China News Service, Kunming, October 20 (Reporter Han Shuainan) Reporter learned from the press conference of Yunnan Province’s first batch of national landmark major application scenario projects held in Kunming on the 20th that Yunnan Province has now built the country’s largest coffee resource nursery with the most complete germplasm, preserved more than 1,500 germplasm resources, and independently bred 22 new varieties; it has built the country’s first dedicated coffee fermentation microorganism strain bank, developed 30 new coffee products, and achieved a value increase of 10 to 35 times on the raw material side.
It was introduced at the press conference that recently, three scenario projects declared by Yunnan Province, including innovative integration of the entire coffee industry chain, research and development and clinical transformation of medical-grade xenotransplantation donor pigs, and construction of international standards and certification mechanisms for green energy, were selected into the first batch of 136 iconic major application scenario projects.
The first coffee industry chain innovative integrated application scenario project is based on the complementary endowments of Yunnan and Jiangsu to create a new cross-provincial collaborative model of "Yunnan raw material science and technology innovation + Kunshan market transformation". Among them, Yunnan’s advantages lie in the “front-end”: the scale of green planting ranks first in the country, its technical systems such as green processing, comprehensive utilization of by-products, and directional fermentation are mature, and its location is prominent in South and Southeast Asia; Kunshan’s advantages lie in “transformation”: the amount of roasted green beans accounts for about 60% of the country’s total, and it leads the innovation in bonded supervision. It is also connected to the vast areas of coffee consumption markets such as Shanghai, and effectively connects the front and back ends of the coffee industry.
Relying on the scientific research and industrial foundation of Yunnan's germplasm innovation, green planting, and intensive processing, coupled with Kunshan's baking production capacity and circulation advantages adjacent to the Shanghai port, a division of labor and collaboration has been formed: Yunnan focuses on upstream seed selection, flavor research and development, and pilot trials of new processes; Kunshan undertakes large-scale mass production, international trade and market feedback, achieving two-way empowerment of scientific research and end consumption, and opening up the "last mile" of industrialization of scientific and technological achievements.
The second project selected is the research and development and clinical transformation application scenario project of medical-grade xenogeneic organ transplant donor pigs. This scenario addresses global problems such as the serious imbalance between supply and demand in organ transplantation and the immune rejection faced by xenotransplantation. It uses Yunnan Agricultural University’s independent technology of gene-edited donor pigs as the core to open up the entire transformation chain of basic research, technology research and development, and human clinical use, and systematically overcome key technologies such as immune rejection.
The third project is an application scenario project to promote the construction of international standards and certification mechanisms for green energy, which is carried out by the Yunnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission in conjunction with the International Green Energy Organization (GEIO) and China Southern Power Grid Corporation. Relying on the core advantages of Yunnan leading the country in the proportion of green electricity installed capacity and the International Green Energy Organization (GEIO) leading the formulation of the green electricity consumption standard system, and relying on the access policy of the Hengqin Guangdong-Macao Deep Cooperation Zone, using electrolytic aluminum, silicon photovoltaics, new energy batteries and other high-energy export enterprises as pilot projects to promote the cloud The international certification of green electricity consumption in South China is the first to be piloted, and the certification results are promoted to be aligned with international rules such as the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), and a closed loop of the entire chain of "accurate traceability of green electricity - provincial carbon emission factor accounting - international certification and certification" is established, forming a "Yunnan model" of clean energy value transformation.
In the next step, Yunnan will fully promote the construction of three iconic major scene projects. At the same time, 53 specific scenario application areas to be promoted in the province were detailed to accelerate the formation of a good scenario innovation ecosystem with cross-provincial collaboration, government-enterprise linkage, social participation, and diversified co-construction, so that the large-scale application of new scenarios can become a solid support for high-quality economic and social development.
Iconic major application scenario projects are major projects selected by the state that have a leading role in promoting the large-scale implementation of new technologies and new products. Compared with traditional projects, it has the characteristics of being cross-industry, cross-field and even covering the entire industrial chain. It is highly systematic and complex. It has the potential to promote overall systemic changes and drive key industry applications and system upgrades.
