The pollution from rapid economy development in past 30 years in China has caused increasing demand on implementation of green process. To support Chinese sustainable development, the key consideration to meet this demand is how to promote Green Process research development in China and simultaneously accelerate its commercialization process. There appears to be more challenges arising from overcoming the engineering barriers in commercializing the research results from lab scale to large scale. Through some cases of rapid development of unconventional green mediums realizing clean productions, we try to conclude successful elements which would be useful for future development.
