Era of Sustainability
This national honor not only affirms Huajing's past achievements but also marks a new starting point for its future development. Moving forward, Huajing will leverage its award-winning technology as a core competency, continuously consolidating its leadership position in the global activated carbon industry, while focusing on three strategic directions:
1. Product innovation and upgrading: Continuously optimize activated carbon performance, develop high-value functional activated carbon suitable for emerging fields such as carbon capture, energy storage, and hydrogen purification, to meet the diverse needs of global customers.
2. Promotion of technology globalization: Promote the international application of Huajing's biomass gasification and activated carbon production technology, assist global partners in building low-carbon and sustainable activated carbon production bases, and work together to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality.
3. Global industrial collaboration: Deepen international technical exchanges and cooperation, share Huajing's advanced activated carbon technology and circular economy solutions, and promote the development of the global activated carbon industry towards low-carbon, high-efficiency, and high-value directions.
The senior management of Chengde Huajing Activated Carbon Co., Ltd. stated, "Winning the National Science and Technology Progress Award is the highest recognition from the industry for our technological innovation and industrial strength in activated carbon. This honor belongs to every R&D and industrial personnel who has dedicated themselves to the field of activated carbon at Huajing. In the future, we will always uphold the mission of 'empowering green development with technology and protecting the ecological environment with activated carbon', and strive to become the world's most trusted partner for activated carbon solutions, contributing Huajing's strength to building a clean, green, and sustainable world."
