Next 5-year plan will further stimulate biomass to energy conversion
Over the past 10 years, this topic was substantially funded but mostly reached only pilot-scale. According to plans, power generation from biomass should reach 13 million kW by 2015, with the next target as 20 million kW. To this end, 200 biomass power plants will be supported by up to 90 billion Yuan investment provisioned to regional biomass-related industry.

Fuzhou CreMab Pharmaceutical Co. and Fujian-based partners build independent manufacturing base for therapeutic antibodies
With a total investment of 730 million yuan, a therapeutic monoclonal antibody pilot plant was built which offers a scale of up to 2000 L for the production of monoclonal antibodies for clinical tests and will be further scaled up to 80.000L, enough to produce 3 tons of monoclonal antibody protein (anti tumor) per year. The plant is located in Fujian’s Sanming Hi-Tech Zone.

Group at Tsinghua University solves splicosome structure
Splicosomes are resonsible for correct gene expression and involved in up to 1/3d of genetic disorders. A group around Yingong SHI at Tsinghua University succeeded to solve the x-ray structure of this hitherto elusive group of enzymes. Chinese commentaries consider this finding as relevant for a Nobel prize.
