In July 2025, the world's first 10000 ton bio based silicone rubber production line was officially put into operation in Shandong, marking the beginning of a new stage of "green reconstruction" in the silicone industry. This production line adopts the rice husk to high activity silane technology developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. By replacing traditional petroleum based materials with biomass raw materials, it not only achieves sustainable supply of raw materials, but also compresses production costs to near the level of petroleum based routes. According to calculations, this production line can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 100000 tons per year, equivalent to the environmental benefits of planting 5 million trees.


This breakthrough quickly triggered a chain reaction in the industry. The EU immediately launched a "carbon footprint tracing" investigation on Chinese photovoltaic adhesive products, requiring transparency of carbon emission data throughout the entire lifecycle of imported products, forcing domestic enterprises to accelerate their green transformation. As a leading player in the industry, Hesheng Silicon Industry has taken the lead in collaborating with chemical giants to layout sugarcane based methanol projects in Brazil. Through the integration of overseas resources, it has solved the price linkage dilemma of "methanol metal silicon" and provided a new paradigm for low-carbon development for the industry.


Driven by technological iteration and policy, the pattern of the organic silicon industry is accelerating its restructuring. Dongyue Group has achieved a 34% reduction in unit energy consumption through the upgrade path of the chloromethane method, meeting the mandatory requirement of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's "15th Five Year Plan for High Quality Development of the New Materials Industry" that "the energy consumption of newly built individual units should be below the industry average by 20%" ahead of schedule; The "Semiconductor Material Certification Accelerator" of Zhongyan Puhua has helped silane coupling agent companies break through TSMC's supply chain, reducing their dependence on electronic grade silicone oil imports from 45% to 28%.


At the market level, the green premium effect is significant. The price of bio based silicone rubber is 15% -20% higher than traditional products, but it is still favored by downstream customers. In the first month of production on the Shandong production line, orders exceeded 30000 tons. Industry experts point out that with the increasingly strict global carbon tariff barriers, bio based materials will become a key bargaining chip for Chinese organic silicon companies to seize the international market. It is expected that by 2028, the market share of China's bio based organic silicon will exceed 30%.
