1. 宗旨 Mission:BECAL, a multidisciplinary institute at NWAFU, focuses on coordinating and facilitating research, outreach and education efforts across the university, building teams and discovery platforms to address the key challenges of developing bioenergy, bio-based products, and circular bioeconomy in Northwest China. 更新发展理念,针对西北地区生物质资源开发利用的深层次问题,打造一流支撑平台和研究团队,推动学科交叉汇聚,突破发展瓶颈,加速内涵式发展,加快建设国际一流农林生物质资源高效利用优势学科群,加速融入生物质资源与生物制造产业的革命性发展潮流,为推动西北地区的循环生物经济和绿色可持续发展贡献力量。

2. 主要研究领域Key Research Areas: 生物质能碳捕集与封存(Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage, BECCS)是减缓全球气候变化的关键技术,其中生物质的碳捕集与封存属性以及生物质能源的碳减排功效是 BECCS 技术的物质基础。黄土高原等西北地区是我国人口、资源、环境矛盾最集中的区域之一,位于半干旱和干旱区域,生态环境脆弱,对气候变化敏感,是我国乃至全球水土流失最严重的地区之一。退耕还林还草等生态建设工程的持续实施显著提升了黄土高原植被覆盖率,但不合理的生态建设布局影响了区域水资源的可持续性和粮食安全。调整植被恢复策略,发展可持续的循环生物质经济,是实现黄土高原地区可持续发展的重要途径,这需要多学科协同创新,包括生物质作物育种、种植技术体系优化、生物质转化利用技术开发以及产业链环境与经济综合效益评估和目标优化等。中心的研究方向包括:(1)创新旱区优良生物质作物分子育种策略:干旱半干旱地区制约生物质作物产量的主要环境因素包括土壤含水量低、养分贫瘠和盐渍化等,本研究方向聚焦光合产物合成、分配和沉积机制及其逆境响应机制分析,明晰逆境条件下植物生物质(细胞壁)合成调控的分子基础,为制定生物质作物的高产多抗分子育种策略奠定理论与技术基础;(2)优化牧草/能源草种植技术体系:该方向研究聚焦生物质转化利用副产品生物炭和沼肥以及促生菌对生物质作物出苗率、生物量以及土壤改良和碳沉积的影响,为优化改良本地区优良生物质作物的种植管理技术体系建设奠定基础;(3)提升生物质转化利用效率:细胞壁是植物生物质的主要成分,光合作用产物主要沉积于细胞壁,形成纤维素和半纤维素等多糖聚合物以及木质素等酚类聚合物,它们之间的相互作用维持细胞壁刚性和结构完整性,同时影响细胞壁转化利用效率。阐明生物质抗降解屏障作用机制,不仅有助于提升厌氧发酵产沼气等转化利用效率,也对生物质作物品种选育具有指导意义;(4)生物质经济产业链多目标优化与发展评估:生物质作物的数量性状,如产量及环境适应性,由基因型与环境相互作用或在不同目标环境中生长的基因型的响应所决定。该方向研究利用基于基因型和环境互作的作物生长模型,描述不同土壤和气候条件下生物质作物基因型特征,预测不同环境和气候条件下生物质产量,为作物育种及种植和管理提供重要依据;并通过生物质作物经济和环境效益评估模型,评估相关产业链的经济、社会和生态环境价值,明确不同区域的育种、种植和利用技术优化目标,结合产业链中转化利用技术的生命周期和技术经济评估,不断提高生物质循环利用体系的直接价值和间接价值,包括产品价值和生态环境价值等,协同推进本地区降碳、减污、扩绿、增长,助力生态优先、节约集约和绿色低碳的生物质经济发展。
