A few days ago, the China Rural Professional and Technical Association issued the "Reply on Agreeing to Establish the "Science and Technology Courtyard of the China Rural Professional and Technical Association", and set up 196 science and technology courtyards nationwide.
Shandong Rongcheng Big Peanut Science and Technology Courtyard and Shandong Rongcheng Seaweed Science and Technology Courtyard declared by Rongcheng City were successfully approved.
The Science and Technology Academy is an agricultural science and technology socialization service platform integrating talent training, scientific research and social services, and an effective platform for promoting rural science popularization, promoting modern agricultural science and technology, serving the "three rural" and rural revitalization. The Science and Technology Academy focuses on researching and solving practical problems in agricultural and rural production practice, effectively connecting experts and farmers, transporting advanced theories and technologies to the grassroots level, and helping to accelerate the formation of new quality productivity in the development of agriculture.
The WeChat public account of "China Rongcheng" will be divided into two phases, taking you to focus on the two national-level science and technology institutes that have been successfully approved. Today I will take you to see the Rongcheng Seaweed Science and Technology Courtyard.
The team of professors of Shandong University took root in Rongcheng to "fish for kelp"
"Fish" out of a national science and technology courtyard
Why choose Rongcheng this company to cooperate
What kind of concept makes each other "go both ways"?
This state-level science and technology institute is related to the sea
Let's take a look with the editor!
The team of professors of Shandong University took root in Rongcheng to "fish for kelp"
As an expert team of the Seaweed Science and Technology Academy, the team of Professor Liu Jihua of the Institute of Oceanography of Shandong University rushed to Rongcheng from Qingdao again this month. The main work of their trip is to "fish for kelp" and "load seawater" in the breeding area of Generation Marine Biotechnology Co., Ltd. This experiment has been going on for more than a year.
What is the doorway for the seemingly ordinary kelp and seawater to "fish" out of this national science and technology courtyard?
Rongcheng Seaweed Science and Technology Institute is based on Weihai Generation Marine Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and is jointly built by Shandong Association for Science and Technology, Weihai Association for Science and Technology, Shandong University (Qingdao) and other units. Under the research of Professor Liu Jihua's team, the Seaweed Science and Technology Institute has successively overcome many technical problems such as marine algae microbial enzyme preparations, enzymatic preparation of seaweed biofertilizer, etc., broken through the key technologies for the application of modern seaweed biological enzymes, and built the first domestic production line of enzymatic production of seaweed organic water-soluble fertilizer.
Kelp is harvested only once a year, which is a special test of the observer's patience. In order to find out their temperament, Professor Liu Jihua's team set up a temporary "small home" by the sea, which is not only a simple mattress, but also precision experimental equipment. From here, it only takes 10 minutes to drive the ship to the offshore experimental platform.
The first year was particularly difficult. Compared with other scientific research fields that "stand on the shoulders of giants", the research on blue carbon undertakings "must become giants themselves". Liu Jihua led a team of graduate students to settle in one after another, starting from boring data collection and induction, carrying out basic research, and solidly writing the "thesis" of marine carbon sink in the sea.
The seedlings were clamped in November of that year, raised in February of the following year, and harvested in April...... For more than two years, Professor Liu Jihua's team members have blown the cold sea breeze and soaked in the icy seawater. Through tireless observations, they collected seaweed and seawater data in different seasons and at different times, and analyzed and summarized the impact of seaweed growth on marine carbon sinks.
The concept of "carbon sequestration" allows each other to go both ways
"We have 15,000 acres of marine ecological farms, which can produce more than 200,000 tons of fresh brown algae such as kelp with carbon sequestration effect every year. Marine carbon sequestration is also the focus of the research of Professor Liu Jihua's team. Yao Jingyuan, general manager of the Generation Marine R&D Center, said that it is the concept of "carbon sequestration" that allows each other to go both ways.
At the end of 2021, the Academician Jiao Nianzhi Workstation for Marine Negative Emissions in Shandong Province was established. Liu Jihua, who studied under Academician Jiao Nianzhi, began to carry out a carbon sink survey in the Rongcheng sea area. It was at this time that he met Lee Myung-tan, the like-minded president of Generation Marine.
"You have the technology, we have the space, can we do some research together that is beneficial to the development of the marine industry?" The idea of hitting it off made both of them a little "enthusiastic". In less than a month, the two sides decided to build a laboratory by the sea in Rongcheng to carry out research on carbon sequestration by seaweed. Generation Marine invests 15% of the company's revenue in the construction of small courtyards and technology research and development.
With the vigorous growth of emerald green kelp, a number of technical difficulties have gradually broken through. Marine algae microbial enzyme preparations, enzymatic preparation of seaweed biofertilizer and other technologies have been put on the market, and the products are exported to more than 30 countries and regions.
Rely on strength to achieve a win-win situation
Weihai Generation Marine Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise in China, a leading enterprise in agricultural industrialization in Shandong Province and a key enterprise in the Blue Economic Zone of Shandong Province, with a marine breeding base of 15,000 mu and an annual output of more than 20 tons of fresh brown algae such as kelp.
The company attaches great importance to scientific and technological innovation, and has successively organized teams to overcome many technical problems such as marine algae microbial enzyme preparation and enzymatic preparation of seaweed biofertilizer. In order to solve the problems of low utilization rate of seaweed and environmental pollution, through industry-university-research cooperation, we have broken through the key technologies for the application of modern seaweed biological enzymes, and built the first domestic production line of organic water-soluble fertilizer by enzymatic method with a production capacity of 100,000 tons by using biological enzymatic hydrolysis, nutrient enrichment and separation technologies.
The company's team has successively developed a variety of products such as Poseidon Puree Series, Kelp Enzyme Puree Series, Natural Plant Stimulant Series, Kelp Puree Calcium, Magnesium/Zinc Boron Series, etc. The product completely retains the diversity and biological activity of kelp nutrition, and can be widely used in fruits, vegetables, Chinese herbal medicines, grains and oils and other crops, and has significant effects on soil remediation, increasing yield and improving the quality of agricultural products.
